Hmm...

Gun advocates split with NRA on background checks

For example, the founder of the pro-gun Second Amendment Foundation tentatively backed a proposed compromise bill in Washington state last month that would expand checks while limiting state firearms record-keeping. 

In addition, the head of the nation’s largest police union, which was allied with the NRA in a major legislative battle in the past, has joined the movement for expanded background checks.

Finally, some sane people that recognize that federal law already prohibits a national registry so universal background checks will not lead immediately to an "in the bubble" Germany, 1933.

Of course that's not what was being said, here or elsewhere. But you don't listen, so you wouldn't know that.

And of course M doesn't understand that a state may exercise a general police power but the feds may not.

Or perhaps he does understand that and just doesn't fucking care - at least as long as the abuse is for something he supports. No doubt he would care greatly and talk up a storm if such a rationale were advanced against one of his policy preferences.
