While universal background checks are pushed as a response to the El Paso and Dayton shooting attacks, it should be remembered that such checks are unenforceable without a gun registry. In other words, once such checks are in place, it is only a matter of time before lawmakers — in one party or the other — suggest a loose registration scheme. They will most likely do this in the days after the first mass public attack that occurs once universal background checks are the law of the land.
Think about it — universal background checks presume that the government knows about every gun sale, everywhere, at every time. That is the very meaning of the “universal” system — that all sales are covered by one background check.
The problem is that the government does not know where the vast majority of guns are at this very moment. Thus, as mass public attacks and/or high-profile shootings continue, they will claim we need a registry so the government knows where every gun is and can, therefore, know if any gun is changing hands without a background check.
We saw this scenario play out in California where universal background checks were adopted in the early 1990s. That state now has firearm registration requirements and a confiscation law as well. Moreover, California has a ten-day waiting period on gun purchases, a requirement that would-be gun buyers first get a gun safety certificate from the state, a one-handgun-a-month purchase limit, a minimum firearm purchase age of 21 years, a ban on campus carry, gun controls on ammunition sales, and more.
The lesson: It is all downhill once gun controllers secured universal background checks.

anyone think the fbi is deleting the background checks. According to the 2nd Amendment Foundation, there is no penalty for not following the law on this.
Hmm.
Good point.
Whether selling a used private car or selling it in a used car lot or selling a new car, all are required to have up to date registration and inspection, no exceptions.
That’s a bad sign for this whole gun background check thing.
***Unenforceable Without Gun Registry***
And that is the reason for background checks, so they can register the guns for future confiscation.
Even that rusted 66 GTO in a barn?
All guns manufactured in the future, will come with a wi-fi capable chip. All weapons will be instantly and continuously tracked. If a ‘chipped’ gun is purchased, and you are the purchaser, it means that YOU will also be tracked. But, no harm done, since, people have given up their right to not be tracked by owning cell-phones and computers and tablets and and wi-fi-equipped TVs and IoS devices.
Have gun, will travel. And tracked.
If a certain individual is seriously compelled to commit mass murder, he will find a way to do it. Guns are just a tool and a not particularly efficient tool of executing a mass casualty attack. There are much more destructive and lethal tools at the disposal of mass murderer than guns
We have also seen that a highly motivated mass murderer can can quickly run up body count similar to that from a semi automatic firearm with a knife, sword or other edged weapon. Such an attack with multiple deaths and serious injury occurred at the same General time as Dayton or El Paso but did not get the same dramatic coverage as the shootings
The real solution to the problem is to incarcerate or institutionalize a person who is a serious threat to execute a mass murder attack. If the situation is serious enough to warrant government mandated confiscation of firearms, it is serious enough to take the individual off the street and into custody until such time as it is determined that they pose no threat to the general public.
That is the only solution to stop the murders because being deprived of a gun forces a potential mass murderer to select a potentially far more lethal weapon than a firearm
The point of universal checks, is to implement universal registration.
The reason for registration has ALWAYS been to facilitate eventual confiscation.
Register Democrats, not Guns.
Oh wait, that’s how Hillary won the Popular Vote.
And that is the crux of the matter- ATF Form 4473 (since 1968) and the FBI’s NICBCS (since 1998). The DoJ and FBI can no longer be trusted after 8 years of Obama. Dollars to donuts the older 4473’s have already been digitized for future inclusion in the coming national firearm registry.
The first step in confiscation is identifying who has which firearms. The mistake many folks make is that this registry does not have to be 100%. Once confiscation begins, most will be too intimidated to react. Those Patriots who delay in reacting will see their ranks diminished.
The notion that LEO’s will be coming to your door is misguided. The Democrats will use the financial pressure of the IRS to intimidate most citizens. They will only do a house raid as a last resort or/and for propaganda purposes to further intimidate the sheeple.
The plan is a two-step move. Get the universal background check passed and into law, knowing that it will not work. Then, next time a Rat is elected, they will point to the failure of the existing universal background check law, and demand complete registration.
Oh gee, here’s a shock. Told my wife this yesterday.
Well, yeah, but then that is the whole point. They just won’t be honest about it.

What bull$hit.
NONE of these shootings in recent years have involved firearms that were purchased privately....NONE of them!
Mr. President, wake up!
And kindly stop using your daughter Ivanka as a go-between with Congress in regards to so-called “gun control.” It will put your re-election in danger.
She and your son-in-law need to return to New York.
Nobody else comes even close to the 262,000,000 people murdered by their own governments in the 20th century alone, and all of those democides were only possible because the governments had disarmed their citizens.
If they come to collect your guns you might as well turn them in bullets-first, because the cattlecars come next.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
In NY, maybe; in most of the country, there is no requirement for inspection/registration/insurance/anything if the vehicle is kept on private property.
>Note to self-order more 80% lowers.
And the jigs to mill them out if you don’t already have them. They’re next on the list, along with all the spare parts you need to complete them and any parts needed for repairs in the future. Not joking
And the ultimate goal of registration is confiscation.
“The reason for registration has ALWAYS been to facilitate eventual confiscation.”
If the men in this country ever have the balls to actually fight for their freedom, then it will be triggered by gun confiscation.
But it will occur only after American men have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the belief that fighting for their freedom is racist and white supremacist.
