NRA Opposes Universal Background Checks
January 29th, 2013 by flanewsThe Nation Rifle Association is opposing the President’s plan to require background checks on all gun buyers.
The NRA says universal background checks would clog the system and give the government information about who owns firearms. Former NRA President Marion Hammer says if lists of gun owners are made available to the government, history tells us, the fall of the Republic could follow.
“We have seen historically in other nations where when government finally finds out who has guns and where they are, they have the ability to take them,” said Hammer.
Hammer says requiring checks on every gun transfer could stop families from passing down antique gun heirlooms.
