More Q & A at link aboveWhat is your opinion about universal background checks, where checks would occur for private individuals selling guns and guns sold at gun shows?
I am opposed to any regulation that would require a farmer in Waterford, for example, to somehow conduct and/or pay for a background check on the neighboring farmer to whom he wanted to sell a firearm. I am equally opposed to an uncle being required to conduct and/or pay for a background check in order to sell his nephew a deer rifle at deer camp in the North Woods.
Rather than trying to strip away our constitutional rights, I believe lawmakers need to define private sales and retail sales. More regulation will increase straw purchases. If a criminal is bent on doing evil, he or she will simply find a weapon on the street or solicit a third party to make the weapon purchase.
How do you feel about limiting magazine sales to those with a maximum capacity of 10 bullets?
Placing limits on magazine capacity will do absolutely nothing to stop or curb firearm violence. Anyone with minimal practice can change a magazine in seconds. A simple YouTube search will show many examples.
