I just am not going to get all fretful about gun registration because there are already Nics checks happening.
And I am 99.99% sure Trump will not sign anything making “universal” background checks mandatory. And if the two houses of Congress manage to claw themselves together to make some kind of bill that has universal background checks, the Dems will add s*** in it that Trump will never sign, and likely wouldn’t even pass the Senate.
So, I have enough going on in my own little life, and the regular news/crap, that I am not going to get exercised by speculation about what may - or more likely, may not - happen.
Just know that ‘ending the gun show loophole’ is the goal.
Once they get that...we have a de facto gun registration database.
Most gun sales don’t involve the NICS right now BTW.
Only the first time that gun is sold.
Guns are resold regularly and often. People trade, trade up, downsize, upsize. Gun collectors seldom use NICS.
Trump is on record many times advocating for ‘background checks’. Why would he say that if he thought we already had them?
Keep in mind the definition of “infringed” is known. In declining to sign any such bill, all Trump needs to say is that, “it infringes the Second Amendment rights of American citizens.”
