universal background checks are a common sense solution to gun violence - how is this not true?

[Socrates]

 When you see things that happened in France yesterday     Gun ownership for the individual to protect themselves makes a lot more sense 

But mass killings don't happen in places with strict gun-control laws, like France!

. . . Oh, wait . . .

Did anyone actually say that?

I thought the alleged rationale for "gun-control" laws was to prevent murder, especially mass murders such as those Dear Leader insisted "don't happen in other countries."

I don't see why you must refer to the president with such an antagonizing tone that you would invoke a title used by Kim-Jong Il. I think we can respectfully disagree with our leaders without being insulting (and the same would apply to people who disrespected President Bush - I think that they were wrong too).

But apparently President Obama did say that - I would agree that it is wrong.

Some people do, but usually only in soundbites meant to garner support for central planning of gun ownership.

To me, a gun owner, Gun Shows is the loophole that needs to be plugged.  Background checks are good enough.  There aren't enough gov folks to review the current gun purchase forms as it is.

Socrates is psychologically incapable of accurately representing his opponent's argument
