Not quite. The bill would have made it a felony for the DOJ to use the data to create a registry. There was no prohibition against other agencies creating a registry (DHS for example).

Just came across this to put all the delusional right winger in their place that are crying conspiracy on the massive support for universal background checks

VT massacre occurred 6 years prior 2 days ago. At such a time, you'd think pro gun folks would be more sympathetic.

For the love of God, you already do! I've bought several guns at shows and a background check was done on EVERY one of them.

If you're a criminal or crazy, it's illegal for you to own a gun to begin with--you don't have the constitutional right to own one. This is a ridiculous argument.

Where in the Constitution does the federal government get the power to interfere with the business transaction of two individuals? Please point out the Article and Section.

You'd think anti gun folks wouldn't be so stupid and try to pass knee-jerk, feel good legislation that will have no effect on curbing gun violence.

There should be no sympathy or emotion in lawmaking.
