Who is "they"? Who "are" they would be correct.Mixed up? You mean similar to your understanding of "opinion" and "fact"?
Oh! The NRA? Yes, that's who my post was about. Good guess.
Munch, here's what the NRA says: https://www.nraila.org/issues/background-checksnics/
The NRA is not opposed to "background checks" ... What the NRA does say is:
"Federal gun control laws are already strong enough
In addition to requiring firearm dealers, manufacturers, and importers to initiate a background check on any non-licensee to whom they intend to transfer a firearm, and prohibiting the possession of firearms by nine categories of prohibited persons,[29] federal law already prohibits things associated with what gun control supporters call “online” or “internet” firearm sales."
Individual states may have their own laws regarding buying or possessing a firearm.
One thing you might want to do is not get "open carry" mixed up with "background checks"!
What I mean by that is ... "concealed" vs "open" ... is one issue and
.. the scope and depth of the "background checks" are another separate issue. Originally Posted by LexusLover

It's fact the nra opposes background checks on private party sales (called universal by some). 40% of all gun sales if the 2 out of 5 number I've seen is correct
Yes a few states have that covered. About 20 out of 50.
40%
