In his Sept. 18 column, Dave Skinner once again missed the mark. With his all too common complaint about how the federal government can’t do anything right, Mr. Skinner now targets firearm background checks. Rather than celebrate that background checks kept 181,000 firearms from being sold to criminals last year he lambasts the federal government for not prosecuting the offenders. |

No comment provision on that site.
The writer thinks that if a constitutional violation that doesn't bother him is so small as to be no big deal, he needs a good smack.
There is no, like ZERO, authority delegated to the federal government in the Constitution to regulate private sales of firearms or anything else.
If he wants his state to enact them and it doesn't violate its own constitution, well, have at it.\
But at least know WTF is happening, and why or why not. |

OK, then how about a common sense background check before anyone can cast a vote in a federal election.
Right to vote and right to bear arms both protected by the constitution, so shouldn't be a problem now should it? |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
