it isnt as easy as democrats seem to think it is. put a wrong number on your ssn or not the same address and you could find you not getting a firearm at all. plus, if you answer any of the questons wrong, then you could find yourself put on a fed list for the rest of your life after being denied.

There will be other gun incidents before the next election, unfortunately not even a question of if, just a question of when and it will be front page. Someone will acquire a weapon through a private sale at a gun show and use it in a murder.
Of course..... and until this backward country gets back to decent culture, stopping the breakdown of the family and dealing better with the mentally ill, nothing will change unfortunately

Yeah, CCW reciprocity is a bad idea. The feds would be given control over the entire system. Nobody wants what the feds do with funding bribes over transportation laws to happen with gun laws, too. That would be a complete and utter disaster.

We currently have a bomb incident that did not involve guns.
Gun restrictions/bans will not make the bad guys turn good or go away.
You are still left with the original problem that you seem to not want to admit.

The majority in California rejected same sex marriage. Twice. So you'd be totally fine with California amending their Constitution to forbid it, right? After all, the majority has spoken. Twice...
