...Probably the most misunderstood and dangerous proposal the president put forward was his call for “universal background checks” for all firearm transfers. This insidious proposal is fueled by a lie which claims that 40 percent of gun sales are between private individuals and don’t involve a background check. Should a father have to acquire a background check on his son before passing down Granddad’s shotgun? Should background checks be required before selling a gun to your best friend? The idea of “universal background checks” is to get every gun sale recorded so that a registration and tracking system can be more easily instituted later.

[[AMA’S DICTATES WILL COST LIVES]]
He doesn’t care- he didn’t even care abotu htel ives in benghazi- he certainyl isn’t goign to care abotu the lives of mere peons liek us

OBAMA’S DICTATES....
Isn’t one who rules by executive dictates.... a dictator ?
Absolutely. By internal identification I imagine you’re talking about embedded microchips, tattooed barcodes, or something similar.
Universal background checks are the raw material for a national data base that can lead to just what you suggest, and worse.
There is resistance to background checks for legal status on the part of the same people now demanding background checks for gun sales. Typical
Waiting for the results of Obama’s background check before he assumed control of the most lethal weapon in our world: The US Ballistic Missile Launch Codes.( Why doesn’t the NRA point this out?)
Still waiting.........not holding breath.....buying lots of guns and ammo.
