UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS = REGISTRATION = CONFISCATION = WAR
What part of this do they oot understand?
The polling companies did not inform the low information voter that a universal background check would have implement universal registration for it to be possible.
All sales have to be background checked already in PA. There is no registration and there has been no confiscation.
Federal law prohibits any registration.
If they want to change this law, then they will have a fight on their hands. But as the law is now, all records of background checks are purged.
Don’t they already do background checks before a purchase? Isn’t that what the call in for approval is?
I’m not sure what I’m missing. Is there some way around background checks?
Let me state up front that I am opposed to "universal background checks", because they will do zip to keep guns away from criminals.....BUT, it is POSSIBLE to have a check system that is "safe" from the gun owners standpoint....such a system would simply send the identifying personal info to the "check system".....and the query would be "is John Doe disqualfied from gun purchase?".
If there is no linkage with specific firearm identifying information, such an approach cannot be used to confiscate. After all, "John Doe" might have decided not to actually purchase after the background check.
And I'm sure we could start a trend where volunteers would go to gun stores and do "dummy purchases" (i.e. have a background check, but buy no gun). Heck, have each NRA member do it once a year.
