E.g. the assault weapons ban, and 1 gun/month restrictions are more burdensome than a gun show loophole bill, while restrictions on sales to persons adjudicated mentally incompetent are less burdensome?
Also, aren't the differences between instant check bills significant? The Lautenburg bill's definition of a gun show as a place where 50 or more weapons are displayed seems to sweep up a whole lot more private sales than what most people would think of as a "gun show."
The distinctions are material because they effect how to rate political candidates against each other. Most politicos do not support the repeal of all gun control: if that is what we demand, w/o exception, then it renders us politically impotent.

I would establish fiveperformance parameters for such a system.
1. Fast. Very fast.
2. Free (zero cost).
3. Fair, sure, and fastway to unpack a failed transfer.
4. Automaticcheck of transferred gun for stolen/crime involvement status.
5. Fast. Very fast.
I could live with that. Such a system would be beneficial to me and others, so I'm pretty sure I'd be in favor of it.
I disagree. Why should we be okay with such infringements on our rights? Thats the only way the antis will ever get their way if they baby step us and chip at our rights slowly saying this or that restriction really isn't that bad and we can live with it, but before we know it there are so many little restrions that add up to an enourmous infringement.
Therefore, I willstrongly oppose any and all infringements on my rights including this one!
