I was just talking about this. The biggest issue is not a single database as there are several on the federal level and then you have state and local databases. That doesn’t even account for medical or whatever else they are considering. Most police departments can run a simple background check in minutes. Why not allow a “buyer” to run a check on themselves, get a simple receipt saying he or she is “clean” and just list their name and age. Show the seller your recent background check receipt and make the deal. It’s too easy, but wouldn’t appease those wanting to develop a database of weapons tied to owners.
My recommendation is that if the gov’t is going to propose universal background checks for gun-owners, than it should also apply to anybody who votes, opens a bank account or receives government education or other financial assistance…see how the socialists would like that.
