The only reason anti gunners want universal background checks is so they can then demand universal gun registration...which they need to ban and confiscate guns in the future when they get the power to ban and confiscate guns...

That is the only reason....


Now, the FBI comes out with information on mass shooters, and this information shows that universal background checks will not stop mass shooters...

FBI: FixNICS, Red Flag Laws Will Have Almost No Effect on Number of Mass Shootings - The Truth About Guns

Unfortunately for the anti-gunners’ long-game campaign aimed at restricting and eventually eliminating the right to keep and bear arms, the FBI’s latest study indicates that none of these steps will do anything to appreciably reduce the number of mass shootings in the US.

In a new report released Wednesday, the bureau shed light on behaviors of shooters before they acted out, finding most obtained a gun legally and did not have diagnosed mental health issues, points that run contrary to some popular beliefs.

Oops! By “most” the FBI means . . .

Forty percent of suspects purchased a firearm or multiple guns legally for the sole purpose of an attack. Another 35 percent already legally owned a gun before planning an attack, meaning 75 percent of active shooter incidents reviewed by the FBI legally owned the gun they used in the attack.

The remaining suspects stole, borrowed or purchased a weapon illegally.

That means mandating “universal background checks” and closing the so-called gun show loophole that our friends on the anti-gun left make sure to mention in every cable news sound bite would do virtually nothing to stop mass shootings.
