I'm gonna go out on a limb and say people don't want that. Come to think of that why would anyone think that is what would happen?
Welcome to the left mentality. See what I did there?

Well, we could look at the other Constitutional clauses that mention the militia, or we could just go full Gun Nut and decide that "well regulated" actually should be interpreted to mean "completely without restraint of any kind".

I'll leave you and the rest to that exercise.

If they are too dangerous to keep a firearm, they are too dangerous to walk the streets freely in society.
Why are you allowing them to be free?

The FBI provided database is the government's attempt to notify dealers of who should not be sold firearms.

The FFL dealer is not reporting your purchase to a state or federal controlled database. The local records kept by the dealer are a "loophole" that they can leverage but within the bounds of the law.
Can't the person just make their own? Like the Sten and similar weapons?

MANY earlier rulings have been overturned by newer courts.

They are NOT infallible!

I do agree there. It is just a bunch of opinions with no way to enforce them. 300 million may have a differing opinion.

When I get a receipt from the grocery store, it doesn't have my name on it.

Why does my name have to be on a receipt for buying a gun, but not a bow?
As a software developer and data analyst, I can tell you that the grocery store receipt is far more of an infringement of my 4th Amendment rights than any background check. If you are paying with any kind of card (even worse, using one of their discount cards), your 4th Amendment is probably being rode over roughshod and is a bloody and beaten mess. That's a conversation for another day though.

Shh... you are not suppose to tell them about our assault bows.

I am.
You too, if you are well regulated in the use and mechanics of your arms.

Regulating distribution is a violation of the 2nd amendment. It infringes on the immediate right to arms.

If I was a felon I would not even bother getting denied at a gun store. I can simply have all the parts sent to my house, all legal.
