Thats the thing, Background checks become "confiscation" after the paranoid get done spinning. And people eat it right up. Just because it wasn't a main campaign focus doesn't mean its not on people minds. You don't think people remember the after math of Sandy Hook? Sure background checks are sensible but ANY talk of banning "assault weapons" is an automatic no go for the majority. Sorry but that is the truth.
