No! Bad guys will still get guns if they want them. It just punishes the good guys, and would be another step toward more anti gun BS.

I know I might get blasted for this but why would it be a bad thing to have a universal background check for firearm purchases? I know it would prevent some folks for bearing arms but in most cases weren't those people not suppose to have guns to begin with??? How many guns get sold at gun shows to felons i bet a lot.  :dunno:

Fundamental principle of Law...we are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. ANY BGC assume you are guilty until you prove you are innocent.

You are obviously not old enough to remember when the IRS could say you owed taxes you had not paid, and it was up to you to prove they were wrong.  It can, has been, and will be abused.

Universal? So now its the govs biz if I give or sell  a gun to a family member? What happens between 2 citizens in private is none of the govs biz. If they want to stop the killing of children they should be closing the doors of planned parenthood.

Somehow I doubt our founding fathers wanted us to bargain away any part of the 2nd Amendment. I had to vote NO.....

NO!  It is funny how two weeks after this gun bill failed in the U.S. senate, the far-left media is still bring up the so called facts that 30% are against the bill, 60% are for the bill, and 10% undecided.  The media is using the victims families and loved one as a prop to pass their agenda.  The agenda of these radicals, are to take guns away from law abiding citizens not criminals.  They will go as far as using Sandy Hook massacre and the victims as a crisis that they can not waist.  They know that this gun law will and will not change anything that happened in the massacre or any for that matter.  Obama and Biden have even said this.  As for back ground checks, I believe that they will progress into your very own family practitioner doing checks to see if you are mentally or physically stabale to own a firearm.  This is how they will take guns.  It will not be a bill or law that is passed overnight but a progressive bill like the back ground check will be.

our forefathers "just had muskets" but they had warships, cannons and trebuchets as well, too

weve lost enough already....

the constitution is easy to understand,

people=people.........arms=armaments or weapons

how can the stated enemy decide who bears arms?

shoot wasn't here to vote add one more to the not just no but hell to the no vote.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
