A reasonable response . . . the biggest problem I have with the universal background check thing is that, not only does it make a simple unauthorized transaction a criminal offense, but YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE YOUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS, POTENTIALLY FOREVER, AND RISK FEDERAL PRISON for noncompliance. If it was a simple misdemeanor, alright, but they wanted to tack on a federal prohibited person clause ("for only 2 years") in the small print. What they are NOT telling you is not only that a prohibited person cannot lawfully possess firearms or ammo, but misdemeanor offenses are typically sentenced to probation . . . and as a condition of probation, one must typically waive their 4th amendment right and consent to a warrantless search of their premises at the probation officer's whim. If you have failed to turn over or remove from your house EVERY firearm and EVERY round of ammunition, that is a federal felony and possession = automatic guilt = 2 years in prison, no parole, no pardon. This prohibition may effect the BUYER as well as the seller (unclear) and I expect armslist stings will become rampant with far more federal oversight and control over local law enforcement, along with substantial federal grants to finance this.
