Background Checks Need Total Gun Registration to be Effective

The watered-down gun control bill introduced by Senator Feinstein now comes down to “universal background checks.”

Senator Reid puts the strategy this way: “I want to be clear: in order to be effective, any bill that passes the Senate must include background checks.”

But the Department of Justice indicates Reid’s strategy is flawed unless total gun registration is put into place.  In a white paper dated January 4 and obtained by NRA-ILA, the deputy director of the National Institute for Justice–DOJ’s research and evaluation agency–said that the proposals before Congress are unlikely to have an effect unless they are made even more draconian.  For instance, the document makes clear that the effectiveness of “universal” background checks “depends on … requiring gun registration.”

Any wonder why there’s so much opposition to seemingly good legislation?

The Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP) plans to invest more than $20 million to strengthen the firearm background check system by improving states’ abilities to share information with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) are providing funding for three grants to support state, territorial and tribal efforts to reduce information gaps and make instantly available to NICS all records prohibiting the purchase or possession of firearms.
