The White House and Department of Justice (DOJ) have met with multiple Republican senators and congressmen to shop legislation on expanding background checks consistent with the Manchin-Toomey bill, sources familiar with the effort told the Daily Caller.
One source familiar with the meetings said that Barr pitched the legislation by warning that a lack of action could electrify the Democratic base prior to the 2020 election. Barr also did not consider the background check legislation a gun control measure, instead painting it as a tool to assist law enforcement in cracking down on gun smugglers, the source explained.

Key point. If family and friends are exempt, but you must get a UBC for everyone else, is that nothing more than universal registration? You cannot “forget” you gave your gun to family or a friend, so they will be able to know where the gun in question went. So every gun will have a known location…..No, just NO. Trump passes this and he will lose in 2020. Whats the difference? One branch goes slow, the other branch goes faster. Both ending up in the same place, a all powerful fedgov. Comrade Mao would approve. Just get on with the collapse, no slow walking to the same ending. I don’t want the grandsons having to clean this mess up.
Ol’ Pat Toomey ended up being a real POS, didn’t he?
