100% CORRECT. Right to Bear Arms - is just one more right Liberals want to take away and I agree with you - things like this are step towards such.

However when I look long term - I see this happening anyways. I remember back in the early 2000's on TMF when my Convervative friends were shouting "My ideals!" "My principles!!!!" I had said - drop opposition to gay marriage, and come out FOR it. Because even the Bush Twins were for it -- point being, that's the future. Since then - in 2012 with a soft economy - the incumbent still won partially because young voters didn't want the 'anti gay' Republicans. Now - it's a done deal. Republicans lost political capital all those years, for nothing.

Back to guns.

The culture, sucks. Liberals - via music, tech, teardown of societal norms have led to a messed up society. People walk around on meds, angry, wagging their fingers and bobbing their heads, getting violent over the wrong fast food order, or because their bullcrap relationship soured, or their co-worker bothered them. Lack of parenting also leads to gun violence in schools. Point being - THIS generation is growing up with gun horror. And while there are pockets who want guns ( single young women)..... tomorrow's leaders- raised with gun fear and indoctrinated in college will in fact take the guns. A REAL gun grab, not a bumper sticker AM radio hypothetical gun grab.

So for me - I'm fine with Americans submitting to this check. A screwed in the head people deserve a bit of oversight.

And if it cuts down on 'breaking news' incidents - it might help preserve the right, versus take it away totally.

I'm not thrilled about it.

But I'm tired of being worried about being shot because America's traditional institutions and values - are gone.
