Fair enough, thanks for the follow up. The database that I was thinking could be model for the entire country, doesn't stop at the buyer and one particular firearm at a time, it also includes the seller. My understanding is it is quick and easy, convenient, and something that's sellable as reasonable. My point has consistently been, it's the beginnings of a registry, just ineffective to this point because it's not national. I'm not sure why any money would be better spent on your proposal, isn't it just up to folks now to be held to doing their jobs?

It's absolutely none of my business, but my guessing opinion is that the time and extent of taking concerns privately to the NRA would likely be tiny compared to the effort and optics of 'pro' folks criticizing their nearly lone voice in public. It might be seen by some as hugely contributing to the image problem.
