Not sure if we really need a background refresher on this. Current problems right now are legislators putting up gun control laws that don't actually attempt to fix the problem and other legislators screaming bloody murder over the ones that try to and want them thrown out entirely. On top of that the ATF is apparently massively understaffed, is without a department head for years now, and has their hands tied by the Tihart Amendment. No one has been able to explain to me how universal background checks lead to gun confiscation. And frankly, it's a logical fallacy (slippery slope) to say that they do.
