Many states, from private sellers who are not FFL licensed dealers.I still want to know what state I could just go to and buy an "assault weapon" workout a,background check
whatever they have to say they can stuff it up their ass.

MA is not one of those states.
Which in the end is completely meaningless, because the gun still traces back to SOMEBODY. The vast majority of guns out there were sold from a dealer post '68 and are logged to a person. So, its still possible to "trace" the gun. Will it require actual police work to hunt down the sales train? Yes.
No.
If someone buys a gun cash and carry from a private seller, the only requirement is that the seller not knowingly sell to a prohibited person. The trace may lead to nothing more than "I sold to a fat smelly white guy I met at a gun show who saw the for gun for sale sign on the back of my coat".
"ammunition background checks, which were associated with an 18% reduction in death. "
ya know they have a point. I usually do not ask my ammo where it has been before I bought it!
You know an anti-gun study is really flawed when the Johns Hopkins center can't endorse it -- or maybe Dan is just mad he didn't get paid?The researchers did not explore whether rates of gun-related homicide and gun-related suicide seemed to be affected differently by the different laws.

CNN reached out the National Rifle Association for comment about the study and is awaiting a response.
Although there is good evidence that state laws requiring universal background checks, as well as handgun-purchaser licensing or permit requirements, reduce homicides and suicides, the current study does not add to the evidence base, said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, who was not involved in the current study.
Here's the most glaring failure of this Boston University "study", shows their need to achieve the preordained conclusion:

Anybody feel like digging into the background of Bindu Kalesan, assistant professor of medicine at Boston University and his funding? Looks like Bindu's 2015 anti-gun study was at Columbia university, and even more biased?
I am not advocating so-called universal checks - in fact, I think there is benefit to people having guns the govt does not know about (as registration is a prelude to confiscation).Still leads to someone, and that gun still started its journey at a dealer with a background check, that's my point. People are always going to sell things without the government knowing. So the idea of "universal background checks" is meaningless. People will still just sell the gun privately anyway.
Laws around firearm identification, which make it possible to determine the gun that fired a bullet, were associated with a 16% reductions in deaths.
Findings
31 672 firearm-related deaths occurred in 2010 in the USA (10·1 per 100 000 people; mean state-specific count 631·5 [SD 629·1]). Of 25 firearm laws, nine were associated with reduced firearm mortality, nine were associated with increased firearm mortality, and seven had an inconclusive association. After adjustment for relevant covariates, the three state laws most strongly associated with reduced overall firearm mortality were universal background checks for firearm purchase (multivariable IRR 0·39 [95% CI 0·23–0·67]; p=0·001), ammunition background checks (0·18 [0·09–0·36]; p<0·0001), and identification requirement for firearms (0·16 [0·09–0·29]; p<0·0001). Projected federal-level implementation of universal background checks for firearm purchase could reduce national firearm mortality from 10·35 to 4·46 deaths per 100 000 people, background checks for ammunition purchase could reduce it to 1·99 per 100 000, and firearm identification to 1·81 per 100 000.
WP said:{ Bloomberg funded anti-gun researcher Daniel } Webster said that those fingerprinting laws aren't even currently being implemented, raising the question of how they would prevent gun deaths -- and particularly in suicides where tracing the bullet to the gun hardly seems like a deterrent. Kalesan said that that the laws would result in fewer guns,and said the study wasn't designed to distinguish how policy contributions to suicide or homicide deaths.
Hey Bindu, you know you f***ed up when the most NRA-hating academic in the nation says your anti-gun study is crap."Briefly, this is not a credible study and no cause and effect inferences should be made from it," Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy & Research { at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health } wrote in an e-mail.
. . .
"What I find both puzzling and troubling is this very flawed piece of research is published in one of the most prestigious scientific journals around," Webster said in an interview."Something went awry here, and it harms public trust."
I personally make my ammo fill out a CORI, so I know every round was properly vetted.
Funny how it's never about putting violent, repeat criminals in prison. I guess that would reduce the DemocRAT voter too much.
