In an open letter published Monday<\/a>, CEOs for Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods, Levi Strauss & Co., TOMS and RXR Realty called on Congress to criminalize the private transfer of firearms.<\/p>\n

\u201cGun violence in America is not inevitable; it\u2019s preventable. There are steps Congress can, and must, take to prevent and reduce gun violence,\u201d said Dick\u2019s CEO Edward Stack, Levi CEO Chip Bergh, TOMS CEO Blake Mycoskie, and RXR Realty CEO Scott Rechler.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we urge the House of Representatives to stand with the American public and take action on gun safety by voting for H.R. 8, The Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, to require background checks on all gun sales,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n

With limited exceptions, H.R. 8 would make all sales and transfers \u2014 even temporary transfers \u2014 subject to a background check. Transfers where the recipient does not remain \u201cexclusively \u2026 in the presence of the transferor\u201d would be considered unlawful. Violators would face up to a year in prison and a fine of $1,000.<\/p>\n

John Feinblatt, the President of Everytown for Gun Safety, praised the businessmen for endorsing what gun-control advocates call \u201cuniversal background checks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s business leaders are raising their voices in support of common-sense solutions to the uniquely American problem of gun violence,\u201d said Feinblatt. \u201cWe are proud to stand with these courageous companies and the communities they serve in supporting the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, which will close the deadly loopholes in America’s background checks law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Trump Administration released a statement Monday<\/a> detailing its opposition to H.R. 8. In addition to noting that the legislation would \u201cimpose burdensome requirements on certain firearm transactions,\u201d the Executive Office of the President explained that H.R. 8 would also \u201cimpose permanent record-keeping requirements and limitless fees on these everyday transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO:\u00a0Korwin: Here\u2019s Why You Need Oppose Universal Background Checks<\/a><\/h2>\n

\u201cFor example, unless an exemption applies, both the act of leaving a weapon in the temporary care of a neighbor while traveling and the act of later retrieving that weapon would require processing by a licensed entity under H.R.8. Also, unless such an exemption applies, domestic violence victims would be prohibited from borrowing a firearm for selfdefense without first having the transaction go through such a licensed entity,\u201d said the White House.<\/p>\n

The efficacy of universal background checks as a means to reduce\u00a0gun violence is dubious, as the NRA-ILA recently pointed out<\/a>. To make its case the NRA-ILA quoted from articles published by Vox.com and The Trace (Emphasis added):<\/p>\n

Vox.com, which supports increased federal gun control, admitted in a Jan. 9 article that \u201ca growing body of research suggests that comprehensive background checks alone won\u2019t do much, if anything, to combat gun violence in America<\/strong>.\u201d The article went on to cite studies by well-established anti-gun researchers at institutions that in some cases have entire research departments devoted to producing empirical support for gun control, including U.C. Davis, Johns Hopkins, and U.C. Berkeley.<\/p>\n

Even Michael Bloomberg\u2019s own dedicated anti-gun propaganda outfit, The Trace, admitted on Jan. 10 that \u201cthe real-world evidence that [universal background checks] reduce crime is more complicated than the political momentum might suggest.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

While The Trace strained to portray the evidence as \u201ccomplicated\u201d and \u201call over the place,\u201d it nevertheless admitted, \u201cit\u2019s clear that in many cases the policy isn\u2019t working as hoped.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To pose the obvious question, what’s the point?\u00a0 Why should Congress pass a law that is sure to chill the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens while doing little to nothing to combat gun-related violence?\u00a0 Feel free to answer in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.R. 8 this week.<\/p>\n
