This is a poster boy for why private sales must be included in the background check. Also, perhaps every weapon sold needs to be fired and the ballistics captured as part of the records kept on that weapon.

Also, the NRA is constantly saying "enforce existing law". Unless the gun was captured the sale could not have been traced because the ballistics could not be traced to this weapon so it is rare that existing law can be enforced for what turned out to be an illegal sale like this. As it is the NRA will probably say "we told you so" and care must be taken to not allow that to happen.
