It seems relevant to resurrect an old Goldwater quote: "Extremism in the defense of virtue is no vice." We need to envision rolling back or totally eliminating background checks. This is tough to do when a majority of the population has an unhealthy fear of guns or has been cowed into silence.
If we are a free people we should embrace freedom and personal responsibility. It is easy for criminals to steal guns or get them through their relatives. Background checks are not effective in keeping guns out of criminal hands. I think the remaining valid objection to rolling back background checks is worry over people in other categories such as the mentally disturbed, or the underage without any parental guidance. We probably know such people in our town or neighborhood. What do we do about them? The easy answer is pass a law. And when that doesn't work, pass another law. That is what we have been doing and it hasn't worked. Why do we think that this time will be different and it will work?

Lmao.
I have said on here before, that I would like a better means to verify eligibility of the purchaser to own a firearm that I'm selling to them. That said, I embrace the Senator Coburns proposition.
Of those of you who oppose this amendment, would you honestly not use such a system voluntarily if it was available. And if so why?

I may use it, but it won't be for it's intended purposes. Just because I don't have to.
Why do we need a new law to make the "Do Not Sell" list available to the public? Just do it.
If this is put in place like Coburn proposes, eventually it will become mandatory and lead to registration.
This is just a way to get more people to accept UBCs and then the next step will be much easier to impose.
Better means? In what way?

Tran, you need to learn how to discuss issues without hurling insults at anyone who happens to disagree with you. You do your own arguments a disservice by forgetting that.
