They have already stopped 2,500 people that had violent felonies from just going to a gun store and buying a gun. Added bonus is they also arrested lots of morons whom had warrants for their arrest and also applied for a gun permit.

Maybe you should watch that video again and do a little research on the topic?
"Well seems Colorado's universal background check that was put in place after the mass shooting there last year has been working."
The law you are speaking about was passed in the Senate on March 15th, 2013. Yet here you sit claiming that this law is working because it has already stopped 2,500 people from buying guns last year when the law didn't even exist.
From The Denver Post:
"The universal background checks measure now moves to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has indicated he will sign it into law. It would take affect July 1 (2013)."
In other words, not only did CO NOT put this law into effect LAST year as you've stated, but unless we skipped past April, May, & June.....The law isn't even in effect now. Not sure how that translates into "it's working."
So uh....I find this very easy to argue as your thread is really referring to the current laws that have been on the books for decades and clearly didn't stop these shootings from happening.
