Listening to the radio, today. Aparently,
"instant checks" or universal background
checks is another form of registration.
Since, it can be reasoned, that anyone
who applies to be checked must be a gun
owner of some form.

I don't think they have any substantive reason for opposing universal
background checks.

Registration is another matter. That doesn't do anything to keep guns
out of the hands of bad people. It's purely a form of intimidation
aimed at law-abiding gun owners, and as many have already pointed out,
is the classic first step toward confiscation. The NRA's opposition to
gun registration is sound and substantive.
