Congressman Bob Good Believes Democrats’ Universal Gun Grab Could Effectively Create a System of Gun Registration

Democrats were able to score a small victory on March 11, 2021, after they passed H.R. 8, the 2021 iteration of a universal background check bill. Should this bill receive Joe Biden’s signature, it would mark the most significant piece of gun control legislation passed at the federal level since the Brady Act and the Assault Weapons Ban of the 1990s.

Virginia Congressman Bob Good warned that this bill would establish a “de facto gun registry” in America. H.R. 8 would expand point-of-sale background checks at stores and now include point-of-sale background checks for private firearms sales. 

Good believes that H.R.8’s expansive nature would have the government’s nose in all gun sales, which in effect creates, as AWR Hawkins of Breitbart News observed, “a paper trail that will serve as a registry.”
