[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2086561, member: 5391"] This UBC stuff is nothing but a red herring. They might be genuinely concerned about criminals, but what they are primarily concerned about is the fact that guns, when they are sold in a FTF or private transaction very often will disappear forever under the radar, and that is their main worry. I have seen transactions taking place at gunshows quite often where perfect strangers buy and sell guns with no paperwork, and for cash. When this happens, the gun, as far as the government is concerned, is gone forever. Tracking the gun becomes nearly impossible and that is what they are trying to stop, not necessarily sales to criminals. Concern about criminals buying them is simply an excuse. The real worry is guns that have disappeared and that they have no idea where they are, and no means of tracing them, because the seller has no idea who the buyer was. Again, THAT is what they are trying to stop. I hope they never succeed. [/QUOTE]
