[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2081140, member: 18914"] abajaj11, Having chewed this one over and over, I think I agree with you. I would like to see the ability to easily use NICS for non-FFL sales IF desired and agreed to by the parties involved. However, there is no need and, I agree with you here, there is a very real danger in accepting a mandate for same. Governments, all governments, naturally try to expand their own powers whether in the name of "efficiency" or ideology, or a desire to "help" all the "average Joe's" out there. The logical move from a bureaucratic organization would be to get a baseline of all currently owned guns (registration) in order to carry out the requirements of a mandatory background check law. Now add to that the ideological desire of this administration to disarm Americans who aren't government agents in some capacity and you get a toxic mix -- toxic to the 2nd Amendment and to American basic liberties. I'll be composing some additional letters to my Federal and State elected representatives. I will also be writing to the RNC to remind them why I currently contribute and why I might stop in the future. While I am at it I will also fire one off to the NRA-ILA as well just to remind them too. [/QUOTE]
