Universal backround checks

[Clint45]

If you have a valid CCW or are a LEO you should not be required to submit to a background check.

If you decide to swap shotguns with a coworker, outside of a FFL without a background check, you should not need to worry about a felony conviction, prison, loss of rights, loss of employment, and a $5000 fine in addition to related fees for that. Such penalties should only be applied to straw purchasers reselling to known criminals.

We can all eloquently wax on about how we'd like it to be in a perfect world, but with the democrats controlling current politics in CO, they have the votes to do most anything they want at the moment and don't seem to be wasting any time doing just that. If one of them proposed outright registration, I doubt any amount of calling/emailing/Etc. would keep them from getting the votes they needed to enact that as well. Kinda sorta sucks don't it?!

I've called/emailed at a minimum of five times per day for the past month. I've donated more than I comfortably could to NRA/ILA, result: all four of the current bills easily passed. Although I'll continue to put up the good struggle, my optimism meter isn't reading well.

I would find a UBGC law less objectionable if it followed Zundfolge's advice but I'd still be against it. I shouldn't have to conduct a BGC on someone I have known personally for years or to gift a firearm to a family member or friend (as long as I know or can reasonably conclude they aren't a "prohibited person"). One of my Scouts asked about this last night and I told him it's no skin off my nose because I can afford the fee and live in town but why should someone in the rural parts of CO have to drive 50+ miles and pay a fee in order to sell a rifle or shotgun to his neighbor or grandson?

Because its the LAW. And you want to be a Law Abiding Citizen, right ?

If they want to mandate universal background checks, they need to simplify it so you can just enter the purchaser's CO DL# into your smartphone and get an "accepted" or "declined" within 5 minutes.
