There is a problem with that. I can legally buy a weapon from the trunk of a car. I believe you can also do so in the states of louisiana, mississippi, new mexico, arizona, and a host of others. In fact, any state that does not require a 'purchase permit', does not regulate private sales, as it should be.

As to the other categories you stated, wouldn't it be of higher prudence to make the criminal use of a weapon illegal instead of mere ownership?

So i'll ask again, how do you define illegal ownership? Why should ownership of anything be regulated?
