For Universal Checks to be anywhere near effective, the gun being transferred has to be recorded...You get three guesses where this leads, and the first two don't count.

| Sadly, this is what Washington has come to. Republicans blocked pretty much everything Obama tried to do after the Dems lost the House. And now the Dems are doing pretty much the same thing. I strongly suspect this will be the new normal.

The information age has been a bumpy ride for politics. It has given a huge voice to the more radical elements of the extreme right and extreme left; and their voices have become loudest within their parties. So, now we live in an age of childish idiots who are incapable of realizing, in a nation of 260 million people, there are those who may not share your same viewpoints. Back when we had adults in congress, there was debate on bills, the more extremist points were weeded out, and a compromise was made that each side could grudgingly live with. For the most part, that just isn't happening anymore. So the extremist idiots are managing to virtually shut down government (which isn't always a bad thing...but mostly is).

GunGeek, I would guess that you will consider me one of the rightist idiots, as I want NO COMPROMISE of any sort whatever of our LIBERTY & want EVERY hate-FILLED, arrogant leftist OUT of any "position of public trust" in the US government FOREVER. It is a well-established fact that "compromise" to a leftist radical (which is virtually the entire leadership of "the DIMocRATS Party") means MORE government intervention in citizen's daily lives, MORE very expensive but utterly worthless "give away programs" to those who are unwilling to work for their keep & the loss of more & more of our Natural Rights. (Certain of those RIGHTS are simply listed in the Bill of Rights, though they PRE-EXISTED the US Constitution.) just my OPINIONS, sw USA, Retired Last edited by stand watie; 05-10-2018 at 01:24 PM.

Tempers in government, even ours, are not even over time. I suspect that the "information age" , as you suggest, has also played a role .... as well as simply making us more aware of the problem. | |

They do the "Universal Check" on EVERYBODY when they get their driver's license. It is noted on your license if you are a US citizen, if you are eligible to vote and if you are eligible to buy a gun. Private purchases are required to check the driver's license of the buyer and only sell to them if they are eligible. This will be every bit as effective as anything else being proposed. If they are proposing something more controlling, then it's because they want more control. | |
