Ah. Got it.

By the way, I call BS on that 90% number. I suspect that 99% of the people who "support" it don't really have it properly explained. I never could figure out what it meant from the lamestream media - "required background checks when buying guns over the internet" is stupid as you can't buy them that way now.

And if you require private gun sellers to do background checks, well, I could run one on you, couldn't I? If I have to handle a 4473 from you then I have your SS#, etc. Plus if you then get turned down, then I know that you've probably been registered into a mental health facility or lied about an arrest. Heady stuff. I think most people would not be in favor of that.
