Universal Background Check

[WeaponsCollector]

It should be very clear that registration is the only thing that makes confiscation possible.

I would love it if NICS was available to regular people for FTF. I'd use it without a doubt to cover my ass and I bet a lot of other people would too. Unfortunately, what's in the cards is not that.

The other scary issue of a universal background check is that it means anyone can do a background check on you with just a few pieces of information. If this system were to be somehow implemented, the first thing I would try to do with it is run background checks on each of my elected officials, every boy that courts my daughter, every movie starlet I've ever had a crush on, and every person I meet, basically.

It's a privacy nightmare.

News flash : that is already here. Have credit card you can do basic CBC. Need more hire a PI and you are good to go.

Yes and since it has no other purpose should be DOA at the court, but .....

If you can not pass a universal background check you should not be respected as a law abiding citizen that can contribute anything of much significance. You should not be allowed a good paying job because you are probably not worthy. You should be on social welfare.

You know,if that's all it took be on social welfare we might get quite a few takers.. which may not be a good idea. Unless you like high taxes...

UBC is a farce. Its first goal will be to force all sales through FFLs. The second goal will be high transfer "fees", as in $100 and up. It's not going to be about lawful sales and transfers. It will be about erecting tall barriers one by one to prevent future gun sales. It's about targeting the law-abiding, who one way or another will be gradually turned into law breakers and disqualified due to no fault of their own. Current bills in various state legislatures make this plainly obvious.

Absolute ********. Just because I CAN pass a background check doesn't mean I should have to in order to exercise a natural right. The burden should be on the State to show that you are a prohibited person, not on you to show you're not.

All of the proposed anti-gun bills are BS. The politicians know that the proposed legislation will do nothing to stop or reduce gun violence. The legal gun owners are just a target group to be milked with fees to help support the politicans spending sprees. If they could determine a way to tax sex, we would be in a world of hurt.

All they want to do is stupid crap like this because they just want to make themsleves look good. Use MOM for example.....

Just think Obama has had NO background check and he has control of a nuclear arsenal. Makes me sleep quite well..............you?

Thats because he failed the governments e-verify. Then the SC fined the lady $10,000 for bringing it to court.

If we had a government that respected the 2A and just wanted to make sure criminals weren't buying firearms, I would be all for this. Since we don't.....

Yeah, when the start actually prosecuting people in violation of the current laws then maybe I'll give them 5 minutes of my time, but until then, they can simply piss off.

Background checks would go through FFLs. I think with NICS it's more of a go/no go thing, no details, so it wouldn't be too much of a privacy issue on that regard. It's a nightmare in other ways though.
