Fact vs fiction on UBC

[Ryanxia]

A pretty decent article that juts popped up. A couple points I don't normally see mentioned in the usual argument against UBC.

All these denials mean delays for many law-abiding gun buyers. Although this is merely an inconvenience for most, initial denials cause dangerous delays for people who suddenly, legitimately need a gun for self-defense, such as a woman being stalked by an ex-boyfriend or spouse.

The fees in the Senate bill on those getting background checks on gun transfers are not trivial, ranging from $35 to $50 in most states and rising as high as $125 in the District of Columbia.

This effective tax will price poor blacks -- the people most likely to be victims of violent crime -- out of being able to buy a gun for self-defense

The people looking to pass new gun regulations don't care about saving lives or if it causes a hardship for law abiding citizens. They're only interested in pushing their world view on everyone else and leaving it behind as their "legacy."

Ego is what drives a politician.

Absolutely, but still good points. Especially to make to people on the fence or even anti-gunners, the more people OPPOSE the UBC the more likely the politicians will be to listen. Their top priority is getting reelected.
