The latest liberal code is to push for "universal background checks". I will set aside the fact that the whole idea of preventing criminals from buying guns, rather than preventing them from possessing guns, is a failed paradigm that should be abandoned.
Let us examine what is being proposed as "universal background checks". It sounds as if, when you want to sell a gun, you go to the internet, put in the person who wants to buy the gun's drivers license to see if they are on a prohibited list. If they are not, sell them the gun. Of course, there are all sorts of problems with this approach, foremost being who is allowed to access the list, and what information you are required to put in. How many Robert Smiths are there?
What the left is really proposing is universal gun registration, where anytime you transfer a gun to another person, you have to record the guns serial number, who you transfered it to, and this will have to be done through a licensed government agent.
It will accomplish nothing to reduce crime, as it never has, anywhere it has been tried. Canada just repealed their expensive failed long gun registry. What it does do is lead to confiscation of firearms over time. Not all at once, not right away. Simply keep narrowing the group of people that are allowed to own guns.
Narrow down the guns that are allowed. Make the storage requirements more expensive and onerous. That is the real motive here. Make it difficult to own guns. Make it difficult to sell guns. Gradually reduce the number of gun owners until they are politically insignificant. The left hates the American gun culture. They want to be sure that their political opposition is disarmed. That is the reason for ineffective and intrusive "universal background checks".
It sounds so much nicer than Universal Gun Registration.
Universal Background Checks is Code for Universal Registration
Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation

I CAN NOT BELIEVE SEEINDG THE FACES OF OUR PEOPLE IN OFFICE THAT ARE THERE TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS,ATTACKING THEM INSTEAD.THAT TO ME IS A DISGRACE.
Background checks are gun registration.
Universal background checks are just one SMALL step from confiscation and banning.
This poll doesn't require registration, and even though it is on a news page ADVOCATING more (useless) gun control the freedom lovers are trouncing them -- as your vote: http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2014/01/poll-on-gun-control-at-seattle-times-2-2870172.html
