I guess we should just have a running one since they happen so often now. Horrific news from Nice. At least 80 dead as of now according to reports.

Hilliary's been talking out more against the Jihadists. That's one area where's she's a bit vulnerable, IMO. |

Ban cars. |

Definitely no point in doing things to try and prevent more gun violence when we still have cars. Amiright? |

Sarcastic? Yes. Relevant? Yes. Are you blaming truck manufacturers and the lack of background checks on truck sales for this tragedy? |

Cars and guns aren't the same. We actually require people to take a test in order to be able to use a car. |

I am not sure French truck ownership laws have any relevance to gun ownership in the USofA, |

Here let me answer for grey. Nuh-uh. I can drive a truck on my property anytime I want without a license... Cause roads are not required to drive. |

Totally right? Just like all those times I said we should ban guns, right? trucks /= gun /= forks /= C4 What you do with one does not mean you have to do the same with literally everything else. |

It's illegal for me to buy a bike, therefore it should be illegal for everyone to buy a gun. |

We do not require you to take any tests whatsoever to buy a truck. None. I don't think person like this idiot in France would care much about whether or not they are legally operating the vehicle that they are about to use to slaughter 50 people. Same as the criminal who acquires a gun. |

Dreach, do you think we should have mandatory background checks for all truck purchases? |

I think the current method we use of requiring a license and registration in order to drive a car is enough. In private sales, I wouldn't expect us to require a private citizen to run a background check on someone else. But, when the new registration is sent in with the new owner, if that person is legally not allowed to drive the car, I would expect that registration to be denied, thereby making the car illegal to drive. I don't know whether this opinion constitutes me being in favor a background checks for cars or not. I guess on some level it both does and doesn't. Edited by dreachon, Jul 15 2016, 01:37 PM.
