As you're about to say, this is a good thing.
Quote:Which, ok. That's a good idea. But the two issues there are: 1 selling illegal guns is already illegal and 2 as someone in this thread mentioned, most firearms used in mass shootings (and I believe the majority of homicides) are purchased legally.
Actually most mass shooting firearms are used by their lawful purchasers. Most guns used in homicides probably aren't. Seeing as how the significant majority of gun related homicides are criminals killing criminals this is almost certainly not the case. Mass shootings as most of us define them are a minuscule fraction of gun related homicides. Laws targeting the law abiding, vast majority, are not going to affect this.
