What is the worry in this group with universal background checks for private sales?

12. I think it has more to do with the definition of transfer

technically, under Washington law, simply letting the person shoot it in your presence even for training classes would require a background check. That is why security companies went to court. If, say, Brinks were to follow the law, the armorer has to meet each of the drivers at a gun shop and each driver goes through the process at the beginning of each shift. Then afterwards, the armorer would go through background checks during end of shift turn in. If he is responsible for ten trucks, that's 20 background checks at the end of the day. Or, they can just ignore the law or just have crews take the issue guns home with them. Washington law requires companies and PDs to provide guns if they are a job requirement. The only reason the suit didn't go forward was because nobody has been arrested for it.

That doesn't mean I oppose UBCs, just not poorly written ones put together by Bloomberg employees.
