Well, as I said in the other thread, I'm all for closing both the Gunshow and the Private Sale loophole. I think both of those are perfectly sound, logical steps. The whole background check completion act also seems like a good idea. Though the concerns that many have, as illustrated by yellowoftops, are indeed valid and shouldn't just be brushed aside. We've seen lately just how little the government really cares about the rights of individuals when it comes to things like privacy (NSA) and jurisprudence (Civil Asset Forfeiture) among other issues. We have a right to be wary.
