I might be misunderstanding the meaning and intent of the poll.
We already have a MANDATORY universal background check for purchasing firearms. It goes through the FBI.
In which case, the poll makes 0 sense to me. And it seems a little biased with not exactly an exhaustive list of options for answers.
The UBC calls for a background check for ALL gun purchases, including private sales. Some people even want background checks if you loan a gun to a friend at a gun range.
^^^^ Correct.
Which would put an unnecessary and undue burden on Law Abiding gun owners. What needs to happen is for officials to
swiftly and severely prosecute and sentence violators...using the gun laws already in place.
And the Dims are admitting that the only way Universal Background Checks will work is if there is Uniform Firearms Registration.

Funny how they are already trying to expand on universal background checks to sneak in registration and it has not yet even passed.

ATF Referred about 13,000 Firearms Denials to Its Field Divisions for Investigation in Fiscal Year
2017, of Which USAOs Have Prosecuted 12 Cases.
Yep a whole twelve!
Might not hurt to tighten things up a little in this case.
Different than 'expanding' background checks....I understand. I am NOT for that, but it wouldn't hurt things to vigorously ENFORCE some of the gun laws we already have in place.
That is just unacceptable. Then the politicians say we need more laws that won't be enforced. Maybe less donuts and more enforcement work is in order.
The politicians want you to have no guns. How else are they going to run your life. They are just doing it by the inch. It is long past time to say no.

If the so called “loophole” is closed, the result will be that the likely minuscule number of criminals obtaining firearms at gun shows or from law abiding strangers would become even less. Criminals who are already selling firearms to other criminals are not going to start obeying another law.
It’s almost as if 40-50% of people have no ability to perform critical thinking anymore. Or are just too lazy and let politicians, the media, indoctrinators aka “educators” and activists do their thinking for them.
Just keep dolling out my free stuff and I’ll believe whatever you say.
People want to feel safe. Making all the big bad guns go away is an easy tonic for them.
Like turning the light in the closet on at night so your child will see their is no monster in there.
^^^^^
Or at least be able to see what KIND of Monster it is...........;)

I also voted 4. 3 and 4 seem like they could be listed together. Maybe the poll is attempting to drill down into the reasons people have. I agree with 3 and 4 equally though.

Ah, I just wanted to refute Beto Gonzales that no, Texans are not giving up a pin of a firearm.

Killeen, TX, eh? Isn't that very near where that muslim guy in a U.S. Army officer's uniform killed a bunch of unarmed military people in/on Ft. Hood a few years ago? I wonder if that fanatic had any kind of background check?
