Let's help draft a law we can live with....


-- Printed receipt for each party
-- Transaction records immediately deleted

How can you have a printed receipt and delete the transaction records?

The buyer gets a receipt, the seller gets a receipt, the government gets to delete the record after printing the receipt. Undifficult.

And you trust the government to delete them?

Not me. Once it is in "the system" it is not going anywhere. Not one thing with this "offer" would do anything to stop a mass shooter. As a matter of fact, nothing any of the gun grabbers propose will do anything to stop a mass shooter. The thing is, none of them are trying to stop mass shooters. They are simply trying to look like they have done something so they can claim it during an election.

When I buy a gun through an FFL today, what record does the government maintain?
Would I be any worse off with my (admittedly pie in the sky) proposal?

I've never trusted Dan Patrick since the whole Jon Matthews debacle. King Jon was one of the strongest conservative voices on the radio and had his career destroyed over basically nothing. Dan Patrick and his whole RINO liberal constituency needs to go!

The 4473 is kept for 20 years but the FFL can destroy them after that. The ATF encourages the FFL to turn them in instead of destroying them. Some FFLs will shut down their license and get a new one just to avoid having to store 4473’s (in which case the forms are sent to the ATF). During yearly inspections the ATF IOI can gather any info they want off the 4473’s, I’ve had them take someone’s info before during audits (even though there was nothing questionable and after I told him the buyer was legit and had a CHL).

Multiple handgun sales (and multiple long gun sales in border states) forms are sent to the ATF and chief law enforcement officer. Those forms have all the buyers info plus all the firearm info.

Your proposal does nothing to solve the problem and only opens the door to other infringing legislation. As Reagan stated, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem. I have not seen anything proposed that will stop people from being killed. There has been nothing implemented worldwide that I know of that has stopped killing.

Pie-in-the-sky proposal

One of the problems with ending private transfers is that FFL's charge for transfers.

So, require the transfer to take place WITHOUT CHARGE at EVERY Federal office. I mean EVERY Federal prosecutor, FBI Office, Post Office, Park Service, BATFE office, Social Security Office, VA, Federal Court, Military Base, NSA, CIA, etc. Just wonder in with your customer and a gun and have the Feds fill out and keep the 4473. Same rules as a private FFL. Oh, I guess that would mean you could bring a gun into every Federal Building in the United States.

This would have to be WITHOUT CHARGE because it's a constitutional right. If a 'poll tax' is unconstitutional then a 'firearm transfer tax' would be as well.

It must be at EVERY Federal office because you can't force those 'in the sticks' to travel.

You wouldn't even need an ID. 'They' have said you shouldn't need one to vote.


Until 1968, someone could commit a Felony, go to prison, and when they got out, they could own firearms. The nation survived.

Best idea I’ve see or heard.

I wasn't trying to solve the violence problem, just trying to satiate the calls for UBC's in a way that is no worse than what exists today. When an FFL runs a NICS check, is a record kept by the FBI? If we pass a law declaring that record must be deleted, I'd say we gained something. 4473 remains unchanged.

Appeasement never is a good idea in anyway.

Let me ask you this. Do you believe that even if they had UBCs and a federal gun registry, that the antis would be satiated?
If so, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
If not, what problem are you trying to solve?

Francis said what the whole Democratic Party wants to do. Take all Ar15’s and AK 47’s. The problem is they will not stop there.

You have been around long enough to know there ain't no satiate to be had. No matter what we give them now, after the next few shootings they will come after more. Anything the anti's get will ONLY serve to embolden them.
