Even our right to freedom of speech draws a line around things like not having the right to yell 'fire' in a crowded theater. In other words exercising that right has limits when expressing it in a way that endangers others.
How can you equate having background checks with keeping firearms away from "law abiding" citizens? Wouldn't a law abiding citizen be able to pass a check?

How many times does it need to be pointed out to them that there are already restrictions in place indexed to the 2nd Amendment...?
It's really not complicated, but they sure want it to be.
Ineffective restrictions and requirements that are not enforced and that are unevenly applied don't count. That's what we have now and it is not working. Even in a perfect world where restrictions were wonderful some nut would manage to get a firearm he was not supposed to have but that is no reason to do nothing.
Just because people speed doesn't mean we do away with posted speed limits. We just keep trying to keep the public safety in mind.
