Great points! This is not about background checks, but rather a national registry, which we should resist at all costs. A disarmed nation is no longer free.
Did you know that a felon cannot be charged with the crime of possessing an unregistered firearm (in states where there is a registry).
Good points in this article. Most opposition to gun control follows typical paths - constitutionality, no new laws because we don’t enforce existing ones, etc. Nothing wrong with that.
But I wish we had some congressmen with gonads that would go on offense instead of defense. Where are the top 20 violent crime cities in the US and which party runs them? What is the marital status of most violent criminals and what type families do these criminals come from?
The liberals and their policies are responsible for a large percentage of violent crime in our society.
Bttt.
First, it is hardly "universal" criminals will continue to ignore it like they do existing background check laws, other firearms related laws, and oh yeah, laws in general.
Second, while it will only target law abiding citizens, it cannot possibly work without a national registry of all existing firearms. All firearms. How else could anyone possibly know who is supposed to have what (or not) and who may have transfered which firearm to whom.
Third, it is insanely intrusive. (at least the parts of a State proposal I've heard) You cannot "transfer" your firearms to someone for more than 72 hrs without a background check. Going on vacation for a week? Going to have the neighbor's kid watch your pets while you're gone? Don't think so. Your trusted friend going for a long weekend hunting with his son, wants to borrow one of your rifles for his son? Sorry, not without a background check. You going to deploy to the sandbox, leave your personal weapons with spouse? Nope, not without a background check. Meanwhile of course real criminals will continue to buy/sell/trade firearms like gifts at a white elephant party.
Universal background check? Stop lying you gun-grabbing wanna-be fascists.
That's something we need to realize. This started a long time before Obama. It's what allowed him into the position he's in, and it's why he's been able to step it up to the level he has. Any victory we have within our broken government, is just buying us a little more time in a losing battle.

Yeah, I love how when the Dems are talking about how hard it is to get new anti-rights legislation passed, they point to the failure of UBC, as if that would be expected to be far more palatable than an “assault weapon” ban. As in “See how intransigent those GOP NRA lackeys are? They won’t even go for background checks!” Idiots. In fact, background checks and the resulting registry are far more insidious than bans or restrictions on specific classes of weapons.
