Universal Background Checks

[hatidua]

Disclaimer: I am not stirring the pot, I'm legitimately asking a question...
How is (not defending this position at all, I'm against it for a variety of reasons) Universal background checks in any way a form of registration? I'm genuinely curious. I do a BGC every time I purchase a firearm from an FFL- cool, fine, all good. But somehow it's a form of registration when I would have to do a BGC with a private sale? If done via an FFL and the FFL was forced to keep the 4478 on file, in regards to privacy and current procedures, then it really would be more hassle for buyer/seller than anything else, right? Or am I wrong on this?

Form 4473 info is theoretically not kept in any database. Nor are there drones in the U.S., the Patriot Act never passed, the tooth fairy exists, as does Santa Clause & Heaven, the President adheres to the Constitution, and Social Security will be solvent when I am 65.

No need to be condescending- I was simply inquiring as to how a universal background check would be any different than our current setup with buying through FFLs? I have never bought a gun from a private party- so I guess yes, perhaps all of my firearms (with the exception of those handed down by family) are "registered"... No need for the Melvin-esque diatribe on how young people are naive.

Thank you Jackrabbit for not being condescending. What we need is more privacy laws that state they can't make a database out of 4473s. (my mistake on saying 4478.)

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.

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.

Just like the rest of the bullshit, they make it up.

its our right and not some privilege for the gov to decide.....there shouldnt be any backround checks period

[brutal]

At a minimum, CCW holders shouldn't have to go through a background check period. We've already tagged ourselves. Isn't this the case in some states?

did you know that 90% of statistics are made up on the spot, and 80% of the public believes them?
