How many crime guns have actually been traced to a gun show?
You do understand a licensed dealer still needs to record "private"
sales I suppose.

Sure. In many states he "records" it in his little black book that is
subject to audit ... maybe. Wasn't that the case in the kid who used
his mother's gun to shoot up some kids at a school? The ATF hadn't
checked his books for years.

That is because none of the guns he handled were ever investigated in
a crime. That should be a good thing.
When they did go looking for one, the system worked. Isn't all you are
looking for?

It also doesn't stop a private or gun show dealer sale of a firearm to a
person legally prohibited from owning one. That was proven by the TV
investigation where they sent a guy to gun shows and he was able to buy
anything he wanted with no background check performed.

There is nothing to stop a person from selling a gun to a person who
shouldn't have one. It is already illegal and making it "more" illegal
is meaningless. If 10 years and $100k fine is not a deterrent, what do
you think your new law would impose that would do the trick? Death?

Did you read the wording on the Federal Transfer Form that John posted a
link to?

I am still scratching my head trying to figure out what good it does.
It basically says that you can sell or transfer a firearm to a convicted
felon or nut case as long as you didn't know he was a convicted felon or
nut case.
