Private Sales May Be Next 2A Infringement

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Those damned legislators had better be paying attention to
their constituents, instead of some dumb ABC/WaPo poll. I
think quite a few of them are.

6.8, the legislators could give a large rats hinney about what their constituents want, we do not provide enough of the "mother's milk" of politics, MONEY to justify them taking notice or consideration of what "We" as the People might consider important.  When we start dropping $5,000.00 checks twice each election cycle then they will become aware, till that happens we are simply flies to be whisked away...

i think we already have registration. have a friend that bought a handgun 12-15 years ago filled out all the paperwork. kept the firearm about 2 years didnt really like it sold it face to face. about 8 years later it turned up in a shooting in florida. he was questioned extensively by an alphabet agency.

Not that hard to track someone down.  I am the original owner of about 1/3 of my firearms, so if I was to sell any of them and they were used later in a crime, investigators can simply get the shipment records from the manufacturer, visit the FFL who had it originally shipped and see who bought it.  For the other 2/3 of my firearms they'd have a hard time tracking me down if the person I bought it from didn't keep a record of it, which I suspect is the case with most folks I've bought from.  Sounds like basic police work to try to track down the history of a firearm used in a crime.  I'm sure those are dead ends much of the time, but they would be derelict not to try.

Yep, first owner is found via manufacturer -> distributor (if used) -> FFL. Has been thus since 1968 I reckon.
