Your opinion about a discussion I'm having on FB.

My opinion

Is the basis for how you should live your life.

I would be all for universal background checks

Do UBC's prevent YOU from going out and holding up a liquor store with a pistol? -they don't prevent anyone else from doing that either. Thugs aren't going to walk into Cabelas to buy a Glock, they'll buy it on the street whether we have background checks or not.

if they gave back all the other things they have taken away

They take, they don't give.

Private sales should have a check

The gun I bought in a private sale has not committed any crimes, neither have I. That gun would not be a safer tool had I filled out a 4473 for it.

Also I believe if you own a gun you should lock it up if you have children in the house.

Your children, your house, your rules. Don't force your ideas on others, there's already far too much of that going on.

If you don't have children they should be locked up when you are not at home.

You'd love California, they already have pretty much all the laws you want.

What are your opinions?

My opinions are just that: mine.
