Ducey gun safety bill clears committee without universal background checks

I've yet to see this 'universal background check 'defined. The people proposing it obviously never bought a weapon and filled out a form 4473. And as for the statement that 40% of gun sales are unregulated, where is the data to support that? Even if private sales comprise a small amount of total gun sales, how would enacting a law change that. The black market wouldn't suddenly cease to exist if such a law existed, criminals aren't going to suddenly become law abiding citizens.

The GAO conducted a series of offers to purchase weapons at the request of 3 senators who claimed as many as 15k unregulated sales were made each year. The GAO was turned down by sellers 100% of the time. Probably will never see the report hit the newspapers.
