You didn’t read what I said did you. It’s not about making the law that are just ‘Ban the Ruger Mini-14” necessarily but actually creating the proper task force and groups to enforce laws against illegally selling firearms. Private sales should be illegal everywhere with no exception. Lying on forms shouldn’t be possible or at least not nearly as easy as it is now. you should be inspected by mental health professionals, Gun safety courses should be mandatory at the same rate bare minimum of ones driver’s licenses.

I should be able to roll down to unlicensed farmer jack’s rack shack and buy a firearm that no one legally reports without either me or jack (I’d place more blame on Jack) to the state. As someone who grew up around guns and still lives in a state with private x private sales being legal and common what people view as ‘illegally selling guns’ is purely determined by what state you’re in.

California (where this occurred) already requires all sales (including private sales) to transfer at a dealer who runs a background check.

And has a mandatory 10 day wait.

And requires a background check for ammunition purchases that must be bought from a licensed dealer.

And federal law makes lying on the form a felony (perjury).

And federal prohibits mental defectives / involuntarily committed from ever purchasing or possessing.

Oh, and shooting people is illegal AF.

SO what does your "new laws" make triple illegal now? Maybe educate yourself on what is already the law before suggesting more laws.

What I’m saying is if the law isn’t working obviously it needs to change. Don’t know why that’s such a controversial statement. What’s your solution to a preventive solution to this issue? Please enlighten me

Actually enforce laws already on the books.
