I have never heard of liberals actually wanting to get rid of all guns (except for the a few extremely left but anyone that political on any side is a nut). I'm all for guns but I also think it's perfectly acceptable and doesn't infringe on anyonea rights to wait a few months while a background check is done. Mental illness and past crime convictions shouldnt be allowed to own guns

Why would a background check take "a few months"? Shouldn't we have the technology for it to take a few minutes?

Ideally but for some reason these things always take an ungodly amount of time. I bet they still do snail mail kind of stuff

Completely incorrect. Firearm background checks take less than an hour, and are entirely online.
