Is this the same place that had the guy on the news saying he thought universal background checks are a good thing?
Yes. And I believe it was Mayday671 that espoused that very idea.
O Actually I didn't say that at all. I'm very up to date on the legislation that failed and never supported it. I actually have no problem stopping private gun sales to anyone your not related to. Everyone here has seen some weirdo purchasing a firearm with no background check at a gun show. Now we all know that it wouldn't stop all mass shootings or firearms crimes, but it may keep you from selling a firearm to someone with a criminal history or mental issue at a gun show. Thing is, a universal background check hurts no one, now the other bull**** in this bill does and that's why I stated I could not support any legislation without knowing every detail. I also mentioned the possibility of combining the NICS background with the national mental health registry. I am a staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment and will continue to resist any and all anti gun legislation. I also do not see any reason that there shouldn't be free background checks given at all gun shows. This way you can be sure any firearm your selling is being purchased by a lawful citizen. If you do not believe people attend gun shows on purpose to purchase a firearm who legally can not then you need to educate yourselves. For example, we have people coming into the store and attempting it, so why wouldn't they go to a gun show. To the OP, please educate yourself before spreading false statements. I wish the interview would have been edited better.
You obviously didn't listen to what I actually said. Also the interview was edited pourly. Do you really think everyone who buys a firearm from you is legally allowed to? Do you support selling your personal firearm to a convicted felon? I would love to know, I have never supported this legislation and never will. Now as for universal background checks, I do support them even though I know they will not keep everyone who wants a firearm illegally to get one. However it surely protects the seller and removes a small amount of ammunition from antigunners. I personally dislike the fact that anyone can legally sell a firearm to another individual without a background check. I have every firearm I have ever sold transferred through a dealer and always have. Part of owning a firearm is responsible care and safety, which I believe gets thrown out when you sell a firearm to someone who do not know. 1. That firearm can be traced to you. 2. You have no idea who your selling to or what the firearm will be used for. I could care less about profiting and would fully support free transfers if I was the business owner. If I was looking to profit, I would support the internet sales tax, which I strongly reject.
