    Universal Background Checks, as recently proposed in the US Senate, would not mitigate crime

    The goal of universal background checks is, ostensibly, to prevent easy access of firearms by criminals through gun show, Internet, and private sale/lending transactions. To reach this goal, each of the transactions listed above would be subject to the current FBI background check system. I hold that this law, as written, would not contribute to an aggregate reduction in gun crime and would unreasonably scrutinize the law abiding citizens of the United States of America. Round 1 is to accept; 2,3,&4 for rebuttals and 5 will be closing arguments.
