Apparently there is already a system in place, The National Instant Criminal Background Check System. No new laws required. Is it fully operational and effective? I think it should be both.You said you would "like to take steps to prevent criminals from breaking the law and obtaining guns."exactly when did I ever say this?I am especially curious as to why you think a law can be enacted that will prevent people from breaking another law.
It's illegal for felons to buy, own or possess firearms. How do you prevent them from doing so, if not enact another law?
