I agree with it needs to die as soon as possile. There is no reason to "compromise" yet again. I like the point made by maestro pistolero:

Quote:
There is not even a rational basis for those people to do a background check. If they are going to misuse a firearm, they can misuse the one they already have.
...except that I believe this reasoning applies to ALL gun owners, not just FOID/CCW permittee. If I have a gun now by whatever means, then what good will a background check do when I buy gun #2, #5, #10?

Since the law makes no sense, and will not prevent any crimes, then why "compromise" at all? It is just feel good, and at worst it gives a toehold for future changes in verbiage to make it much more invasive and "universal".
