Reply #61: Filling out a 4473 isn't "registration". [View All]

I know it's the moral equivalent of that to some folks but it's not. The system as it is now is a bit burdensome to law enforcement, at least enough to make fishing expeditions a waste of time.

Allowing private citizens to check NICS before doing a face to face sale is a good idea. Problem is NICS isn't available to everyone, just FFLs. Do the check, receive an email confirmation in a few minutes, proceed with the deal. Then all you have to do is retain the email. Now there are guys out there who make a living buying and selling guns without a license. They wouldn't be a bit happy about this intrusion in their lives.

Straight up registration like a motor vehicle? Nope I'm not going there.
