That being said – it must depend on which state you are in or whether your background check is done directly through NICS. In Colorado, the dealer is not charged for running the background check but it is done through CBI which then checks the NICS and their own state-level records. But – if the Dems in the Colo State house get their way, everyone will have to pay for the background checks in the near future – against Colo Revised Statutes.
And – there are numerous problems with Universal Background Checks – not just the big ones like registration, confiscation and eventual genocide, but logistical ones, too.

Section 922(b)(3) of title 18, which forbids federal firearms licensees from selling or delivering “any firearm to any person who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in . . . the State in which the licensee’s place of business is located,” cannot be interpreted to define “reside in . . . the State” differently for citizens and aliens.

Nonimmigrant Aliens and Firearms Disabilities Under the Gun Control Act
Date Posted – 12/08/11
The prohibition in 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(B) applies only to nonimmigrant aliens who must have visas to be admitted to the United States, not to all aliens with nonimmigrant status. The text of the statute forecloses the interpretation advanced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in an interim final rule applying section 922(g)(5)(B) to all nonimmigrant aliens.
CHECKING NAMES OF PROHIBITED PERSONS AGAINST RECORDS IN THE NICS AUDIT LOG CONCERNING ALLOWED TRANSFERS

Nonimmigrant aliens

No amount of new legislation will prevent people who are breaking the law from breaking more laws. Guys who sell guns from the trunks of their cars at schools or other places (already illegal) from continuing to do so. It will have no effect on preventing criminals from obtaining guns. All it will do is prevent law-abiding citizens from selling guns to people they know.

They won’t reduce crime, they won’t reduce the likelihood of mass-murders, they won’t do anything but make criminals out of law-abiding citizens.

Democrats know this. The gun-grabbers know this. The MSM know this.

It’s not about “gun-control,” it’s about people control. Liberals won’t to control the people and every law they propose is proposed with that single intent–to control

We’ve all seen the debate shifting these last few weeks once Washington came to the realization that there was not enough support to get a weapons ban law renewed or any new gun control measures passed.

” You have to be reasonable and accept SOME form of gun control. ” goes the propaganda now.

And the answer is… ” No…we don’t. ”

Now that the Washington has settled on the Universal Background Check as it’s end-game, the media has been pushing very hard to get people to accept that it is a ” compromise ” that America can live with and should accept.

The gun grabbers are preaching it from the rafters and many sensible people are actually starting to consider this insanity.

Universal Background Checks will NOT stop mass murders from happening. As much as Washington and the gun grabbers have been trying to steer this debate away from their original Battle Cry of : ” We have to save the children from these mass killings! ” and are now trying to make their debate focus on common crimes instead…they still cannot justify the creation of a Universal Background Check law.

A UBC law has one purpose and one purpose only. To generate revenue for Washington. How?..you may ask….simple. Every background check that gets done has a price tag attached to it that the government charges a fee for. Right now, only FFL Gun dealers are required to collect these fees from the people they sell guns to and pass the money on to Washington. A UBC law would require people who want to sell a gun privately to go to a retail outlet such as Walmart and pay them to run the UBC, This will generate $ billions in revenue for Washington. And that is disgusting.

Creating a law that requires EVERYONE to follow a procedure or they are acting illegally…then making them PAY the same people who created that law in order to stay legal is wrong. Ethically, legally and morally. Owning a gun is not a privilege. It’s a RIGHT. It’s not like driving a car or flying on a plane or getting internet service. All of THOSE things are privileges. Owning a gun is a RIGHT that is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. And in the 2nd Amendment, it specifically states that this right cannot be infringed. Requiring every American to have to get a background check, and pay for it too, or they can’t own a gun is a definite infringement on a gun ownership rights.

Also, we do NOT want to set the dangerous precedent of allowing Washington to start charging us for exercising any of our rights that we are BORN with in America. That’s right….the Bill of Rights in the Constitution contain 9 rights that all Americans are born with and 1 right that all states are guaranteed. To allow the government to get away with charging us a fee in order to exercise any of our rights is stupid and treasonous. 20 million+ American soldiers have died to prevent anything like that from happening in this country and to accept a UBC would basically be spitting on their graves.

Americans do NOT have to compromise on the gun control issue. We do NOT have to accept any new laws just to appease gun grabbers and Washington. THEY are the ones who have to accept that the 2nd Amendment cannot be infringed upon and a UBC does exactly that.

Gun ownership is not the problem in this country. No gun has ever, in the history of guns on this planet, ever killed mass numbers of people. Ever. The mentally ill people who lose their grip on reality and decide they need to commit murder are the causes of all mass murders that weren’t carried out by a government.

Plain and simple. If you want to stop mass killings, then you need to tackle the issue of the mentally ill. Gun owners are not the problem. The 2nd Amendment is not the problem.

And a Universal Background Check is NOT the answer.

Stop thinking and accepting that YOU have to compromise and support some form of Gun Control or you’re not a responsible American. That is just propaganda spewed by the gun grabbers to force you to comply with their unconstitutional agenda. Guilt is a powerful weapon but in this case, you have nothing to be guilty about. You didn’t do anything wrong so you don’t need to compromise with Gun Control Advocates. They are the ones with the personal issues against guns and they are the ones who will just have to live with it quietly and deal with it…quietly.
