I just bypassed your straw purchase beater rule.

I think they need to tighten the reporting of gun thefts. There should be some requirement to report a stolen gun to the police within 1 month of your noticing its theft. Because that seems to be a common way guns end up in the hands of criminals. A friend gives them a gun. And then when the gun is confiscated during the commission of a crime, the friend claims it was stolen a year ago. And yes, that would put the onus on gun owners to check that their guns are securely and safely stored 12 times a year.

The only ban i know that stopped manufacturing was the one pushed by President Ronald Reagan.

You're kidding, right?

If the government is destroying the supply, there is no open market, ergo market value is meaningless.

i will never do any background check on anyone I am selling firearms too. I do make them give me a ccw permit or something else i can check. I will also never submit to a background check either when buying a firearm.
