The only reason it hasn't happened is the NRA will not allow it to happen.

A law without a means of enforcement is nothing more than a suggestion. politicat Dec 2012 #30
How about Paroles have to be regulated? Yavapai Dec 2012 #37
If you require all private transactions to have a background check and go through an FFL dealer RomneyLies Dec 2012 #41

All private gun transactions should require a background check. Lizzie Poppet Dec 2012 #5
The only answer is to require ALL transactions to go through an FFL dealer. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #6
Why would that be the "only" answer? Lizzie Poppet Dec 2012 #8
Anything can be claimed if a private citizen uses the internet to run the check. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #10
Perhaps if the transfer query were tied to a registration. Lizzie Poppet Dec 2012 #34
Conducted by who? The seller? You trust sellers?? Logical Dec 2012 #87
If the seller's not trustworthy... Lizzie Poppet Dec 2012 #94
If they do and it is discovered down the road RomneyLies Dec 2012 #101
I concur. Lizzie Poppet Dec 2012 #149
Well the seller has no incentive to do a background check. The FFL dealer does. Logical Dec 2012 #103
They do if you institute significant criminal penalties for not doing so... Lizzie Poppet Dec 2012 #148
Agreed. LP2K12 Dec 2012 #154

Every right in the BOR is a civil right. hack89 Dec 2012 #132
Only ONE right in the BOR has a restrictive clause RomneyLies Dec 2012 #134
Which does not mean what you want it to mean. hack89 Dec 2012 #135
It means what the SCOTUS says it means RomneyLies Dec 2012 #138
You keep believing that hack89 Dec 2012 #140

Yes RomneyLies Dec 2012 #145
are anti-depressants on your list as well? n/t Matt_R Dec 2012 #151
Can't they hold back federal funds for states that do not comply? Like they do for drinking age, etc Logical Dec 2012 #89
Why do you think Congressmen would ever consider such a thing? hack89 Dec 2012 #93
To fix the background check issue. This should not even make the NRA mad really. Logical Dec 2012 #104
Congressmen will not punish their own states. hack89 Dec 2012 #133
They do for other issues. Like alcohol. Logical Dec 2012 #136
Time will tell, I guess. nt hack89 Dec 2012 #137

The firefighter shooter should never have been released from prison slackmaster Dec 2012 #16
He was convicted of first degree manslaughter RomneyLies Dec 2012 #18
Yeah, he didn't really mean to kill his grandma when he beat her repeatedly with a hammer. slackmaster Dec 2012 #19

So rather than regulate semi auto weapons, just have mandatory life sentences for all crimes? Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #24
No, only for heinous crimes like beating one's grandmother to death with a hammer slackmaster Dec 2012 #39

I'm ignorant of the "gun show loophole"... We have gun shows here often... MrMickeysMom Dec 2012 #47
In most gun shows, there is no requirement for a background check prior to selling a gun. n/t RomneyLies Dec 2012 #55
not entirely accurate melm00se Dec 2012 #63
Which is why tons of "private owners" put their arsenals on display at gun shows RomneyLies Dec 2012 #66
How do they do this? MrMickeysMom Dec 2012 #88
PA is better regulated. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #92
"gun show loophole" is a misnomer. OneTenthofOnePercent Dec 2012 #57
so we are just supposed to believe what you type? weird, i found those words on the internets farminator3000 Dec 2012 #76
What I wrote were the federal requirements. OneTenthofOnePercent Dec 2012 #113
That's why the FOPA needs to be repealed, including the Hughes Amendment RomneyLies Dec 2012 #116
I don't mind the FOPA. I think a 100% background check would be good though. OneTenthofOnePercent Dec 2012 #121
Only way to let go of the Hughes amendment is to require federal registration. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #123
Your post contradicts your own OP. former9thward Dec 2012 #125

Depends on the state. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #130

Not suggesting anything, but see here: (you can sell them at garage sales) The Straight Story Dec 2012 #68
You appeared to be supporting it, and that shit needs to stop. bettyellen Dec 2012 #69

Now we are getting somewhere.... The Straight Story Dec 2012 #77
Just firearms. n/t RomneyLies Dec 2012 #81

Your "buddy" robs a liquor store, gets caught, gives you up, you go to jail. Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #105
Better yet, his buddy does not even HAVE to give him up. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #108
I guess his Man Card was re-issued. catbyte Dec 2012 #62

There is no "gunshow loophole"- it is a private sales loophole. We need to fix it. Cronkite Dec 2012 #98
That's the colloquial name given to the private transfer loophole. RomneyLies Dec 2012 #100
It is called a gun show loophole because all disqualified individuals know Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #109
And he left a note saying that he wanted to kill everyone in the neighborhood malaise Dec 2012 #118
