If there is no recordkeeping, then the universal background check just becomes an easily accessable database of forbidden possessors. WE could live with that, and might even turn it into a way of doing away with 4473 records and the NICS (National Instant Check System). My guess is that is what Coburn is willing to do. This sounds like a smart ploy on his part to kill the universal background check, because the Obama administration will never go for it.
“If they can’t be trusted to own and carry weapons, what are they doing running around loose?”
What are you doing with that old 18th and 19th and early 20th century thinking? The “progressive” knows that NO ONE excpt highly trained government agents are to be trusted with firearms.
A little study of North of the Border would be beneficial if they don'y really want to confiscate the guns.
Like the LAPD's (fortunately brief) War on Pickup Trucks.
The “gun show loophole” - isn’t. (Ever notice that “loopholes” only appear in laws that block the liberal agenda?) It was specifically added to the 1968 Gun Control Act as an escape value to prevent a national gun registration/confiscation list. That’s why the Democrats have, ever since, been trying to expand the check.
If all they are concerned with is your criminal/mental history, why do they want the serial number, caliber and type of firearm? (Schumer wants a 4473 for EVERY transaction.)
The elephant in the living room is that if every law-abiding citizen has to get government clearance before buying a firearm, what’s to prevent obama, et al from declaring a “National Emergency” (real or bogus) and shut down the background checks for “public safety”? Ergo, a total ban on gun transfers. Those naive people who believed the police would protect them and didn’t arm themselves will find out the penalty the hard way.
value = valve

I ran into him flying into Tulsa last Friday. Couldn’t even look at him and didn’t want to engage him as I’ve.done in the.past. The system us btoke
