Shani.....it would make you a supporter of the original 1994 Brady "Gun Control" Act, assuming by background checks you mean some people should be prevented from legally purchasing guns.
The Brady Bill prohibits the following persons from buying firearms:
* Those under indictment for, or convicted of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
* Fugitives from justice;
* Users of controlled substances;
* Persons adjudicated as "mental defective" or committed to mental institutions;
* Illegal aliens;
* Individuals dishonorably discharged from the military;
* Those who have renounced their United States citizenship;
* Persons subject to a court order restraining a person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or the child of the intimate partner; or,
* Those convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor.
The waiting period has been since been waived with the implementation of the computerized "insta-check system, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
IMO,the Brady Act is sensible "gun control"
