So gun companies can't willfully distribute guns to criminals because they are exempt from prosecution. That statement is not factual.
Manufacturers sell to distributors. They have no idea how many guns of theirs are purchased at a single time by a local gun dealer, nor it is reasonable to think that they can or will do so.
Whoever makes the CVS-brand Sudafed that I use has no clue how many boxes I've bought, or when, or where.
I do think that we can impose transaction limits, which would help to defeat straw buyers and such, but for that we need nationwide background checks on all firearm transfers.
Once that is done, we can impose a yearly limit on sales. 12 a year, or whatever. Or rather, only 12 background checks a year per person will be given approval.
If you're buying or selling more than 12 a year, get a collector's license or something, and pay income taxes on what you're selling.
So, here's what I want done. Mandatory background checks for all firearm transfers; then deny all background check applications that a person submits after the 12th one in a calender year.
Does this sound reasonable?
