So, you have no regard for human life? Can't be bothered with a pesky waiting period, if it may keep some kid from dying somewhere? Why are you so against it? Do you have something to hide? I've always believed that the only people against background checks are the ones that have something in their past that they don't want others knowing about. That's the only reasonable explanation IMO.

I believe that the highest regard for human life comes from providing for its defense, of which personal defense through the possession of firearms is the highest form. I have always believed that those who are for gun control (yes, your limits are exactly that) are simple tyrants looking for easy ways to exploit their fellow man. Those who claim to be anti-gun or pro-gun control or in favor of "common sense gun regulation" are really just in favor of the concentration of firearms in the hands of a small cadre of the elite, foolishly believing that they will always be a part of that small circle. Guns will always exist, if they must exist then I will demand to always be in control of them, because I know the horrific outcomes we will inevitably see if we the People are not.
