The problem with the "Universal" or "Expanded" background checks is the other stuff that they were making them imply.
Specifically; They wanted Every gun transaction to involve a check. Sounds like a good idea right? SO how do you make that work? It means that "they" (the govt) have to know what you have and what the other guy has. Also doesn't sound like all that bad a deal either right? Well, if they know, they can come and take them, simple as that.
Most folks that subscribe to the Right to Bear Arms do not trust our govt. Neither did the founding fathers, otherwise they would not have put that stuff in the constitution.
New York by "Requireing" all owners of "Asault Weapons" to register them are turning otherwise law abiding citizens into Felons for simply not agreeing with and complying with new laws enacted simply as a political ploy to apease an ignorant electorate.
We have no national gun registration, nor should we. Some municiplaities are trying to create them and for a time they will have some success. Cooler wiser minds will prevail, lawyers will get some work and those laws will be struck down.
Not one of that whole bag of new laws will stop a single attack in the future and they would not have stopped any of the attacks in the recent months or last few years.
What we do need is a Crazy Motherfucker registry. Register and RFID tag the nuts and criminals.
Its simple and cheap to put up a RFID tag reader on schools, gun dealers, gun show doors etc.
With that the dealer or door security immediately know if a nut or felon are trying to come in. Neither one has any business at a gun show of the gun counter at Sears or Walmart.
A National Crazy Motherfucker Registry (NCMR) could quite easily be cross checked along with current Convicted Felon databases when you fill out the current background check paperwork to buy a weapon at any commercial interprise.
If a hit on the NCMR comes up, say that says your address is the same as some nut, then you are automatically issued the requisite warnings about your responsibilities to keep your weapons out of the hands of the nut along with a simple agreement form to sign on to indicate your understanding about the safe keeping of your weapons.
If this had been in place, Gabby Giffords wouldn't have a hole in her head and all those kids in conneticut would still be irritating their parents.
The People in Aurora would have seen the end of the movie. The Firemen in (Jersy?) wouldn't have gotten shot while putting out a fire.
All those GIs in Killeen wouldn't be dead.
Simple fix, doesn't put anything ownerous on law abiding citizens, will cost a lot less than the disasters do.
Win, Win.
The answer is Fix the Problem, not re-engineer our rights or society.
Stop the criminals and the nuts
I wouldn't feel the need to carry if there weren't a reason to.
