Except that 'gun rights people' aren't trying to take any thing away or limit the personal choices, of 'gun control people'.

Gun control people on the other hand, aren't remotely interested any doing anything that doesn't involve limiting pro-gun folks rights and choices.

We already have background checks at retail for every firearms purchase.

Having some respect for private property that doesn't belong to you, and offering something up that would make UBC a true compromise, might help.
