[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2135630, member: 18914"] Well, while I share your sentiment, isn't your statement here full of holes? A background check requirement would have presented a significant obstacle to him (he has been arrested since - it was in today's news) from legally obtaining a gun because he would have been unable to simply lie to the seller and for the exact same reason that he was unable to just waltz into a gun store, say "I'm good-to-go" and buy a gun? I realize that if both the seller and buyer were in cahoots to break the law then yes, you are correct, an illegal transfer will occur anyway. Notice I didn't exaggerate and say a BC would have "prevented" a purchase it is just an obstacle to easily obtaining weapon by those who are in some disqualifying category. My greatest fear is that rather than seek a workable system, usable by non-FFL and without a record keeping system attached, the push will be for essentially expanding the FFL requirement to all sales/purchases along with an attendent record keeping requirement. That would, in my opinion, be the beginnings of a national registration system and be a very abd development. [/QUOTE]
