[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3272515, member: 24500"] I thought the Odessa-Midland shooter failed his 4473 and picked up a second hand AR private party. At least, that's what I read. Whether or not it's accurate is something the gov probaboy won't admit. Purely devils advocate, but what if universal only applied to sales? As if you could gift a firearm in the complete absence of compensation, cash and trade. Then you'd be free to hand down firearms through your lineage. Sure, there would be those that cheat the system, but it'd be no different than the questionable 'non-dealers' that seem to eek out a small profitable market in private sales and transfer. Not that the many should pay for the few, but would a familial included exception be a better argument than asking for the same rights as criminals? Don't get me wrong, laws don't prevent crime... I'm just prepping for the inevitable debate. I had the PD come knocking on my office door once because a gun I sold on Armslist came up used in a crime. I wasn't even the 4473 OG buyer. Just another dude in the loop... but they guy I sold it to ended up banging in another neighborhood. They were cool about it, and I sat there quietly, biting my tongue as they lectured me. Didn't use armslist for a long time after that. [/QUOTE]
