(36,437 posts)36. Multiply BATF and state/local agency enforcement dollars by 10
prioritize prosecution for a 10 year period.
To assist with enforcement, get gun registration numbers on all future guns, and register all guns like we register cars. Transfers (whether sale or gift) must be registered as well.
The reason the NRA fights enforcement like hell is that they know straw purchases and illegal purchases are part of the business model for all their constituents, from manufacture to individual owner. If Ford's profit relied on some significant percentage of stolen cars each year, you'd see attacks on enforcement capabilities of auto theft as well.
