I don't want you to go back to Facebook blueberry; I like your feisty and intolerant posts and agree with some of your points.
But, I don't support a national gun registry or bans on gun types myself. I just don't agree with F.U. that unless there's a national gun registry, tightening up and expanding measures designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands is nothing but pointless bullshit for "gun grabbers." Nor do I agree with Gunnar's insistence that the ATF is not qualified to continue reviewing and licensing firearms dealers.
There are posters here who have insisted during debate/discussion that they are rational and responsible gun owners or gun rights supporters who support universal background checks, support stricter enforcement of laws designed to keep guns out of the wrong hands as much as possible, support more focus on mental health in relation to gun violence, and support more research into smart gun technology to help prevent accidental shootings by children and shootings carried out with stolen guns. Those are all actions being undertaken within the new proposal.
YET, some of those same posters are now objecting to the proposal even though it gives them what they claim they want and doesn't infringe on Second Amendment rights, doesn't include banning any types of guns or ammo, doesn't negatively impact legal gun owners/purchasers/dealers in any way, and doesn't open a gate to any "slippery slope" towards a gun registry.
Go figure.
