Now I understand your points. I kind of not agree with you, but I definitely see your point of views now. You are definitely not a hippocrite in my book now, thanks for your private message for clarifications.
I also would like to thank you for a healthy debates.
How does it work currently? Can someone cross the border from Mexico and purchase a gun right now? How does a gun store check his background if the person just arrived? Or is the clean record you're referring to only count his time in the US?
I have no way of knowing how the the check is done beyond the FBI data base and I doubt it is. As long as you have been here a certain time, I think 90 or 180 days and have a green card you can buy a gun.
We just happen to be purchasing a Golden Boy a few months back, over in Oregon, when a clean cut nice looking Mexican fella was turned down as the customer in front of us. We overheard the reason which was he needed to be here another 30 days. The clerk told him to come back then and he could buy. We ask the clerk how long and he told us but it has at the moment slipped my mind.
But what if the purchaser was from Timbuktu, or Tasmania, or Siberia?? How could a reasonable check have been accomplished? Simple it can't.
