the NRA and republicans already hate her, I don't think she stands to loose much by taking a strong position.

[gtdragon980]

I don't get it, so gun rights activists don't want to be background checked before getting a gun? Or, is there something deeper in the agenda that is going to eliminate purchasing of firearms all together? I am pro-gun but I'm all for being background checked, I have nothing to hide.

some of the extreme opponents see it as a form of gun registration

More of a step in that direction.....and then on to the next step of confiscation, etc...

I'm pro-gun, but really don't see the harm in harder background checks, etc. I'm not going to fail one, so it doesn't affect me.

[gtdragon980]

I think background checks are fine, I don't really see the point in re-registering gun owners on a new list though, as most state police departments already have records of holders. Except for shotguns and rifles I assume.

:D A little tongue in cheek here, but the fact that our government has given itself carte blanche in regards to how we handle "terrorists" and now a potential presidential front runner is throwing out that term in regards to people who are against her agenda is in poor taste.

Here's a bit of reading for those of you curious why some of us are against the current scheme for universal background checks.

I'm not saying these articles are end all be all unbiased truth or that they even support my point of view, but they express the concerns. The details can, have been and will be debated until the end of time.

ITT parsedout cannot differentiate between "terrorize" and "terrorist."

[Farbin Kaiber]

^ITP, braveulysses cannot understand that one is a verb and the other is a noun that denotes the same concept.
