How did no one monitor the purchases?

143. How can you enforce the licensing of gun owners

without some form of registration?

Presumably, my state has a list somewhere of all licensed drivers. If there's no list to cross check, how do you ensure that people aren't evading the law, or simply faking their licensing?

The same with mandatory training. I go in to buy sixteen semi-automatic rifles. The dealer says, do you have a license? And proof of mandatory training? And I say sure, and whip out a phony license and a phony certificate of training. Or I produce nothing at all except my word. How is a dealer supposed to know I'm not lying, unless there's a data base out there of people with licenses and who have fulfilled the training requirement, (and hence, a list of those who own or have the potential to own a firearm?)

Mag size limits, absolutely. How about limits on range and caliber? And when you say UBS, can I assume you mean at gun shows and private person to person sales as well?
