guys:
all of the firearms used in the recent mass murders were of the center fire, semi automatic, high capacity magazine type.
so why not have universal background checks on just those firearms that meet all three of the tests listed above? this would be the trade off for repeal of the firearms acts of 1968 and 1993. that would mean the lifting of the ban on none dealer interstate firearms transfers, the elimination of dealer record keeping on all other firearms and no background check by any federal agency on all other firearms...state laws would remain in force.
ideally, the universal background check act would have the same provision as the assault rifle ban. meaning that it would expire in ten years and would require congressional approval for its renewal.
