Nonsense. That has nothing at all to do with "universal background check". Convicted
felons
*already* lose the right to possess firearms.

Proponents of gun control, such as yourself, insist that if we pass laws prohibiting the
possession of illegal guns, then nobody will have any illegal guns.

I'll believe that, as soon as you can show me that laws prohibiting the posssession of
illegal
drugs have ensured that nobody has any illegal drugs.

I would be willing to bet good money than most legal gun owners would
become illegal gun owners before they would surrender their guns.


Not taking that bet.
