More people are killed with cars than with guns and you know it. Guess what, we don't have an "epidemic" of hand gun killings either.
To be honest, I am a bit torn on this decision. On one hand, buying a gun to give to another, in order to circumvent the system of background checks, should be a crime. On the other hand, if I wanted to buy a present for a friend who is having a birthday, would I be breaking the law? It appears that I would be, and that is where I disagree with this decision.

So Obama made Detroit and Chicago safer then? That's good to hear, especially from you.
Re-registered? Hmmmmmm, more code for confiscation.The gun should be re-registered, just like an automobile with all the receiving gun owner requirements met....EXCEPT we know they won't be. The problem here is threefold...
1. above
2. just like stolen cars it does nothing about stolen guns
3. the real problem is nut jobs and gang-bangers (nut jobs and gang bangers that the cops can't/or won't do anything about until after the fact)

The guys problem was he got paid to buy the gun 3 days before he actually bought it for his uncle, not only that the uncle wrote glock 19 in the memo section.
I'm sure (at least I hope so) there wouldn't have even been an issue if he bought the gun and then sold/gave it to his uncle.
Not true, I have said all along the don't just gather all that info on you for nothing. But if we believe them, there is no registration.You think ANY gun purchase right now is not reported and registered? Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Tell that to the to any big inner-city police department.

If you believe there isn't a record of WHO purchased any new handgun now days, I've got some beachfront property in north Nevada for sale. That's how they know if it's a registered or unregistered weapon upon serial number check of the gun.
Wow, sounds like a fun Christmas morning.I can see your point about gifting but you could just simply kind of gift card it in a way. "IOU one glock " then go get it together with your money and his physical presence.
It's simple logic. If they are too dangerous to own a firearm, they shouldn't be out. It's completely idiotic, that someone who gets a felony for possession of marijuann when their 19 can't even own a firearm when their 50. The logic is completely out the window on that one.
I bet more minors have died from adults providing alcohol for them then people killed by straw purchase guns. Lets work on that if anything.
I would agree with that also. Personally I think firearm restrictions should only come from firearm-related crimes.
That law already exists so what's your point?
Also, when you say "I'll bet.." Is that your way of making something up rather than taking a skosh of time to look it up?
You brought up well regulated militias. I brought up the court case where you do not have to be a part of a well regulated militia to own a firearm. If I missed your point, my apologies.
I think this whole thing is just a way to take peoples rights away and call it righteous. :shrug:
Put me in jail if I sell a car to someone that kills someone in a DUI accident too? Or how about I rent my house out and someone kills another in it?
Neither the car nor the house are weapons. Not comparable.
I said I bet. You are right. But in my 51 years, I have heard and seen more kids dying from underage drinking than from gun shots. Through my job and from just paying attention. You may want to try it.
Bull, a car can be every bit a weapon and has been used as a weapon many times. Homes can provide cover for crimes like making meth or growing pot or just look at John Wayne Gacy. Used to hide victims.
