From bs polls
Even if the numbers are anywhere close, I suspect most sheeple don't realize what a universal background check really means and would be shocked if you told them they would have to run a background check to give their son/daughter/grandson/wife/whatever a firearm, and their heirs would lose all rights to the firearms upon their death.
One more reason to setup a trust.
I'm looking for a can anyway so that's my next call tomorrow.
They're likely trying to convince members that everyone else is doing it....
I don't buy it for a second.
Universal background checks sound great on paper. In reality its problematic at best. You would have to exempt family members who can legally own firearms. So If you wanted to give your kid a rifle for christmas you could. The same with inheriting firearms. Then how is a system going to be set up? In Colorado we are close with the only thing changing being private sales. How would they set up a system for a background check so people don't have to go through an FFL?
Then the elephant in the room. It does no good without registration and I'll be damned if thats anything I could support. You can ask for a transfer through an FFL now if you choose.
"Just like the 60% of gun sales are done public." Not threw an FFL. LOL what a joke that was!Quote:

NO!!! to universal background checks.
If I knew nothing on the in's and out's of this I would say that it sounds like a good idea as well.
Why do you always post threads without any links?
the only other thing I can think of with this is that most people go a background check with a gun dealer or at gun shows. Everyone gets up in arms about the gunshow loophole yet very few states actually have this and the ones that do are some of the safest.
