fact, Obama's own Justice Department reported that a viable background check system for private sales "depends" on "requiring gun registration." You read that right. The whole scheme is a Trojan horse for mandatory gun registration. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the only way to fully enforce universal background checks is to force all law-abiding gun owners to document and register their firearms in a government database. Think about it. How else are they supposed to know when the background check requirement has been triggered, unless they can match every firearm to a documented gun owner. That's why Bloomberg and his billionaire buddies spent millions upon millions of dollars to pass Initiative 594 in the state of Washington last November. At its core, I-594 is nothing more Obama's backdoor gun registration scheme that NRA members like you fought so hard to defeat just two years ago in the U.S. Senate. It's also why Bloomberg announced a major offensive to pass this scheme state-by-state, with Nevada the next target, until universal background checks and mandatory gun registration become an inescapable reality for all Americans. It's a nightmare for every law-abiding gun owner and should serve as a wakeup call for every one of us to say "never in my state." As an NRA member, I know that you're well-informed and won't be duped. But gun owners who are not NRA members don't read our magazines, nor do they receive our legislative alerts and e-mails, leaving them vulnerable to falling for Bloomberg's and Obama's lies. You and I must expose the truth about universal background checks to every gun owner we know to make certain that a "lack of transparency" and "stupidity" don't end up costing us our freedom!
