The guy that wants to infrequently sell his old guns to buy a new gun or the guy that wants to sell a shotgun to his friend are excluded because it would be too much of a burden on them to go through all that trouble and the extra cost.
As i said earlier, guns acquired that way account for such a small portion of crimes that its not worth it.
So it seems it would be better if such transactions were controlled? Is that your point? I know gun stores sales are. What about the rest?
About 48 percent of state prison inmates surveyed said said they got the gun they used from a family member, friend, gun store, pawn shop, flea market, or gun show.
Its illegal to sell a gun to someone who you think cant own one.
