"Guns don't kill people; people kill people."

24. Concerning UBCs...

I favor them, though I am doubtful as to their effectiveness. I also favor credible gun use instruction for those wishing to carry in public, and I do not favor open carry. But at this point, getting any regulation passed or in effect will be hugely difficult. The atmosphere around "gun control" is beyond poisonness as the "issue" has for some time been an intensifying culture war in which one side is following the Roman saying when destroying Carthage: No stone is to be left upon another.

You can guess which side is being demolished.

What can be done, imo, is to overhaul the antiquated NICS system, and perhaps some form of grants-in-aidnto the states which would ensure instantaneous transmission of a judge's order to NICS when a disqualifying ruling is made. Frankly, as has been suggested by those more technologically inclined, there is no reason why someone cannot be checked through NICS using a smart phone. This would make it easy for anyone, not just FFL licensees, to do a one-on-one BG check.
