[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 2062027, member: 3553"] [B]The Congress cannot make a law and then depend on the good will of the people to obey it, while denying the Executive branch the power to execute it effectively.[/B] For example, they cannot say[I] "pay taxes"[/I] and then hope everyone will pay them, while denying the IRS the ability to monitor who is paying taxes and who is not, and to punish people who are not paying taxes (breaking the law). If Congress passes a law that ALL gun sales must involve a background check, and the BATFE is the executive body in charge of managing the execution of this law then Congress cannot also say...[I]"oh, by the way you cannot monitor guns in the country and know who owns what. "[/I]. BATFE will say, rightfully [I]"then your law is unenforceable". [/I] Of course, no law is hundred percent followed, we know that.... but [B]the Executive branch's powers derive from needing to effectively implement the laws passed by Congress. At the very least this involves being able to monitor if the law is being followed and when it is being broken. [/B]So if Congress passes a new law, it needs to increase the powers of the Executive branch so that they can monitor if the law is being obeyed, and pursue punitive action if it is not. At present, NO guns are federally registered and BATFE has no idea who owns what (except for NFA class 3). In order to monitor if the universal BG check law is being implemented or not, they will need to know who owns what. Otherwise they simply cannot monitor it at all. An executive Order issued by POTUS to this effect will likely be upheld if the universal BG check law is passed. Of course they won't use the term "registration"...they will probably call it "federal firearms safety database" or some such crap. Hope this clarifies seriousness of the issue somewhat. If you are convinced this is a serious issue, please bring it up every time you see the work universal background checks mentioned in ANY forum or when talking to your reps / senators. The more people that know about this, the better. :) [/QUOTE]
