Why are gun rights advocates concerned about the Universal Background Check rule?

Advocates fear that requiring registration of all gun sales is a precursor to confiscation. They also point to the logistical burdens, potential for warrantless ATF inspections of private homes, and severe penalties for non-compliance as major concerns.

Viewers are urged to submit comments to the ATF before the December 7th deadline. A direct link, gunowners.org/iv8888, is provided to make it easy for individuals to send their opposition to the agency.

What are the potential consequences for private gun sellers under the new rule?

If a private seller is deemed to have needed a dealer's license but didn't obtain one, they could face five years in jail and a $250,000 fine. They would also be subject to ATF inspections of their records and firearms.
