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.

This really shouldn’t even be an issue.
In the cases of defending our liberties, we (and the Congress for that matter) should be protecting our rights like a junkyard dog.
Evil and vile as they are, look at how the abortion girls go absolutely postal by even mentioning the word ‘restriction’.
Notice we still kill the unborn at the rate of 3000/day.
Allowing this to fester will only work against us.
The same principle applies to a Constitutionally compliant and Second Amendment Red Flag Law that applies to a "White Lie". A "White Lie" is still a lie and a Red Flag Law is still a Red Flag Law.
Our side needs to NEVER waiver even one bit.
Not here-the only selling entity that is required to have vehicles inspected or have license tags are car lots-an individual isn’t required to have any of that stuff to sell a vehicle to anyone who pays the price of the vehicle.-it is a totally private sale-the buyer is responsible for getting the registration, inspection, etc. And that is just how guns need to stay, too when it is a private transaction, no big brother wanted/needed thank you...
Maybe that is the way it is everywhere.
I just assumed one had to have it registered, etc.
And we know what happens when one assumes :)
Bad guys complying in 3, 2, ..........
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.
Seems like the spirit of liberty and freedom has left America and found a home in Hong Kong where there is a courageous and determined population intent on not being ruled by tyrants.
lol
They do?
How are they going to go back in history?
That is the very meaning of the “universal” system — that all sales are covered by one background check.
Uh, I don't think that's what the people pushing UBCs are advocating.
They think it means a background check is performed regardless of where the transaction takes place.
AWR Hawkings means well but his logic is a little dodgy.
2021 under Dem House, Dem Senate and Dem President (God forbid)——
Commissar, how do we know where to find the deplorables and their soon to be confiscated firearms?
Lackey: No problem your excellency. All their names, backgrounds, medical data, information for blackmail, and home addresses are in our registry.
Commissar: Let the gun grabbing begin tonight.
Already have the NFRTR administrated by ATF...

Bastards want your guns.
They cannot get you on their plantation with guns.
Nothing has changed
“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.”
If our President thinks that pleasing the enemy would gain a re-election, he would be wrong. Us patriots would be the loosers, not just our President. It is time to have intervention from on High.
Elizabeth Warren proposes a Federal Nationwide Gun License and annual registration fee as applied in State car ownership
“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.”
Yeh, sure. I can play your comicbook game too: Once confiscation begins, most nazi gun-grabbers will be dead and the remainder too intimidated to continue.
President Trump supports the Manchin-Toomey bill. That bill would expand background checks to gun shows and internet but NOT private sales and provides an exclusion on family transactions and loans.
The rest of the dems want to make background checks even on private sales.
Listen carefully to the President, because he says he will go along with Mitch McConnell, and the Turtle says he supports Manchin-Toomey. I don’t think the President will go for the dem counter bill.
Whoops, forgot the link:
