It’s not fascism or creeping anything. Every serialized firearm is meant to be traced to the ffl that sold it for those exact reasons. What you’re suggesting is we should never ever even attempt to go after straw buyers. That’s absurd. If we trace them to an FFL that sold several guns to someone that turned around and sold them to criminals, that’s someone that needs to be in jail.
The only issue is that the state police aren’t well suited for such.
I was talking about private sales between individuals, not FFLs. Mandating that individuals do background checks or require paperwork for a private sale is a slippery slope I don’t want to be near.
