I've seen people argue that Twitter has the right to control what happens on their website. I haven't seen anyone argue that the government should be able to punish you on here for expressing an opinion.

Honestly, the idea of background checks doesn't bother me that much on its own. I'm more concerned about where that may lead under extreme people like Beto O'Rourke. They want full registration and confiscation. I don't oppose UBC itself, I oppose it strategically.
I completely understand that. I know quite a few gun violence reduction advocates who were displeased when he did that because it hurt their years of assuring people that they didn’t want to take their guns.

Beto wants to Ban and remove AR15s and AK47s. These are not the only 2 guns that are made. So the "taking your guns away" arguement is silly.

They're two very common guns, and they're both very useful for defense. They're also not very commonly used in crimes compared to other weapons. I think the real reason they want to ban them is fear of rebellion, because they plan to do things people would rebel over.

One possible way to deal with this might be blockchain. A background check could be conducted without sending the buyer's data to the government or storing it.

That’s an interesting idea. Block chain certainly has a lot of potential.
