I could keep going. There are literally thousands of these. Most of which aren't helping anyone from being hurt, and some of them actually hurt people. So considering the ways your rights are absurdly infringed without any possible good coming from it, does it really seem so ridiculous to ask you to pass a background check before buying a gun? Yea, not so much.
