text: So the argument is, because the background check system is weak and flawed, there should not be any attempts to fix it?? About the same number of Americans now die by firearms as die in traffic accidents. I guess we should scrap our traffic laws too as using the same logic, they appear to be flawed too. The second amendment states that a WELL REGULATED State militia has the right to bear arms. What part of the term "well regulated" do gun rights advocates not understand?
