Are semi-automatics really used for hunting?

90. Silly tantrums is what will result in no answers.

You know nothing about what I want, and /or believe are even possible constitutionally without a constitutional amendment. I have posted my beliefs about private sales here. To say, "Private gun sales are not subject to background checks because gun companies profit from Selling guns to criminals.", doesn't even make sense. Private sales are always and only used gun sales. How do the gun companies benefit from people selling their used guns to other private citizens of the sellers home state? They don't, therefore why would they care?

Even 70% of NRA members want that changed, but you are to the right of them. The NRA restricts the enforcement of law, prohibits tracking of guns, and restricts the first amendment.

It can be changed, and I have often stated I would support a change. It must be done constitutionally and the "commerce clause" has always been what has kept the issue from making it out of committee to the floor even when the committee is chaired by Democrats. The first step is enabling a process for background checks on private sales. No such process currently exists. Most states, especially in the current financial climate, will be willing to fund a background check system in their state for private sales. They can do that now, and only a couple fund it. The system is in place, NICS, just access to the system is flawed.

You stated in post #79 "Gun research has been illegal in this nation for decades.", I simply pointed out that this statement is patently false.

No, what is going to keep solutions from being reached is people in real life hitting the ignore button rather than reasoned discussion, and presentation of outright lies and misinformation as truth, and proposals of complete and total disregard for constitutional possibility...there is common ground, it isn't going to come without respectful dialog.
