Love to hear how do you stop a purchase from a private seller to another private seller? How would the government even know if such a transaction took place? Gun registration has already been deemed unconstitutional in some states.
Keep in mind, it's already illegal to sell a firearm to a felon, it's already illegal to commit a "straw" purchase.
The rules for guns are outdated. They were written in a different time. Guns have gotten out of control in the United states. There is absolutely no reason some American citizen needs a gun that can rattle off 100 rounds in seconds. Make them illegal and the penalty for possession of one extremely severe.
oh wait hunters need them! Get a new hobby if it takes 100 rounds to kill something.
the number of murders in the usa by guns is out of hand. The best way to reduce that is reduce the number of guns. The people are someone's son, daughter, mother or father.
i feel bad that kids need to an elementary school that have metal detectors to try to avoid someone with a gun coming to their school. What kind of country do we want?
lastly how can such a high percent of Americans want change yet our elected officials can't pass anything.
Answer just one question.....why is the number of murders higher in the United states than any other nation? If you don't come up with the answer guns in the United states then there is no help for you.
England and Canada for example had less than 600 murders. We have a problem
...I would say a direct correlation is the number of guns

I personally don't own a gun and never will.
I think we need to make changes so less people die in the usa. There is zero reason to own an automatic weapon that can shoot 100 rounds in seconds. Eliminating them would be a good starting point.
I believe the last 6 or 7 mass killings in the usa have used the same weapon.
Ban and it and make very strict laws if you are caught with one.
