Good.
Speaking as a gun owner, I fully support this.
Which begs the question… why didn’t **all** gun dealers run background checks on the people buying weapons from them before this?!
As a fun owner I fully support this a
The Republican wailing about ‘shalt not be infringed upon’ intensfies…
Lol all legit gun dealers do this
How about just all of them?
As a gun owner, I support this.
Good. More please.
> The National Rifle Association said in a statement that it is “already working to use all means available to stop this unlawful rule.”
This is a pretty good faith rule to make sure that people who are selling guns for profit are actually classified as dealers and the NRA can’t even get behind that… fuck ’em.
As a gun collector and 2A supporter, this is a good thing and I don’t feel infringed in the least.
This and the junk fees fights are easy wins for Biden and the kind of things independents and moderates will see as a return to common sense governance.
Long delays sounds like infringement. 🤔
Not near enough but a step in right direction
I see no issue with this. It will only affect those that are selling numerous firearms at numerous gun shows but claim to be “private” sellers.

That shouldn’t be a problem for anyone. In my state you can still just find someone on a Craigslist-like website and meet them the same day time to buy basically any gun you want with no requirements for backgrounds checks or even receipts.
And somehow, this will be incredibly controversial
Good.
Very very pro 2A but background checks and storage laws (with kids) are a MUST.
Right wing gun owners have been given a chance at being part of a solution for years, and they still flat out refuse.
Glad we are moving forward with new laws, without their input … they had their chance
it sucks now that anytime the government does anything good it’s 1) almost always the democrats making it happen and 2) they never get credit for it and it doesn’t help them in elections
Background checks are enormously popular. Even Fox News viewers overwhelmingly support background checks.
Go ahead, enjoy upvoting this:

Anyone that doesn’t support this type of legislation probably needs a background check.
This is basically communism.

Haha this is ridiculous. Background checks are already required and this literally is just saying “yep, we’re doing the same thing that we’ve been doing for a long time.”
And watch right wingers through a fit over this. When it comes to everyone like the poor and minorities, racially profile them. That’s what they want. When regulation comes to them, they throw the biggest hissy fit in the word.
About time.
While I was growing up and in primary school, I remember doing lots of activities to find out what profession would be a good fit for me when I grew up. I seriously doubt a single child nation-wide received “unlicensed arms dealer” as a profession that they would excel at and should work hard in school to become. Do better, America.
Yeah, that’ll stop the criminals!
It will also help greatly with the mental health issues that most of these mass shooters never dealt with that lead them to a mass shooting.
Good call, champ.👍
I’m not against back ground checks by any means, but I think those in power are still ignoring the real issue that leads to mass shootings, poor mental health.
The comment about the 68,000 guns sold by unlicensed dealers is questionable. If these “dealers” are unlicensed, they leave no paperwork trail and no way to know about those “68,000 guns”. The logic (and truth) is missing. I am not in favor of rogue dealers , but I am in favor of telling a more accurate story.
This rule simply clarifies what it means to be “engaged in the business of selling guns” so that those unlicensed dealers posing as “private sellers” will face the same requirements as gun stores to check the backgrounds of would-be buyers.

Fully support this. Long overdue. Most gun owners agree with common sense reform.
Homeboys trying to create a registry
imagine looking at this headline and seeing it as an attack on freedom. the amount of gun violence in this country is fucking unreal
