And yet I'm the nutbar. Tell me, anti gun heros, when I get background checks performed everyday, have been proven to be a peace loving individual who does not commit crime, and passed training programs to ensure capability in owning firearms...
Why would I trust any of you? Whens the last time you had a background check?

that's great and all, but I still wouldn't trust you as far as I can throw you in terms of carrying a gun in public and not shooting me by mistake when you decide to be hero just because you know how to clean your gun and shoot on a range and engage the safety.
And just because you did a background check that doesn't show that maybe you recently got divorced or fired or walked in on your wife on all fours with your neighbor bob grinding away while drinking your favorite bottle of scotch without wiping the rim to prevent splashback that you're not going to have a psychotic episode and see your gun sitting there and deciding that you are the avenging angel of god or dog or whatever you believe in.
I'm not anti-gun trust me on that, but I'm anti having a gun is a right. I'm anti its alright for me to enforce the law because I have a license. I'm actually anti exotic guns with magazines and rapid fire capability with fancy laser sites and a ability to conceal it easily, because frankly hobbists and hunters don't need that kind of firepower.
