I think you are convincing me that the universal background check
idea
presented by the Democrats is
more and more an invasion of privacy, and a means to grow the
government (and liberal voting base).

I don't need to convince you. You were already convinced.


Not true. I initially was in favor of background checks, until I read
some of the paragraphs in the
Democrats proposal.

Also, the rationale 'Law abiding citizens have nothing to fear' causes
me to rethink the issue. That
phrase is simply used too often. I was surprised to see you fall back
on it.

My original post on this subject included a statement to the effect
of, "If a *clean* bill had been submitted, the vote would have been
different".
As usual, politicians (on both sides) screwed it all up.
