Universal Background Checks Will Lead to Gun Confiscations

About this video

Colion argues that universal background checks are a strategic step toward gun registration and eventual confiscation rather than a genuine crime-prevention measure. He uses an audio equipment purchase analogy to explain how universal background checks cannot be enforced without a national gun registry, which he describes as the real underlying goal. Colion contends that proponents of these measures play a long game, incrementally pursuing policies that he believes infringe on Second Amendment rights without addressing the illegal gun market or reducing violence.

Key takeaways

• Colion distinguishes between standard background checks (required for dealer purchases) and universal background checks (which would apply to all private transfers), arguing the latter cannot be enforced without a gun registry
• According to Colion, universal background checks would not reduce gun violence because most crime guns are obtained illegally outside the background check system
• Colion views universal background checks as a ‘Trojan horse’ policy designed to incrementally lead to gun registration and eventually confiscation, citing historical parallels
