From: Gun owners’ assessment of gun safety policy: their underlying principles and detailed opinions
Opinion | Agree (%) | 95% Confidence interval |
---|---|---|
I would only support a universal background check law if it included an exemption to allow the sale and transfer of guns to a family member without a background check | 21.1 | (18.0–24.5) |
I would only support a universal background check law that did NOT exempt sales to family members if private sellers were given privacy-protected access to the NICS database, whereby a green light or red light would appear to indicate whether the person is eligible | 17.0 | (14.3–20.0) |
I would only support a universal background check law if it provided a way to sell or transfer firearms to family members without having to go through a federally licensed dealer (FFL) | 25.0 | (21.8–28.6) |
I would only support a universal background check law if it did not result in the creation of a firearm registry (i.e., if a permanent record was kept of the name of the buyer and the type/model of guns purchased) | 21.5 | (18.5–24.9) |
I would only support a universal background check law if it required a timely response from the NICS check system, such as within 72 h | 25.7 | (22.5–29.1) |
