OK, this argument is going in circles. Gregg, you never answered as to the sensible registration process I proposed a few pages ago. Every gun sale, professional, and private is officially registered, checked, so on, so if that gun ends up in a crime, it can be traced back to the last guy who owned it, who would be held accountable unless he/she can produce a police report on the lost/stolen gun. It would, I think, help to keep guns out of criminals hands while protecting the seller. It wouldn't infringe on any one's right to buy, sell or own a gun. It would just keep the process in the open and legal and safe, for everyone. And of course this standard would be nationwide.
