For those that are on the fence about universal background checks and for those that think its "no big deal", here is a good article that explains what the anti's dont want you to know.
Think it'll be easy to get a background check for every transaction you make? Think again.
Just How 'Convenient' Would Mandatory Background Checks Be?
Whether or not you realize it, you probably live in walking distance from a Federal Firearms Licensee. A recent map of the U.S. by Mayors Against Illegal Guns shows just how much of the country — 98.4 percent — lives within 10 miles of an FFL, an agency capable of performing a background check.
Their argument is that it is not an inconvenience to mandate background checks for all gun transfers, including personal sales. We get it, we don’t want the wrong people to get a hold of guns, either. But what MAIG doesn’t get is that the FFL system isn’t tailored for this.
