This guy has been a problem for a while. Just one example from the MSN free publicity piece for his garbage book:

“He told industry leaders that he backed legislation that would have strengthened background checks on private gun sales after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. It failed. Six years later, after another school shooting, this time at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, Sara’s (his wife) anger boiled over. She posted on Facebook that she hoped people would back their prayers for Florida with action: “The ONLY way this will EVER change is if the NRA goes up in FLAMES!””

The Big Lie that the Democrat and MSM machine has spread for decades now is that they want “universal background checks” on private sales. That’s scripted to sound kind of innocuous, but in reality, their solution is to simply ban private sales altogether, so they get their back-door gun registry. As with so many things, California lead the way with this: all sales have to be conducted through an FFL, who will have the buyer fill out a 4473, and run him through NICS. Voila! There’s the record they want.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. If you wanted to sell a gun to a friend, you could both go down to the local FFL (whom you both probably know well), and have a NICS check run. There’s no need to have the serial number, or even type of gun entered into the form, if all that is meant to do is make sure that a “prohibited person” isn’t buying your gun.

But that’s not what they’re really after.
