(16,038 posts)do you wish to open the door to the feds regulating selling your car to your neighbor, or can your state do just fine. I'm not interested in giving the feds the power to diminish state soverignty.
If you really wish to make positive headway you would encourage lawmakers (frankly, the President could do this through executive order)the Licensing requirements for FFL dealers to require them to conduct background checks on private sales for a low statutory fee. Then do what the NRA does, go state to state campaigning for a requirement. But alas, you are quite content demanding the same constitutionally impossible regulations as if there are no other alternatives..what is it they say about 'doing the same thing over and over expecting different results'?
