Why Even Bother?

Yeah sure, you wanna buy a firearm? No problem, here you go. Right over the counter, you look like a good guy so I'll cut you a break. Psh, what do I look like? Someone who doesn't want to keep his job? You will fill out the paperwork, you WILL submit to a background check, and if you don't pass, it's not my problem! Having a serious or violent criminal record f***s you up for life dumbass. When people tell you: "Don't do drugs," "Don't drink and drive," "Don't hit your girlfriend," or "Don't knock off a liquor store or steal a car," they are not trying to register you for the Republican party, they are trying to prevent you from preventing yourself from owning a firearm! California is the worst place to purchase a firearm. With all the idiots running around, we have to have ridiculous legislation in order to make sure someone like the before-mentioned does not arm themselves. Just think about it: The more people you pack in to an area, the more idiots are in that area, I'm just playing by the percentages here. How else can you control the idiots? You can't separate them out, so everyone suffers (i.e. the stringent and strict laws in California for obtaining firearms). Now I've just wasted my time with you at this counter, opening up every rack and showing you several firearms, only for you to tell me you have "a record" and ask if your girlfriend can fill out the paperwork for you. I don't want to believe in the phrase, "Once a criminal, always a criminal." I believe in second chances, people make mistakes in the long journey of life. But these people walking in to the store and doing these kinds of things makes me have doubts. I am sitting in class right now, fully appreciating my education, because I have a firm grasp of logic and reason, and I feel bad for those who never had that. Will mankind ever get better.......?
