There is a diversity of opinion about gun policy on Daily Kos, and I respect the viewpoints of the spectrum of Kossacks on this issue. But I believe there is at least one area of gun policy where there is near universal agreement on, and that's universal background checks. Doing so would make 100% of all legal gun purchases subject to it, rather than 60% and would likely keep more people who cannot lawfully possess a gun under the 1968 Gun Control Act from being able to get a gun. By itself, universal background checks won't stop a determined person from illegally obtaining a gun however it will make it more difficult without placing an undue burden on law-abiding citizens and gun dealers who operate in good faith. I do believe that the RKBA(Right to Keep and Bear Arms) group would not take issue with more enforcement of current background checks laws either. When 92% of all Americans, 89% of Republicans and 85% of all NRA members support this policy, it is time for everyone to at least come together on this policy and get it done. I believe that everyone here on Daily Kos wants less gun deaths, whether they are RASA(Repeal or Amend the Second Amendment) or RKBA or somewhere in between. I am hopeful that as we come together in areas of common agreement, we can produce light from this and not the heat that comes with the Rox vs Sux fights or the I/P threads.
