Do you think anyone at anytime should be able to get a gun?

[/quote]

No.  We have laws to prevent felons and other from getting weapons.  
Do you believe there  are  no background checks in place already?[/quote]

Felon walks into a gun show. Should he be allowed to buy a gun without a background check? 
[/quote]

No.  But, if I wish to gift my firearm to my age-eligible son or daughter, I should not have to  conduct a background check.  [/quote]

So you're OK requiring background checks at gun shows then?

Another scenario - your neighbor wants to gift a firearm to his felon son. No background check for him? 
[/quote]

The neighbor would be knowingly breaking the law. 
And, if there were UBC laws in place, if the neighbor wanted to illegally  gift his son a firearm, do you think he would comply by having a background check completed?  
You  are not reasoning through this........[/quote]

So you are OK requiring background checks for gun shows?

How about online ads? Your neighbor places an ad online to sell his gun and unknowingly sells to a felon. You don't think he should do a background check on potential buyers?

As long as you can easily gift a gun to your daughter you are OK not requiring background checks for unlicensed sellers?

- A recent large-scale survey found that 45% of gun owners who acquired a gun online in the past two years did so without any background check.1
- Nearly one in nine prospective gun buyers on Armslist.com (a major web platform for gun classifieds) would not have passed a background check.2
- In 2018 alone, there were 1.2 million ads on Armslist.com for firearm sales where no background check was required.3

How many of those were felons, people with mental health issues, or people with a history of domestic abuse?

I've reasoned through it, weighed the pros/cons, and came to a different conclusion than you. I'm OK if people are inconvenienced if it means we can keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them.
