You cannot transfer a firearm to your son, daughter, mother or father without doing a 4473. Every transaction would be required to file that form and undergo a NICS check. I went into this the other day. There are already over 43 million firearms that have already been sold and resold without 4473's among private parties. Why not just continue them in a black market like criminals and felons already do? How is the universal background checks going to stop anything? The government and LEO agencies don't prosecute felons and drug abusers that lie on 4473's now. If I remember right there were three people prosecuted last year in the entire US? Don't hold me to that number but that number came across in a political discussion I saw on TV.For the record, universal background checks, nor the current background checks would have prevented a single mass school shooting. All were legal owners purchased through the current system.</blockquote>
