Would Universal Background Checks be acceptable if no firearm information was required?

-but if there is a major, non-bargainable penalty for buying or selling a firearm without going through a BGC then it just might have an effect on crime...

They should try that with fentanyl, methamphetamine and crack...

When 60-80% of the country wants something, they don’t need to offer anything. They’ll wait until the situation is amiable, then they’ll take it.

If our answer continues to be do nothing, they’ll dismiss us and do what makes sense to them. Good, bad or indifferent.

It's always better to do nothing rather than something stupid and malicious.

They've already dismissed anyone who's not a fellow NPC. The feeling is purely mutual.

I completely understand this forum in general serves as an echo chamber for pro gun people to pat each other on the back for making the most pro gun statement, but that’s simply not how the majority of this country views the situation.

We can continue on with the same old “It ain’t the gun” cliches or we can address this head on.

Or we can continue to spew the same slippery slope logical fallacies and have the overwhelming percentage of voters disagree with most of what we say.

I mean, when most REPUBLICANS want changes to current laws, it’s a matter of inevitability.

Better surrender so that the other side doesn't have to work too hard.

NO, I REFUSE.

Exactly. I've yet to read what they are offering up for their part of the "compromise".

The same thing Juergen Stroop offered Mordecai Anilewicz...

We are ranting. If we don’t discuss the actual topic, we are closed.

To be blunt, just saying you refuse isn’t saying anything productive. You refuse what?

Not rolling over like a whipped dog with a weak bladder is the first productive thing you can do.

I'm seeing the same old defeatism and calls to assist in our own oppression. NO, I REFUSE.

Give me that old time rant and roll!

Ranting without productive contributions signals the moderation reflex.
