Yes we should do background checks, and we should not allow people that have violent or ctiminal backgrounds to possess firearms. But here in Canada I keep seeing case after case where people that have been prohibited from owning firearms, are found possessing firearms. Obviously the prohibitions are not working, so unless we deal with the offenders much more harshly, the prohibitions mean nothing. Take the Stanley incident as an example, the individuals in the vehicle were prohibited from owning firearms, yet they were impaired and had a loaded firearm in the vehicle.
