It's just a feel-good proposal so they look like they've "done something"

This is one more step toward a mandatory national gun registry. That is the real goal of “universal background checks.” The fact that 90% or more of incidents where someone FAILS a Form 4473 and there is
ZERO law enforcement follow up should tell you where the priorities are.
A recent example is that murderous psycho in Lewiston, Maine. He had failed a Form 4473 application shortly before his shooting spree because he admitted that he’d been involuntarily hospitalized for mental illness. Apparently law enforcement did nothing.
