If you want to change a law then lobby, it is the only really effective way in most circumstances.

I would agree, which is why i'm not the one that suggested it.

I could see them making the seller do a background check on the person buying the gun in order to transfer it. It probably wouldn't be that hard to setup the ATF or FBI to handle this type of program for non gun dealers. Maybe they would just have to go to a licensed gun dealer to get a certificate stating that they are able to buy a gun and the seller has to do the same thing so they know that the other person is able to buy a gun.

all this would amount to is full scale registration which could/would lead to full scale confiscation. just like canadas firearm registry, just like californias Assault weapons registration, too many people would not comply. Once it was determined that only a small amount of people would actually comply, how is it going to be enforced?
