Actually it's more like:
Gun control advocates ignore any logical and rational idea that would help prevent mass shootings because it doesn't involve banning firearms or taking away people's rights.

Pretty much, just with both sides calling each other immoral, underhanded murderers of various stripes. Personally I think we should throw in the towel and see about trying to do as much as we can with non-gun control methods.

Manchin-Toomey 2013.
A ban on a central gun registry, including up to 15 years in prison for anyone attempting to centralise gun records. Expansion on interstate sales to include hand guns via licensed sellers. Military members able to buy guns in their home state as well as the state they're stationed in Liability shield to private sellers who sell to a person who passed a background check. Increased funding for the NICS. A reduction in waiting times before a seller can complete a transfer in the event the check with NICS is taking time. A commission to study the causes of gun violence including mental health, guns, school safety and portrayals of violence in the media.
All to require background checks on all sales at gun shows and over the internet.
Seems like quite a compromise to me....
Not nearly enough for UBC's if you ask me, I don't really gain anything from that. FOPA already bans non-NFA registries and pretty much the only other decent thing in there that interests me is the bit about military members but given how few people that impacts I'm not gonna take that in exchange for everyone else having to deal with a ton more hassle.

Nah, we just need to be smarter about selling the guns.
That's all I want, to not give guns to crazy people.

I wouldn't really say that. While arming teachers and other things to that effect would work if teachers were good at shooting, even police officers have been found to have 25% accuracy in live fire situations. Giving teachers more guns doesn't solve anything.

I think a two party system is always likely to end up being garbage. Each has a monopoly on one side of the issue so the centre is not that rewarding. If a third party was possible, one that included the likes of McHaskill, Lamb and McCain, there'd be a party defending abortion rights but with term limits and gun access but with background checks and certain limits and the other two would have to sharpen up.

Given you count people who have other people cash their checks as crazy I don't think we should really take your advice on this topic.

It wasn't a bill mandating UBCs. Just checks at gun shows and on internet sales. Transfers between friends and family are unaffected. Sticking an advert on the notice board at work or church? Not affected. Selling to a guy you met in the pub? Not affected.

Define crazy people and how we stop selling guns to them. We already have a background check system in place, though it has some issues with proper data not being put into it and with law enforcement not using the tools at their disposal with regards to it. If you want universal back ground checks, make the system we have open to the public, work on making sure the proper data is reported, and have law enforcement use the tools at their disposal.

Most sales at a gun show already require a background check, as most gun show sellers are FFL's. Over the internet any sale that crosses state lines would immediately require a background check and have to go through an FFL.
