How can you be informed if you don't ask questions ?

It's not just about the 2A only. They are wanting to do away with freedom and all rights.There is no reason for the second amendment to give up anything. It helps nothing. The lies they tell about it being about saving lives is to get support for them to take the second amendment apart. The idea is to take our guns. Then they can do what ever they want.
All necessary and legal regulation of firearms has already been spelled out for us. It's even quite simple to understand.
Some members of Congress want to introduce legislation that will require universal background checks for all gun purchases. I do not know why gun owners are opposed to this idea.
I want to write a letter to one of our senators if he would introduce a bill saying that if people want to purchase firearms from a private seller the buyer needs to have a ltch. Since most private sellers won't sell a pistol without seeing a ltch, is it a bad idea if it became law applying to long gun and pistol private sales.
Any input is appreciated.

In my opinion you are pretty much out of your mind! First you don't know why gun owners are opposed to Universal Background checks! DUH First you couldn't give a gun to your brother or children without paying (today $25 - $30 ~ tomorrow $50 ~ $100? if REQUIRED) to run the gun through an FFL. Second a lot of guns are purchased without by persons that never "carry" for home defense. Many widows or single women and other homeowners want a weapon only for home defense. Third (AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE) ALL TRANSFERS THROUGH AN FFL ARE ENTERED INTO THEIR BOOKS. These books are ALL available to inspection by ATF AT ANY TIME. They must be retained FOREVER and TURNED in to the ATF when the dealer closes his business. If you are still not understanding - THIS MEANS ALL FIREARMS ARE NOW REGISTERED AND IF LIBERALS HAVE THEIR WAY WILL BE ON A LIST FOR CONFISCATION AS SOON AS THEY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT A LAW. I honestly cannot comprehend how anyone with even a little regard for the 2nd amendment could make the statement you did. I am disgusted.Some members of Congress want to introduce legislation that will require universal background checks for all gun purchases. I do not know why gun owners are opposed to this idea.

Any type of universal background check equates to registration, and is about the worst thing I can imagine for the survival of the 2A.
If a 4473 is required for every transfer, then the feds will next want to inspect your home to see if you actually have the weapons you bought to make sure you didn't sell them illegally (because of course, criminals won't submit to universal background checks!). We have already seen bill in CO proposing exactly that. And of course, they will eventually decide you don't "need" certain weapons, and come to confiscate them--at which time you can't say that you lost them or they will prosecute you for not reporting the weapon as stolen or lost...they know exactly which guns you own, and that equates to registration. Registration has always, always has led to confiscation.
That all fits my definition of tyranny. Just think it through man...

Mostly it's just that background checks don't work on criminals. So it's not really a practical way to reduce gun related crime.
Ignore everyone who jumps down your throat. You have to have a think skin on forums.

From my frequent contact with other gun owners, I think the silent majority tend to disagree with you.
Stating disgust or calling somebody un-American or whatever because they disagree with your opinions may not help support your position. In different terms I think it is better if the far right and the right and the middle don't split themselves up & make things easy for the left.
