Gun background checks should include references. [View all]

Gun background checks should include references from people with no criminal records, who are vouching that the purchaser is of good character.

I mean, why not. References are often part of background check, and in a way employment applications.

And if you seriously can't find several people who would vouch for you, maybe society doesn't need you having a gun.
