the MSM is settling in on the Universal (permanent record) backgroun check as a compromise.
staw man sales are already illegal.
sales as shows require a background check.
this is about abolishing the 90 day destroy records rule.
Universal background checks have nothing to do with gun shows. Its about abolishing the private transfer of firearms between law abiding individuals.
A background check will also require a 4473 which creates a paper trail and increases cost.
