This is a significant turn-around from the last time we had exchanges in regards to Universal Background Checks and you argued they created too many "hoops" and "costs" for gun owners, even after I addressed those supposed "hoops" and "costs".
You said in your experience, they just wouldn't work. And then went on about them making it easier for big brother to disarm you.
I'm glad to see you've changed your position and now support background checks for private transactions (though family member transfers should not be exempt, for obvious common sense reasons).
Your reason for opposing safe storage laws then was "cost" and "hoops" to gun owners, and you suggested focusing on gun theft instead. Now your argument against safe storage mandates is "slippery slope". Maybe by the end of the year, you'll be on board with that one too.
