Not sure where you get the range of “70-90%” are in favor of “universal background checks”.
Does everyone understand that these checks are meant for private sales? So tell me, since the present FEDERALLY REQUIRED background check system conducted by the FBI, doesn’t work properly, why not fix that system before adding more checks to a system that already doesn’t work?
I suppose this is in line with the “we need more gun laws” mantra. How about first ENFORCING the current laws?
Frankly I am tired of the, if “you” don’t support new gun laws then “you” and the NRA are condoning gun violence. If that is “your” mantra, then “you” must also accept that “you” support fentanyl drug abuse, human trafficking, 32 people per day (per the
NHTSA) killed from drunk driving crashes, etc. if “you” aren’t supporting the enforcement of ALL current laws.
How about locking up criminals, support law enforcement, and work on HIPAA and how to address juvenile records in the CURRENT background check system? Will this stop ALL gun related shootings? Reality says no. Would it be is a start to reducing the occurrence? Yes and I would hope EVERYONE would agree at least on that.
