Then, IMHO when nothing changes, they can demand more gun control of a harsher nature. 'To "just save one life". Then we can work on reducing the Interstate speed limit to 5 mph "just to save one life".

My challenge is, can anyone demanding UBCs cite an example of a crime/mass shooting etc. in the last 10 years where they didn't already pass a NICS background check? Or where a BG check might have stopped the crime?
