The most recent bill to close background check loopholes did speak to loaning a gun or transferring a gun within a family. There would not be a background check required in those circumstances.private sellers do not have to maintain recordsand then as soon as it's a private sale what happens?if the firearm was made in America
it has a tracking history
all the feds has to do is determine the maker
call them and give them the serial number
the maker then will tell them who they first sent it to
and from the dealers use a 4473 form

they have copies all the way to the last person
ask them or charge them with a crime
if they gave or sold the firearm to someone that should not have had it
So.....you simply arrest the criminal who has possession of the gun...or you arrest him when he uses the gun to commit a crime. A private seller is not a police officer...it is not his job or his duty to conduct a background check on a private sale.
Background checks for private sales are simply the excuse to get gun registration...since that is the only way to check to make sure a background check was done...
And it is also a lie.....the anti gun leadership has quietly changed terms.....you nutters think they want all gun "Sales" to undergo a background check.....the anti gun leadership wants all gun "Transfers" to under go a background check...big f*****g difference.
That would mean the end of private firearm instruction outside of a large corporate gun store...it would mean you could not loan a gun to a friend at a range, or to your wife if she is going out shopping...without a criminal background check....among other vile things that it does....and it turns normal, law abiding gun owners into felons and destroys their lives....
Which is the whole point to universal background checks.
I see no reason why a dangerous weapon like a gun should not be registered. You frequently point to the deadliness of autos. Well, they are registered and the users are also licensed as to knowledge of the laws and skill in using the auto. Why shouldn't guns be the same? Most guns already are registered, aren't they? Aren't most stolen guns able to be traced back to their last owner? Isn't that registration? If most already are, why shouldn't the rest be? Why are you so against that?
Sorry....that isn't true......you have to check these states that are passing these universal background checks...they are starting to include family transfers as well....
The reason that you can't register guns.....as opposed to autos....is that any registration list will later be used for banning guns and confiscating them......this has happened all over the world and gun registration always leads to bans, forced turn ins and confiscation....
Guns are a right, cars are not.
Would you support getting rid of the secret ballot for elections...so we know how people vote....or registering your electronic devises...I-pads, computers with the police to help monitor computer crimes? What about registering with the government before you post on the internet....you know...to help them stop crime?
Registering guns in the hope of finding out who the owner is is pointless.....if a gun is stolen....or sold to a criminal and reported stolen.....defeats the point of registering the gun....
The whole point to registration is to down the road...sometimes decades down the road like in Germany, to ban, confiscate or outlaw guns.
