In principle, our guaranteed right should make us more free. But in practice, we would be more free with a gun purchasing system like yours.

We cannot ship an 01 firearm to someone else. That is not free.
We cannot own nfa items without months of needless delay and huge tax. Free?
Many places we cannot go into a store and buy a handgun without a waiting period and approval. The wait is about 2 months here. Free? What rights are you guys talking about?
We need an "instant" check that is taking weeks to complete to buy a long gun. No 2A here.
I cannot buy a gun from out of state or do a local transfer because the ffls safes are full from delay and cannot hold any more.
Many places we cannot CC or OC.

All this guaranteed right and freedom stuff is too complicated to really work.
 
Don't Fix what isn't Broke

I was busted in 2005 on a domestic violence charge that was dropped and i was also charged with disorderly conduct a Minor misdemeanor and i get delayed and denied all the frigging time and no one has come knocking on the door yet . Keep in mind the DV charge was dropped i was never convicted of a crime of dv and yet i still have to go thru the bullsh of getting denied everytime i want to buy a gun and have to apeal and that can take up to 6 months by then if your lucky the next tranfer is just delayed for a couple of days before being approved . this is why background checks dont work because the info on the checks is never updated and is always wrong .... they would have never stoped Adam Lanza or any other criminal . and they stop a good bunch of law abiding citizens from being able to own a firearm
 
What is wrong with UBC's.

1) The law as written did not cover only UBC's. If a FFL Dealer accepted a forged identification card as proof for a gun sale he would commit a felony. I may or may not be able to detect a forged ID card.

2) It failed to address the Hippa laws that are used to prevent notification to the police of medical disqualifiers for the purchase/ownership of firearms.
ie. Loony tunes should not have firearms.

3) The current laws are not enforced. 76,000 attempts to purchase by "prohibited persons" and only 62 procecutions because "we don't go after guppies".

4) To our Canadian friend, yes it is true you do not register firearms; but why do you need to? You have all the firearms owners registered. Firearms a inanimate objects. All RCMP has do do is round up all the registered owners.

5) If you require all firearms transfers to be handled by a FFL dealer and then reduce the number of FFL dealers you have effectively stopped legal firearms trades. "We would not cut the number of FFL's!" Bill Clinton did, from over 100,000 in 1996 to roughly 55,000 today.

6) Always look beyond what is said. The liberals ususally say one thing and write a law to do another.
