Trying to apply a law to just gun show transactions complicates things - You have to concisely define what constitutes a gun show (which has the unintended effect of creating a class of events that are not quite gun shows).

Just make the same requirement apply to all private sales of used firearms.

I feel this legislation would have the support of most gun owners. ... spin Mar 2013 #9
