As a law abiding citizen, I want to protect myself and my
family so I think having a rigorous Universal Background Check is one of the
best decisions that could be made by the Executive Branch of the U.S.
government. Most gun owners believe that enforcing a Universal Background Check
is a way of implementing gun registrations. Also, it has been said that gun
shows are the perfect place for gun buyers/owners with abominable backgrounds
and so I think all firearm dealers including gun shows should make the Universal
Background Check a requirement in every states. If gun owners/dealers are not
interested they should be held accountable for crimes committed using guns they
sold.
“Now, 40% of all gun sales are unregulated as they are made
online and at gun shows and deemed “private sales”. Seevakumaran obtained his
battlefield quality armaments for $700 (pounds 460) online, with no federal
scrutiny at all. “The lack of background checks on private sales is the single
biggest loophole in our gun laws, and I think people have finally started to
recognize that,” said Jon Vernick, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Centre for
gun policy and research”(Pilkington, 2013) .
