This is a nearly impossible topic to draw any conclusions from because there simply is no way to prove either side.

Gun bans just create a black market and those willing to break the law arent going to hesitate to break it again buy purchasing an illegal gun.

Mike has a great point about the guns being registered when they purchase it from an FFL.

I have no problems requiring all guns be transferred by an FFL and have the paper trail that make guns traceable to their current owner. The problem is, there are 500 million guns currently in circulation in this country and many millions of them are not currently owned by the original purchaser. That means there are over 500 million guns that would have to be exempted from this law.


Mike, you work or worked at AA right? How are the forms filed and how long does the store need to keep them?
