Nutters are supposed to be in the system and denied the purchase of firearms. This guy should have been in the system and wasn't (presuming the pawn shop acted legally). Pawn shops that carry firearms are gun stores and behave accordingly. The failure was not the sellers, but that it was not reported. Bad on the State, not the seller, the club owner, the property owners, or Rotary Intl.
If you want to call for a constitutional convention, be my guest, but the BoR is still hanging in there as I see it. Technology is the big player in much of this, and some of us are well equipped to fight back. For example, it is possible to have unreadable and untraceable email if you know how.
My answer to the problem is to first enforce and standardize the laws we have. After that, we can rationally examine what needs to change, in both directions. Even without that, its clear that the classist and racially inspired gun restrictions in places like NYC need to be rescinded and the ability to do NCIS checks for private transactions needs to be allowed.
