if you can create a background check system that does not violate rights, nor pave the way for confiscation, and doesn’t cost the users, then we can talk.
I call a toll free number and ask “Can so-and-so own a gun?” and get a yes/no answer. period. that should be all it takes.
The fallacy of the entire thing is that the bad guys will still get whatever they can afford with no problem so gun law number 20,001 will do what the other 20,000 do. Nothing. Waste of tax payers (makers) dollars.
nor pave the way for confiscation
You can't.
I call a toll free number and ask Can so-and-so own a gun? and get a yes/no answer. period. that should be all it takes.
And the guy on the other end asks WHICH so-and-so? The camle who lives in [any city] in the state of [any state, USA] or the one who lives in . . . rinse and repeat.
There's the rub. In order to know which camle you're asking about, you have to fill out the ATF 4473, which asks a slew of invasive questions, PLUS the make, model, caliber, SERIAL NUMBER, etc.
Those 4473 forms are supposed to stay with the dealer, but when he closes shop, they go to the ATF. Then we have "audits" of those shops where agents Xerox the forms. It goes on and on and on.
That's why the antis are in such a lather to get "universal" checks implemented.
