Most dangerous gun law yet.

While universal background checks are pushed as a response to the El Paso and Dayton shooting attacks, it should be remembered that such checks are unenforceable without a gun registry.

In other words, once such checks are in place, it is only a matter of time before lawmakers — in one party or the other — suggest a loose registration scheme. They will most likely do this in the days after the first mass public attack that occurs once universal background checks are the law of the land.

I foresee a spike in parking lot sales in free states should universal background checks plus mandatory registration go. The UBC could survive on its own maybe in some states but add registry or psych evaluations later, that's too far of a push.

I think you are correct with the mandatory registration coming soon.

I just hope that Free America will challenge it (And win) unlike California.

Might actually be better if this happens outside the 9th. We might get a quicker favorable ruling from the SC.

I think Red Flag laws are far more dangerous. It can achieve a complete ban far quicker than any other method.

[Dan_Eastvale]

The unconstitutional UBCs would more or less be self enforceable as many sellers/buyers would be scared of a possible sting operation. At least those that have something to loose..
It's how most gun laws work.

Google already called in the SFPD for a mental health check against the Google whistleblower. Law only got approved on 1 July and the Left is already misusing the red flag law.

When the government knows who has the weapons, those weapons are far easier to be removed from the owners. Makes free-state parking lot sales look like a good idea.

...... it should be remembered that such checks are unenforceable without a gun registry..

Not true what needs to be done is just a query into the criminal/crazy(not available yet)/DV database. You don't show up you walk out with a gun. There is nothing that should require a listing of what gun it is.
Every 4473 (?) form you've filled out since 1968 is still on file. If the dealer is still in business he has it and the feds can see it anytime they want. If the dealer closed he sent the forms to the ATF and they have already scanned it into a database.

Maybe they should check into the Johns Hopkins/UC Davis study that determined , of all things, background checks don't reduce "gun violence" /crime?

nah, do it anyway. Who cares if it works? We have to look like we're doing "something".

[superdave50]

UBC's don't help much anyway. We've had this debate how many times already?

Psych evaluator to gun applicant: You want to own a gun? You must be crazy!

Our usual Russian propagandist troll Ja308 citing Brietbart as though this peddler of conspiracy theories and hate is a credible news source.

You entire premise is erroneous.

It is the person, the name, that goes into the registry. When they go to buy a firearm if that person has, recent domestic violence incident, been adjudicated mentally unfit, a convicted felon etc., they are denied the ability to purchase a firearm via the background check.

The reality is the majority of gun owners, again I said, gun owners, support universal background checks. Not our resident propagandist, maybe not even the majority of Calgunners. But the majority of gun owners and even NRA members have no problem with universal background checks.

To Splithoof's point, we all probably shouldn't really be on here right.

Why do you support something that has ZERO evidence that it will reduce gun violence? And recent studies show it DOES NOT reduce gun violence.
Do you run on emotions or facts?

Please link your evidence that Background checks will reduce gun violence in the USA....or stop spreading lies and trying to trample peoples' right to self-defense. How utterly shameful.

And that is a flat out lie. The NRA's membership (TAG) polling shows an overwhelming rejection of background checks. That's why the NRA conducts their own internal polling - because the mainstream media and leftist politicians constantly lie about what gun owners and NRA members want. Stop parroting leftist talking points. They're flat out lies.

You'll also find that the latest John's Hopkins/UC Davis research shows that background checks and violent offender laws have had zero impact on gun deaths.

Tee hee! It's cute you think there are two parties or a choice.
