All I am advocating is background checks for all types of purchases or

What do you propose doing with existing firearms?



I'd go with grandfathered from registration until sold or transferred.

That might be a half reasonable approach, and avoids creating a lot of
felons, but it leads to all kinds of sticky issues with proving that
a gun is legally grandfathered.


Just establish a date. Any sale or transfer after that date requires
registration.

I'm thinking more in terms of what happens if a person is accused of
having an unregistered gun. How do you prove that it was
grandfathered?
