But if America wants to make a real dent in gun violence, it might want to consider another approach: requiring a license to buy and own a firearm. [More]
What can I say but "Vox"...?
What we can capitalize on is a growing number of grabbers admitting "universal background checks, at least on their own, don’t seem to have a big effect on gun deaths. Similarly, the research on assault weapons bans, including the national ban that Biden helped pass in 1994, found they have little effect on gun violence..." and throw that back in the faces of other grabbers still stumping for those.

I'm trying to imagine someone with bad intent, who would do whatever it took to acquire a firearm without a background check, actually applying for a license before doing so.
If you drew a Venn Diagram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venn_diagram) of two sets, one being the set of people who take and pass background checks, and the other being the set of people who would apply for and be granted a firearms license, you would find that the sets were nearly 100% comprised of the same people.
So what could the point of this pivot be? I believe it is an attempt to make an end run around the current 3 day limit on holding up a purchase while waiting for a completed background check. Yes some prohibited persons obtain firearms by squeezing through that window. But the number is statistically so near 0% that BATFE doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to rounding those firearms up.
This is another play for a victory, any victory, by the Left which like the 1994 AWB, hasn't a prayer of making a measurable dent in deaths by firearm in the USA. Instead it once again makes them look like the drunk searching in vain for his car keys under a bright streetlight instead of in the dark alley where he very well knows he dropped them.
Meanwhile, they ignore the ongoing specter of young black males killing other young black males in the core of Democrat controlled cities across the country.
Because fixing that would be too hard. What ever happened to the party of JFK?
“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”
I have a 21st Century challenge for today's Democrats.
