[QUOTE="abajaj11, post: 2062769, member: 3553"] Suppose you had 5 guns that you have owned for several years. You decide to sell one to your friend. You do it without a background check. How will the Feds ever know you sold it and to whom, if they never even knew you owned it? [B]The Congress cannot make a law and then depend on the good will of the people to obey it,[/B] while denying the Executive branch the power to execute it effectively. The Executive branch's powers derive from needing to effectively implement the laws passed by Congress. At the very least this involves being [B]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, [B]they will need to know who owns what[/B]. 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. :) [/QUOTE]
