I just asked Wayne a question that I'll repeat here. If those gun show
sellers were required to do a background check on the buyer, how many of
those sales would have happened? Executing the sale would also make
the seller criminally negligent, wouldn't it?
I ask again, if that is your goal, why not just open up the background
check to private citizens? Is that too easy?
I don't have a problem with that. It has to be a double edged though,
meaning someone who sells or transfers a gun to someone else without
doing the background check ... or transfers the gun even though the
background check found the buyer to be not eligible, the seller has some
culpability should the gun end up being used in a crime. It will
require a data base and registry of owners, something that few people
with guns are willing to accept.
