UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS = REGISTRATION = CONFISCATION = WAR

What part of this do they oot understand?

[umgud]

In California, all sales (save some curio long guns) require background checks and a 10 day waiting period. All handguns registered in this process. In Jan 2014, long guns will need to be registered. All so-called assault weapons already require registration and no new non-compliant models can be purchased.

CA has already had some limited confiscation after registration....... cetain non-compliant assault weapons.

If we get universal background checks, you can bet after the next mass shooting, they will demand registration.

[Jeff Chandler]

90 percent of those polled favored expanding background checks to people who buy weapons at gun shows.

Perhaps, but what difference does it make?

A background check is an infringement, as much as a license or permit requirement. What part of “shall not be infringed” confuses them?

[Red in Blue PA]

Show me even a single gun which has been used in a mass shooting purchased at a gun show.

They can go F themselves.

The only way to enforce universal background checks is through gun registration. I’m sure thats what Barry and company are aiming for. I cannot imagine it getting through Congress. If it did everyone would just ignore it anyway.

20,000 gun laws on the books already.

NO MORE LAWS OR REGULATIONS!

NONE!

Don’t give a G-D inch on anything!

[SampleMan]

Most people don’t even know what a gun show is, and have no idea what is meant by the phrase “gun show loophole”.

They think that dealers can sell at a gunshow without doing background checks, which is false.

Ask people if they think they should have to pay for a background check to sell a gun to a friend or relative, or to inherit one from their parent. THAT is the same thing as the “gun show loophole”.

[TBP]

One can only hope so.

[Polynikes]

For those that think the PTB will quietly observe privacy and not have access to lists and not share those lists. Behold the city of Los Angeles now has access to firearms purchasers lists and the DA sends out letters to recent purchasers in the form of a warning letter that smacks of blatant intimidation, ie: “We know who you are and what you did”

The background check issue, along with a desire to devote more resources to mental health issues, were the two ideas that had overwhelmingly large support in the polls.

This does not bode well for both houses of Congress. Presumably, deficiency in mental health would logically have repercussions well beyond gun ownership, or merely the Second Amendment...
