Note to the anti crowd - repeating logical, successful arguments against you does not somehow prove your point.

This is off-the-charts idiocy.

SEUNG-HUI CHO didn’t get the guns he used to kill 33 Virginia Tech students and faculty, including himself, from a gun show. But legislation to close the loophole in Virginia law that allows certain purchases at gun shows without a background check is justified if we are to prevent a recurrence of the madness and sadness of April 16.

How, shit for brains? You defeat your argument, and then argue your point anyway. Is this REALLY the best you can do?

On Friday, the Republican-led House Militia, Police and Public Safety committee killed its version in a 13-9 party-line vote. The legislation was added to the docket late Thursday in an apparent effort to head off supporters’ organizational efforts. Be aware that GOP panel members have received thousands of dollars in contributions from gun-rights advocates.

Be aware that the EEEEEEEEEEEVIL GUN LOBBY has your representatives wrapped around their filthy little blood-stained trigger fingers!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAA!

The legislation has been greeted with a firestorm of criticism from gun-rights advocates across the commonwealth and the country. Their outrage is predictable, but their fears groundless. The Second Amendment states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” The infringement of that right, however, is not at issue here. The idea is to keep guns out of the wrong hands, and all should stand united in favor of it.

Require background checks for eBay sales! We cannot allow unregulated “straw” purchases of vintage ALF lunchboxes!

“Guns don’t kill people; people kill people,” gun-rights advocates say, but that’s the point of the legislation: Keep guns away from people who might use them to kill people. It won’t be 100 percent successful. Neither is the law against robbing banks. The point is, if you rob a bank, the law provides a punishment. That serves as a deterrent to others.

Only in the twisted mind of a mentally deranged leftist anti-gun collectivist globule of subway ichor can you compare robbing a bank to buying an inanimate object.

Is there a law against killing people? Yes. Is there a punishment for it? Yes. And still it’s not a deterrent. People rob banks anyway, even though there’s a risk of capture or death. The author of this steaming little pile of anti-crap has so twisted themselves within a web of their own arguments and the words bouncing around their comfortable little echo chamber that it’s impossible for them to actually make sense.

Common sense suggests the need to extend background checks (already used in stores) to gun shows. This shouldn’t be a problem: If a gun buyer has nothing to hide, why would he or she object?

How did this whole “background checks do not exist at gun shows” thing get started? Last I checked, if you’re a dealer at a gun show, you damn well better be conducting background checks.

Between 1994 and 2005, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System blocked 1.4 million sales to prohibited purchasers. Virginia State Police say background checks by licensed dealers stopped 2,668 improper gun sales in Virginia in 2005 alone.

Tech shooter Cho’s history of mental illness was not accessible in the background checks he underwent.

I love it. It’s a greatest hits piece of arguments that can’t be refuted. They’re just restated along with the anti agenda to mask the fact that the IQ of these arguments is about in line with a burlap bag filled with farting sea cucumbers (hmmm. Do they fart? Likely not, but I believe the comparison is accurate nonetheless).

A responsible society seeks out the causes of tragedies such as the Virginia Tech shootings and strives to prevent them.

They were. Dumbass.

Gun-rights advocates may invoke the Second Amendment, but in the case of this common sense legislation, that dog won’t hunt. Those who oppose the legislation are shooting themselves in the foot–and putting the rest of us at risk.

Yeah, and why do we need to stop with gun shows, right? Why not extend it to our homes? Let the ATF come in and double check our gun safes and locks just to be sure we’re not endangering ourselves and society!

If we don’t have anything to hide, why should we mind, right?
