(1,941 posts)Crime is at what, a forty year low? I support severe mandatory minimums for anyone that commits a crime while using a firearm. I support prosecuting those that lie on the 4473. But that's it.
Universal background checks are a non starter. Why? Because the controllers have zero interest in stopping at UBCs. Next we will need a national registry and a national FOID. From there they can build an ever growing complex regulatory scheme that slowly kills off our right to keep and bear arms. While periodically icing the cake with approved "gun rosters", cosmetic AWBs, magazine capacity restrictions, lengthy waiting periods, and whatever other balogna they manage to fry. Every where that has caved to UBCs, eventually goes down the drain - New York, New Jersey, Maryland, etc.
The #meltthemdown crowd means it. Our side needs to push for a piece by piece dismantling of gun control in an effort to make Bloomberg stay on defense.
