Presumption of innocence isn't part of the constitution. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 26/04/2013 09:30:17 PM

There are amendments which imply that concept, but that doesn't make it anything close to having a "basis" in the presumption of innocence. The idea that background checks would sow how infringe on the presumption of innocence is absolutely bizarre. That presumption applies to criminal trials—not to the interpretation of the Bill of Rights.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

The point is that background checks already exist on every commercial firearm transaction. HyogaRott - 27/04/2013 05:16:41 AM 775 Views
but we all know there is no correlation between having a gun and shooting someone with it moondog - 22/04/2013 05:30:12 PM 706 Views
I wonder which other Constitutional rights should require a background check to excercise? *NM* HyogaRott - 22/04/2013 08:56:15 PM 265 Views
