1. As the seller, I can simply call a 1-800 number and give them a DL# to get a verification. No need to give anyone my info, and no retention of the request by the 1-800 number.

2. If I see a valid LTC, then I don't legally need to make a call.

3. The call is free. And it is instantaneous. An online system may actually be better.

My problem with universal background checks is that I think it's more likely that we will see a requirement for all transfers to go through FFL's than something like I have outlined above.
You're correct. It will require going through an FFL and costing money. That's just icing on the cake for the Statists, as the real objective is to track and record all sales, transfers and possession of weapons.

"For the Children", of course.

For me, I don't want the Government to know anything more than what they already do, which is too much anyhow.

It's all about control.

Re: Looks like we will be getting universal background checks, no gun list etc.

On this go 'round, my concern is that they implement a California style universal background check for all sales, transfers, etc., which is something they've been wanting for a long, long time. It would result in a court action, I'm sure, but the make up of the Supreme Court is much less favorable than it was a year ago and could become much, much worse with an HRC Administration.

In the last twenty years, the more the Communists formerly known as Democrats have thumped the tub for gun control, the fewer of them there are holding office.

Doesn't that make you feel better?
It does, and I hope it holds true for HRC. Trump is no dream candidate for me, but he's not HRC, which in the end, means everything.

As you well know, it's not about preventing anything other than having citizens who have the capability to defend themselves. The desires outcome of the Progressives is to have a disarmed population that is completely reliant on the State for their needs.
