FWIW I wouldn't kick and scream over a UBC requirement so long as provisions could be made for gifting or loaning firearms. But... I see the law not serving the stated purpose of preventing prohibited persons from acquiring a firearm if this is the case. So I couldn't be for it for that reason, but I can't be for it if I have to take my child to an FFL to give them a gift. So I just can't be for it. Why don't people who commit murder go to prison for life, and convicted felons in possession of firearms for many years? Enforcing current laws with teeth would prevent a good bit of violence.
