Pa New Background Check Requirements For: Fill & Download for Free

It is an utter pain in the ass to inspect for damages when a tenants belongings are already in the place.I personally never allow a “lease takeover” like this. Someone has to be accountable for damages your roommate hid behind her bookshelf.Customarily, a lease modification would be used, and that would require a background check on the new person, including credit check.The modification contract would be written such that the new tenant accepts liability for all damages cause the the departing tenant. Mostly tenants do not like to agree to this kind of deal, if they are the new tenant.Assuming that was the agreement, I’d accept the new half of the security deposit from the new tenant, and fully refund the security deposit for the old tenant.After the new tenant had paid.More likely, I would write the agreement such that the refund happens to the old tenant from the new tenant, and I’m not involved (other than providing the lease modification agreement, doing the background checks, etc.).In other words: exactly the case you claim.What does the lease modification that you, your roommate, and the new tenant all signed say?

What does “all gun control is racist” mean? It was printed on t-shirts worn at a political rally in Harrisburg, Pa.Gun control disproportionately affects the poor. Especially when you talk about certain gun control measures, like increasing mandatory background checks or instituting mandatory licensing schemes, which will increase the overall price of a gun, pricing the poor out of the market. Essentially, any gun control measure which requires new hoops through which a new owner must jump will increase the cost of a gun, which disproportionately impacts the poor, probably the demographic which is in the most need of guns for protection.In areas where the poor communities are largely one race, the argument is made that gun control is therefore racist because it affects one particular race more than others.

Re: “What are some reasons for opposing background checks for firearms? Does it go against the Second Amendment? Or is it simply inefficient?”Thanks for the A2A.The popular call for “more and better background checks” or “universal background checks” is a call for a solution without understanding the problem.The Problem with “More” or “Universal” Background Checks:Firearm purchases are being checked by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The FBI NICS has checked more than 305 million firearm purchasers for disqualifying factors in law enforcement databases with more than 1.9 million denials since its inception on 30 November 1998.“More” or “universal” background checks are directed at requiring FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background checks for firearm exchanges and purchases between private individuals who are not FFL dealers. This proposal includes exchanges between family members.Let’s review actual facts about mass shootings to see how many such incidents – if any – could have been prevented by “universal background checks”:18 May 2018, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, Santa Fe High School, Santa Fe, Texas: Stole his father’s Remington Model 870 shotgun and .38-caliber revolver — a crime. Both firearms were not properly secured from access by a minor — another crime. Pagourtzis was plunged into emotional crisis by the public rejection of his romantic advances by a classmate.14 February 2018, Nikolas Cruz, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Parkland, Florida: Killed 17 and injured 17 with an AR-15 pattern rifle purchased from a local gun store after passing the FBI NICS background check. In school, Nikolas Cruz was an ostracized loner who was frequently bullied. Cruz had been reported to the FBI and had multiple behavioral issues, threat, violent temper, treatment for depression, and repeated psychiatric intervention that should have been disqualifying factors but were never reported to the National Criminal Information Center (NCIC).23 January 2018, Gabriel Parker, Marshal County High School, Draffenville, Kentucky: Stole his stepfather’s Ruger 9mm handgun — a crime. The pistol was not properly secured from access by a minor — another crime. Parker described his shooting as “a science experiment.”5 November 2017, Devin Patrick Kelley, First Baptist Church, Sutherland Springs, Texas: Used an AR-556 rifle and two handguns legally purchased from gun shops in Colorado and Texas. Kelley falsified his applications by indicating that he had no disqualifying history. Kelley's applications were approved by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) because the US Air Force had failed to notify the NCIC that Kelley had been convicted in a general courts martial for domestic abuse and had received a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD).1 October 2017, Stephen Paddock, Las Vegas, San Diego: Firearms discovered in his hotel room had been legally purchased in Nevada, California, Texas, and Utah with successful background checks. Paddock provided no indication of intent or mental illness.12 June 2016, Omar Mateen, Orlando, Florida: Used a rifle and a handgun legally purchased with successful background check from a gun shop in Port St. Lucie. Mateen had a known history of violence and homophobia.2 December 2015, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, San Bernadino, California: Used 2 handguns legally purchased with successful NICS background checks and two rifles legally purchased with successful background check by Enrique Marquez Jr., a friend and former neighbor of Farook, and illegally provided to Farook and Malik strawman purchase). Farook and Malik were American terrorists radicalized by online jihadist propaganda. Marquez had helped Farook plan attacks that were not executed. Farook and Malik conducted a terrorist attack with an attempted bombing on the Inland Regional Center of San Bernadino, California, a non-profit organization benefiting people with developmental disabilities and their families.1 October 2015, Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer, Umpqua Community College, Roseburg, Oregon: Killed 9 people and wounded 8 using 5 handguns legally purchased after passing an FBI NICS background check. To do so, Harper-Mercer had to have lied on his NICS application to hide his history of mental illness. That is a federal crime. Had Harper-Mercer’s mental health history been reported to the NCIC, the NICS check would have rejected his application.14 December 2012, Adam Lanza, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticutt: Killed 28 and wounded 2 with an AR-15 pattern rifle and a Glock 20S handgun. The firearms were owned by his mother. Lanza murdered his mother before taking the firearms. Adam Lanza had access to the family’s firearm safe in which the weapons were normally secured. Because the firearms were owned by his mother and not him, Adam Lanza acquired his firearms by murder and theft.2 April 2012, One L. Goh, Oikos University, Oakland, California: Killed 7 and wounded 3 with a .45 caliber handgun legally purchased after passing a FBI NICS background check. Goh was deemed unfit to stand trial by two psychiatrists by reason of insanity, declaring that Goh had been a paranoid schizophrenic for at least the previous 15 years. Present federal law would deem Goh’s psychiatric diagnosis a disqualifying factor if reported to the NCIC.14 February 2008, Steven Kazmierczak, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois: Killed 5 and wounded 17 with a 12 gauge Remington Sportsman 48 shotgun, a Glock 19 handgun, a .380 ACP SIG Sauer P232 handgun, and a .380 ACP Hi-Point CF380 handgun purchased after passing a FBI NICS background check. To do so, Kazmierczak had to have lied on his NICS application to hide his history of mental illness. That is a federal crime. Had Kazmierczak’s mental illness history been reported to the NCIC, the FBI NICS would have rejected his purchase application.16 April 2007, Seung-Hui Cho, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia: Killed 32 and wounded 17 with a 9mm Glock 19 handgun and a Walther P22 handgun purchased after passing two FBI NICS background checks. Cho had been deemed mentally ill and in need of hospitalization, had been detained in the Carilion St. Albans Behavioral Health Center in Radford, Virginia, had been ruled an imminent danger to himself by a Virginia Special Justice, and had a standing court order to seek treatment for his mental illness as an outpatient. Cho did not comply with the court order and lied on his NICS applications to conceal his mental illness history. The Commonwealth of Virginia has also been criticized for failing to report Cho’s history of mental illness to the NCIC as a disqualifying factor.2 October 2006, Charles Carl Roberts IV, West Nickel Mines School, Nickel Mines, PA: Used a Ruger M77 .30-06 bolt action rifle, a Browning BPS 12-gauge pump action shotgun, and a Springfield XD 9mm handgun purchase after passing FBI NICS background checks to take 10 6- to 13-year old girls hostage in a one-room Amish school house. Roberts shot 8 of the girls, killing 5 and wounding 3 before committing suicide. Roberts had earlier “confessed” to molesting some family members years before — a claim that the purported victims denied ever happened. A note Roberts left to his wife described despondency over the death of one of their children 20 minutes after birth. This act was a murder-suicide in severe and undiagnosed depression.21 March 2005, Jeffrey James Weise, Red Lake Senior High School, Red Lake, Minnesota: Killed 9 and wounded 5 with a Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun, a Ruger MK II .22 caliber pistol, and a Glock 23 .40 caliber pistol. Weise stole the weapons from his paternal grandfather after murdering his grandfather and grandfather’s companion. Then Weise drove to the school in his grandfather’s police cruiser and killed a guard, two teachers, and three fellow students. Weise had a history of depression after his own father’s suicide, was on prozac, and had twice attempted suicide.5 March 2001, Charles Andrew Williams, Santana High School, Santee, California: Killed two and wounded 13 with an Arminius .22 caliber long-rifle double action revolver stolen from his father’s gun safe. Again, this is a case of a minor having unsupervised access to a firearm that is not properly secured. Williams was frequently bullied at school, had twice voiced plans for a “Columbine-style shoot-up,” and had sought help from the school counselor but was turned away because “the office was full.” No report was made by anyone of his expressed plans.20 April 1999, Eric David Harris and Dylan Bennet Klebold, Columbine High School, Columbine, Colorado: Killed 13 and wounded 24 with a Hi-Point 995 Carbine, a Savage 67H pump-action shotgun, an Intratec TEC-DC9, and a Stevens 311D double barreled sawed-off shotgun. These firearms were illegally acquired through strawman purchases that avoided FBI NICS checks. These strawman purchases resulted in federal charges of unlawful firearm sales for two individuals. Dr. Peter Langman diagnosed Eric Harris as “… a disturbed personality with prominent antisocial, narcissistic, and sadistic traits.” Columbine, Bullying, and the Mind of Eric Harris Dr. Langman diagnosed Dylan Klebold as having schizoptypal personality disorder. Murder Most FoolishOut of the above 16 recent mass shootings:The following people purchased firearms legally from gun shops after passing NICS background checks:Nikolas Cruz;Devin Patrick Kelley;Stephen Paddock;Christopher Sean Harper-Mercer;Omar Mateen;Steven Kazmierczak;Seung-Hui Cho;Charles Andrew Williams;One L. Goh;Charles Carl Roberts IV;Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik.The following people obtained their firearms criminally:Dimitrios Pagourtzis (theft);Gabriel Parker (theft);Adam Lanza (murder and theft);Jeffrey James Weise (murder and theft);Eric David Harris and Dylan Bennet Klebold (strawman purchases);Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik (strawman purchases).Out of the 16 most lethal recent mass shootings:10 involved firearms purchased legally from gun shops after passing NICS background checks;5 involved firearms acquired criminally;1 involved firearms both purchased legally from gun shops and acquired criminally.ConclusionOut of all 16 of the most lethal recent mass shootings, none involved firearms exchanged legally between private individuals. “More” or “universal” background checks would have done nothing to prevent any of these incidents. “Universal background checks” are a red herring for appealing to uninformed emotion.The Problem with “Better Background Checks”:A minimal meaningful background investigation exceeding FBI NICS checks requires investigating someone’s work behavior, social behavior, known associates, finances, participation on social media, character, and mental health. Such an investigation would be the equivalent of a Background Investigation Standard (BI Standard) for a Department of Defense (DoD) Secret security clearance. A Secret security clearance investigation takes six months to a year and costs $3,615 per investigation.https://nbib.opm.gov/hr-security-personnel/federal-investigations-notices/2016/fin-16-01.pdfThere were over 16.8 million firearm purchase applications in the US in 2012:http://www.businessinsider.com/number-of-guns-sold-in-us-each-year-2012-12Performing effective background investigations for all firearm applications would entail a whole new army of investigators, months for each investigation, and cost 60.7 billion dollars per year.What Would Make a Difference:One big problem with NICS is that people with known disqualifying factors for mental illness and domestic abuse are not being reported to the National Criminal Information Center (NCIC) from which NICS draws some of its information. As a direct result, people who should not be able to pass a NICS check have been allowed to legally purchase firearms with which they have committed mass murder.Why is this happening? Because national, state, county, and municipal legislators have failed to adequately fund the required resources and staff to perform this reporting as required by federal law.Gun background check system riddled with flawsSo what can be done?Contact your elected representatives and local officials and ask them what they are doing to fix this problem.So the question is not, “Why are more background checks opposed?” The correct question is, “Are there problems with the existing background check system that can be fixed?”
