Where are they getting this 85% figure of NRA members or 90% of Americans supporting them??

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.
My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
They're likely trying to convince members that everyone else is doing it....
I don't buy it for a second.

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

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.
Registration.....then......confiscation!
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.
