You know why we don't have a working instant background check system? Because we don't trust the government not to expand the "check" into a "denial". The FBI was reduced to having to call around to the surrounding counties to see if Mr. Dylann Roof, the Charleston massacre boy/man had any legal problems that would stop him from obtaining a handgun within 3 days. Whose fault is that? You'd think, with all of the thousands of college educated FBI people, that they could come up with a way to check someone out quicker than that in the time since computers and the internet have been here. You'd think. I guess I know why, though. It's because in order to pass a law that requires everyone to get cleared before they buy a gun, they must deny them the ability to buy that gun...until they are cleared. I get it. All they have to do then is to refuse to clear anyone and they have what they wanted in the first place. Then all they have to do is make the rest of our guns illegal like they did in Australia and we'd have utopia.
Why don't I trust the government? Take Social Security. Until LBJ was elected by liberals....that means "Give away money until the system collapses...then enslave everyone and we'll have utopia", the Social Security system was a trust fund. LBJ needed money to pay for his war in Vietnam and his "Great Society" welfare program. So he hijacked the social security trust fund, dumping it into the general fund with what he called the "Unified Budget Act". And just like he said after the law passed, minorities...he used the N word... would be voting for Democrats for 200 years. I have seen and heard the tape. I believe it was real. Votes. Screwed America for votes. And they never fixed it. Politicians. We can't trust them.
LBJ is long gone and I am glad he is. We cannot change what has happened. But what we must do is to require truth from our politicians. We would have control of our gun sales if we could trust our government. But we can't.
The government is busy trying to get to the point where it can deny Social Security benefits to more elderly people and get away with it POLITICALLY. That means, do it and still not get voted out of office for it.
I personally think that term limits and campaign finance reform would go a long way toward fixing our government. As it is now from day one politicians have to begin soliciting donations for relection...in other words, making promises to special interest groups...those with deep and shallow pockets. We need to stop that. We need to level the playing field. Right now the only thing a politician needs is enough money to get a firey, utopia promising message to every fire breathing protester in the country.
And we, the taxpayers, the folks with jobs, the responsible, sane crowd, the ones that pay the bills and shoulder the debt, still have to finagle time off from work to vote! There is something that we CAN trust the government to do and that is to do everything they can to screw us!
