That's correct. People are getting it.

IMO, we need to do more than just criminalize straw purchases. We need background checks for all sales, and they should be handled through registered licensed regulated dealers, not at fly-by-night shows. Internet sales of any weaponry or parts needs to be banned. There is just no way to check out internet transaction sufficiently. Same for all bullets (hollow point and other bullets designed to be lethal should be banned as well, the regular ones do enough killing and damage). California has new rules for ammunition sale regulation that should be modeled for the country.

A high power rifle/assault weapon ban is reasonable. These are military-grade weapons and do not belong on the streets. They are pointless for hunting. They are only intended to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. They can be allowed to be held and used at licensed regulated gun shooting ranges for entertainment (?!?) purposes but must never be permitted to leave the premises. They don't belong in the home.

Same goes for large capacity magazines. Regulated gun range exception same as above, up to 30 bullets. (More is pointless as they supposedly function unreliably)

Something has to be done to ensure gun owners are using safes for their guns and keep bullets separate to prevent accidents.

Eventually, reason will prevail and education and training will be made mandatory. Then we'll finally see sanity prevailing WRT guns. Hopefully it'll mean a lot fewer of them too.
