Anyone who thinks "universal" background checks will stop illegal firearms transfers - I invite you to consider a "universal prescription" law. Do you think requiring all drug transfers have a doctor's prescription would stop the illegal drug trade? No, of course not. Well, the belief that "universal background checks" will have any similar impact on illegal firearms is exactly the same kind of idiocy.
You raise an excellent point. Poisoning is actually the leading cause of injury death and kills far more children then firearms annually. What’s more, 9 out of 10 poisonings are a result of inhesting drugs and the most frequent culprit is opioid analgesics- mom’s percocets. Seems like if they were really interested in saving children, they would be cracking down on the pharmaceutical industry, not the gun industry.
Great example! You really have to look at the way liberals use words like “universal background checks” and “gun control” which imply that the government is all-powerful.
