Of course Mike, but that is not the issue at hand. The issue is him getting his hands on a gun. A FTF transfer (legal or illegal) will do just that and by-pass the background check. That is what the OP is trying to avoid. They can not simply rely on a background check to prevent him from getting a gun.
And that's why I only sell guns FTF to children. Most of them are too young to have a felony record.
Well, if he's no longer an irresponsible alcohol user there's no reason he shouldn't own guns unless he's a PP. Ain't my business anyway.
A friend's Dad was a raging alcoholic back in the day. He hasn't had a drink in 15 years and is one of the best people I know.
Do you think anyone who has ever struggled with alcohol abuse should be barred from ever owning firearms?
No, but an alcoholic is responsible for their actions while drinking, and if they did something that makes them a PP, or statutorily DQ'd then they own it.
Sobriety is not a get out of jail free card (so says the guy with 10 years, 9 months and 7 days of sobriety)

Its the sick, backward, logic of people like the two of you that creates gun control in the first place. Life is complicated, and there's a lot of responsibility involved. Stupidity in general is dangerous, to you and others. Taking away a drivers license doesn't prohibit driving just as gun control doesn't keep guns out of criminals hands. If these people can't be trusted to be part of society, then they need to be locked up... none of this half-way bullshit. Should they be free or not?
Congrats glockaholic! My father is a success story.....had 20 years of sobriety under his belt before he passed away.
Everyone else.....thanks for the information and the opinions.....they are all very enlightening. THe bottom line here is my buddy is struggling and has a background that will probably prohibit him from LEGALLY purchasing a fie arm.....which is what his family and I are hoping for.
Hiltonizer.....you are right.....making him PP can't stop him from ILLEGALLY purchasing a fire arm just like taking his license did not stop him from driving drunk even after he lost it. But the info I have received is enough to put his father at ease that he won't be able obtain a fire arm easily anyway.
I've received all the info I need from the members here so mods feel free to lock this if you feel fit......it seems like the discussion may get ugly soon!

No, I wouldn't. That's exactly why I'm not a danger. I also wouldn't get fully loaded and go driving my truck either. I don't even like to go down my basement stairs after several pops.
But that's exactly my point, you say people that would shouldn't have access to guns... but we still can't stop people from doing stupid shit... all we do is make things more difficult for us. This is a half-baked system. Either habitually wreckless people need to be dealt with comprehensively, or we need to accept their existence without expense to the rest of us.

I think the lack of comprehension is on your end.
What i'm saying is, that gun control is a farce. If there are people out there too dumb or too dangerous to have one, they are a danger to society in general.. not just because of guns. So lets deal with the people directly, not create gun specific laws. You seem to be advocating gun control which effects us all.
