I can go to any number of websites and pay for a quality background check on anyone. The data is aggregated from all over the country. I don't know what the lag is on, for example, an arrest to show up in the databases but it's clearly possible for this information to be searchable and the service is provided for a reasonable fee. Can the FBI not do a better job than beenverified.com?

6,360 people have been injured by gun violence in America and 3,742 have been killed since Jan. 1, 2014.	physics	May 15, 2014 03:45AM
LOL "Four people were killed, including a 15-year-old boy, and at least 22 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago between Friday night and Sunday night. "	panir	May 19, 2014 11:45AM
Alternatively: would even easier access to guns make things better in Chicago?	Quixotic	May 19, 2014 01:10PM
My theory is that it depends on scale	Rade	May 21, 2014 01:48PM
Exactly.	vortexmagus	May 19, 2014 08:55PM
Yeah!	MiyagiYojimbo	May 20, 2014 05:22AM
Here, let's take your claim and compare it to some numbers in the real world!	vortexmagus	May 20, 2014 08:17AM
You forgot one!	MiyagiYojimbo	May 20, 2014 10:44AM

I really need to get this touchpad fixed. (n/t)	Nurok	May 20, 2014 11:52AM
The largest problem: My laptop touchpad double posting everything I write. (n/t)	Nurok	May 20, 2014 11:05AM

Majority of Americans are stupid, and believe what the NRA says that Obama is going to take your guns, instead of making some kind of gun reform laws. (n/t)	funnyone	May 19, 2014 04:05AM

This, I agree with. (n/t)	Doof	May 17, 2014 06:38AM
I miss the days before guns were invented when we didn't have murders. (n/t)	Dalbrin	May 16, 2014 03:33PM
Protect the city, or protect my own backyard?	Quixotic	May 16, 2014 02:27PM
I don't know..	MiyagiYojimbo	May 16, 2014 02:36PM
I'm in favor of gun control when...	PaulO	May 16, 2014 02:02PM
Bring on the spiky mohawk gangs. (n/t)	MiyagiYojimbo	May 16, 2014 02:07PM
Can you dig it? (n/t)	Doof	May 17, 2014 12:13AM
The future is our's	MiyagiYojimbo	May 17, 2014 06:41AM
So getting rid of all guns will solve everything? That's your magical band-aid? (n/t)	Frosty	May 15, 2014 08:37AM
Now compare those numbers to the population, the population that owns guns, and the rate of non-firearm-related violent injuries/deaths. (n/t)	Matrik	May 15, 2014 05:15AM
I guess this places you firmly in the "I don't give a shit" camp.	physics	May 15, 2014 06:47AM
I've experienced a-e and been robbed with a handgun levelled at my head and I still don't think pulling everyone's guns is the answer. NT (n/t)	Falstaff	May 15, 2014 02:35PM
I'm fairly certain that I have had more firearms and explosive directed at killing me than you have probably heard fired.	Matrik	May 15, 2014 08:13AM

With some scanning, I fail to see any relevance in these articles to what I said.	Matrik	May 15, 2014 03:53PM
Curious	Rade	May 15, 2014 02:18PM
I would also suggest that this makes purchasing legal guns more difficult if you were planning to use it for criminal activity.	vortexmagus	May 15, 2014 05:23PM
That's what waiting periods are for	Rade	May 17, 2014 03:08AM
Re: Curious	alansmithee	May 15, 2014 03:14PM
Meh, I'm not buying it	Rade	May 17, 2014 03:03AM
This isn't an opinion.	alansmithee	May 17, 2014 08:24AM
Then what is the FBI's NICS?	Rade	May 18, 2014 03:00PM
Great post. NT	Sam	May 15, 2014 09:45AM
You'll never get it.	Doof	May 15, 2014 07:55AM
There are many good arguments for gun ownership, but "I need to be protected from the government" is not one of them.	vortexmagus	May 15, 2014 09:16AM
Look at Afghanistan. That's all there is to my response argument. (n/t)	Doof	May 16, 2014 04:26PM
Afghanistan: Classic example of conservative pro-gun activists protecting themselves from a corrupt government.	vortexmagus	May 16, 2014 09:05PM
I'm not even going to bother explaining, since you'll willfully ignore the point. You remind me of my kids when they were 8 and 9. (n/t)	Doof	May 17, 2014 12:15AM
Awww, more insults because you lack legitimate arguments?	vortexmagus	May 17, 2014 03:51PM
You dumbass. My point was that they've managed to frustrate two extremely powerful armies for years.	Doof	May 18, 2014 12:21AM
The Nazis were rocket designers. There is no other distinguishing qualities between the two groups. (n/t)	MiyagiYojimbo	May 17, 2014 07:28PM
You assume the entire of the military has the government's back.	MiyagiYojimbo	May 15, 2014 10:05AM
I wasn't thinking entirely of the military, more of the police and national guard (which is a branch of the military, I suppose).	vortexmagus	May 15, 2014 10:12AM
I started hearing circus music in my head while reading your post.	Frosty	May 15, 2014 09:45AM
I never said you were helpless. I just said that I didn't think guns were very effective defenses against the government.	vortexmagus	May 15, 2014 10:05AM
Guns are better than what TS would leave us with, which is nothing but probably "hope and change". (n/t)	Doof	May 15, 2014 11:49PM
You said it yourself, you don't think. (n/t)	Frosty	May 15, 2014 04:29PM
Wrong	Matrik	May 15, 2014 09:25AM
If I revise my definition of government to include those individuals, then yes.	vortexmagus	May 15, 2014 10:26AM
Agreed.	Matrik	May 15, 2014 04:03PM
Bad ideas	MiyagiYojimbo	May 15, 2014 10:59AM
"I can see what you're saying but I won't agree with it because I can think of exceptional cases"	Srev	May 15, 2014 10:29AM
Pretty much. It gets really annoying after a while too. (n/t)	Frosty	May 15, 2014 04:32PM
Shit that happens in Shallotte doesn't count. (n/t)	Doof	May 15, 2014 05:08AM
Neat, can you also supply a list of all people to have explosive diarrhea? (n/t)	legobelt	May 15, 2014 05:06AM
The NSA has one, I'm sure. (n/t)	Doof	May 17, 2014 01:41AM
