Hell, down here, if you have a CWP, the dealers won't even do a background check. Just put your PIN on the 4473 and it skips the check and just goes straight to printing out the approved form. I sold 3 rifles this morning w/o background checks. Private sales are as simple as you hand me cash I hand you a gun, the end. Don't even need a BOS.
whatever they have to say they can stuff it up their ass.

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).
The current situation is that an undocumented sale is lawful. The opposition is trying to change that so that every legally transferred gun is traceable to the current person in possession, and possession of an untraceable gun the govt does not know about is unlawful.
Just follow the money!
That article is the most shameless piece of crap masquerading as reporting as the "research" masquerading as research that it's written about. Feces stacked upon feces.
Here's my 3 ways to reduce gun crime
1. Stop Illegal immigration: This also means export all illegals out of the country.
2. Encourage law biding citizens to [STRIKE=strikethrough]get a license and[/STRIKE] carry for home and personal security[STRIKE=strikethrough]. Instruct[/STRIKE], and seek instruction to use and store the weapon properly
3. Keep prisoners in prison.
Hmm, need a license to purchase ammo? More background checks.

Because of the shortcomings of the firearms background checks, "we were very happy when we got the result that background checks for ammunition is effective, and could be more effective than (firearm) background checks alone," she said
I still want to know what state I could just go to and buy an "assault weapon" workout a,background check
So according to the study, Massachusetts (and 2 other states) have background checks for ammo, and gun deaths went down in 2010 due to those checks. That tells you all you need to know about this 'study'. Not to mention, what kind of scientist goes into a study with such an obvious bias?
Forbes said:The study is an effort by lead investigator Bindu Kalesan, a clinical trials statistician and assistant professor at Boston University, to understand gun violence. She and Boston University self-funded the work, which means there are no conflicts of interest.
“I think this study has some serious methodological limitation,” says Jeffrey Swanson, a gun violence researcher at Duke University. “The risk is you can come to some misleading conclusions.”

'Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Center for Gun Policy and Research, told the Washington Post, “Briefly, this is not a credible study and no cause and effect inferences should be made from it.” Webster is later quoted, stating, “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 Something went awry here, and it harms public trust.”'
I actually took the time to read the article.
I'm a dumbass; you saved yourself the effort.
They can most definitely stuff it up their ass.

Uh Oh!!! You mean I should not have sold my Bushmaster AR-15 to that guy from Taunton?Many states, from private sellers who are not FFL licensed dealers.
MA is not one of those states.
What kind of insurance? We've already been around that [thread=257968]twice[/thread] -- you can't buy insurance to cover yourself against your own intentional acts, and you can't be forced to buy insurance to exercise a constitutional right (e.g. speech, or religion). So yeah, such a law will enrich lawyers, up until somebody gets the case in front of the supreme court.Just wait until they pass laws that require gun owners to have insurance. Then the lawyers will catch on that law suits will have more money at the end of the rainbow.

Well NY and IL already sort of have that law about ammo. I live way up in Maine and everybody has firearms we do not even need a permit to carry a firearm. We have none of the murders that places like CA,NY,NJ and IL have wonder why that is?
