Universal Background Checks for firearms [View all]

Some of us are okay with UBCs with or without any further assurances but...

...would you find acceptable a law requiring UBCs provided a constitutional amendment barring confiscation without due process and appeal is part of the deal?

If you select pass, please explain or propose an alternative.

By all means, get off the couch and get started DonP Oct 2015 #5
It's the OP asking for a new Amendment. Suggest you take it up with him. stone space Oct 2015 #7
So, as usual, sit on your hands instead of standing up for what you believe in DonP Oct 2015 #8
He sure likes that public funding Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #21
The word you're searching for: "Indolent." nt Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #30
Indolent, lazy, cheap, ineffectual, they all work. n/t DonP Oct 2015 #43
You're the one who want's to repeal the 2A, GGJohn Oct 2015 #14
What fantasy land do you live where that is remotely possible? Lurks Often Oct 2015 #10

You're welcome and thanks for the thoughtful reply discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #9
No, because I don't think that structure would do any good petronius Oct 2015 #11
The criteria would be being found guilty of crime... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #15
I am against UBCs without real compromise. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #16
Sounds great but one question discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #17
"E" is just too inflamatory for gun control people. It makes them crazy. DonP Oct 2015 #19
Its because 'E' has three barrels... beevul Oct 2015 #26
Sounds like my experience with describing Chicago gun laws as Jim (large, raucous black bird). Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #32
Edited. See Don P's post for an explanation. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #47
good work n/t discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #50
Concur with petronius and kang colby, edgineered Oct 2015 #18
This is a reasonable proposal for this gun owner...Controllers? Not so much. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #27
Why? They make progress on gun control, specifically background checks Kang Colby Oct 2015 #48
