So should the "private seller" loophole be closed? If so, how can it be enforced?

While criminal on criminal crime isn't as repugnant as bystander injuries the collateral damage is a problem desperately needing attention.

TRMS had stats that said between 2009/2010 twice as many pre-schoolers were shot than active duty police officers. That's just fucked up.

Private sales are NFG. Yes to NICS check for firearm transfers. Remmah2 Jan 2013 #2

So all gun owners must be licensed and can only sell to other licensees? flamin lib Jan 2013 #3

Enforcement would have to handled on a case by case basis. Remmah2 Jan 2013 #4

Sounds good. Register owners instead of guns. flamin lib Jan 2013 #5

Both sides are not responsible. The pro gun side is content to sit on the sidelines flamin lib Jan 2013 #7

as soon as we get the reasable pro control people gejohnston Jan 2013 #14

So, your answer is to let "them" take control of the issue. flamin lib Jan 2013 #15

It is how to do it gejohnston Jan 2013 #16

Well, to begin with those who know firearms and shooting should lead instead of waiting flamin lib Jan 2013 #17
