I replied NO. We've had it in WA for 2 years...Not one trial or conviction either...total waste of time, only another tax and hindrance to good people.

The problem is making it actually work, and that's what's getting people tied up in knots about it.
Yet it didn't stop WA Leg from enacting yet another "FEEL GOOD/DO NOTHING" Law.
Not only no but hell no. The constant push from the left seems to cause people to weaken on this issue. The fact is these UBC's are the foot in the door. The end game is ALWAYS CONFISCATION.
See California.
We must continue to push this crap back.
I could get behind UBC's for all politicians! Otherwise, the gubernment can check my colon!
You wouldn't know other than "a" firearm was sold and the transaction was approved. That is the same as it is SUPPOSED to work now. You fill out a 4473 and you can buy as many guns on it as you like. Only one serial number has to be reported. More than a report of a fire arm sold, this would be a system of a seller and a buyer being matched and the ability of the buyer to own a gun.How would you verify if any particular firearm was sold with the background check then at some point in the future?

Being a 2nd Amendment supporter, you must realize that background checks are not in any part of our Constitution, period...why even ask the question?Before you read further know that I am a staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment and love my guns. I am just curious as to what others thought about this idea.
I had this thought the other day that maybe gun owners would be ok with universal background checks if there was no information collected about the firearm being purchased and I mean NO information even being written down. Just a check to ensure that the buyer is legal to purchase and all that jazz.
EDIT: I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have left in that 3rd option on the poll.
Seems like there is some contradiction here. If the serial numbers are reported than it means they would know how many firearms belong to any particular person. Also with a little effort the type of any firearm could be easily identified by the serial numbers as well. People oppose the BC for many different reasons. One of them is the data collection could lead to easy confiscation. Collecting the serial numbers is exactly the case here.You wouldn't know other than "a" firearm was sold and the transaction was approved. That is the same as it is SUPPOSED to work now.

All that gets saved is a transaction id, date, and yes or no. Even the transaction ID and the Y/N is enough.
