Pity it took another high-profile mass shooting to get that done. The universal should have always been in place, the gun show loophole was assinine.
I'm a supporter of the individual's right to own a firearm, always have been, but I never understood why the US has for so long allowed people to buy guns so freely. You can't do it here in Canada, you have to go through a series of checks and balances, it makes no sense why the US is so resistant to change. You can still own a gun, you just have to have the proper accreditation, the proper training for it, etc.
In other words you have to EARN the right to own one (or ten, or an arsenal).
