[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 2080851, member: 3553"] There is a [B]Critical difference [/B]between [I]ALLOWING ANYONE to make a NICS check[/I], and [I]MANDATING THAT EVERYONE make a NICS check[/I]. [B]Allowing[/B] anyone to make a NICs check is a [B]good[/B] thing. [B]MANDATING[/B] that everyone make a NICS check is a [B]pathway to registration[/B], since the only way to monitor if this law is being followed would be to find out who owns what in advance. If a NICS check were mandated, POTUS and Mr. Holder will run with it and issue all sorts of executive orders and rulings that will result in de facto registration, in my opinion. We need to be careful, IMHO, to distinguish between ALLOWING anyone who wants to be able do a NICs check (GOOD), and MANDATING that ALL sales and transfers MUST go through a NICS check (BAD). [B]Of course I am against any expansion of NICs because it will eventually lead to mandating that everyone use it. [/B] But this seems to be a difference of which we should be aware. :) [/QUOTE]
