The ATF should be disbanded.
It's a strange thing to have around seeing as how all three are legal under most circumstances.

It's not a disease.
To your first point, you're wrong. You can already privately sell your firearm through an FFL (as anyone who has sold online is fully aware of). This should be a federal law (and has broad support). As to your second point, addressing mental health in this country and talking openly about it does address what transpired at Sandy Hook. And finally your last point really highlights the truth in this debate (though not directly). Conservatives don't believe in any regulation on gun control. Feel free to vilify the President. But to suggest that he is merely capitalizing on an event and not following through with his true beliefs is very misguided.
I love how its okay for him to use our children for a political agenda when the NRA mentions his they have crossed the line and are the cowardly ones. Ha!
The private sale prohibition is going to be one of the top priorities but I'd be surprised if it goes through. First off, the federal government has no power to regulate private commerce that does not cross state lines so on its face there would be a HUGE legal hurdle. Secondly, how would it possibly be enforced? If I sell you a gun and you're a criminal are you going to turn me in? If you get caught with a gun that I sold you and you commit a crime and that gun is traced back to me all I'm going to say is that you stole it.
Their mission includes more than just literal diseases. It also includes injury and disability.
Most people think it's shady for either side so I'm not really sure where you get this idea.
Difficult to enforce doesn't mean we should leave it legal. I don't know about you, but I think it should be illegal to sell a gun privately to a person who can't legally purchase a gun.
I mean really. Does anybody think the 2nd amendment includes selling guns to violent criminals? Does anybody really oppose making it illegal for violent criminals to own guns?
If you think both of those things should be illegal, shouldn't there be at least some attempt to stop it from happening?

When you sell a vehicle you submit a form to the state. I don't see why firearms should be less regulated then vehicles. Failure to report a stolen firearm should also be a felony. There will always be criminals. The purpose of a law is not just deterrence. It also has acts a punishment to those who willfully break them. Again, it is not a prohibition against private sale. The FFL would only act as an intermediary between both parties (fyi, this is how I would sell mine already because I'm not going to risk accidentally selling to a criminal).
Weapons should not be sold privately if you want to sell a weapon or purchase a weapon it should be done through a licensed dealer, Enforcement should be easy if you own a weapon and it has been used in the commission of a crime and you have not reported it stolen you should have your gun ownership right revoked and be subjected to fines and jail time.
I'd like to know, how he defines armor piercing bullets.
Why not?
If I want to sell my poker buddy a gun I should be able to do so just as if I wanted to sell him my old couch.
You poker buddy will not use a couch to commit a crime with, you may have no idea of what your old buddy intends to use that weapon for, your old buddy may have a mental health problem that you are not aware of, every weapon should be registered to the owner who should have had a background check prior to purchasing a weapon

In particular, it seems odd that the CDC has been prevented from studying gun violence.
wtf is up w/ that?
Registration is not going to stop gun violence. A person that has a registered gun in their name is just as capable of committing a crime with that gun as a criminal. Might be rare but it is still a possibility. A background check is not going to stop someone that has never been considered mentally unstable from buying a gun.

But .. but ... but .. its "for the children" !!!!
