Facts tell us that criminalizing private transfers of firearms among family members and friends under a universal background check system would do nothing to prevent 'gun violence,' and importantly, would not have prevented the profound tragedies that gun banners use to promote such a system.
This quote challenges the effectiveness of universal background checks by emphasizing that criminalizing private transfers among trusted individuals does not address the root causes of gun violence. It highlights a perspective that such policies may be more about political posturing than real solutions, implying that the tragedies attributed to gun violence might not be mitigated by these measures. It encourages a deeper conversation about what policies genuinely enhance safety versus those that serve other agendas.
