I know what I'm saying is slippery slope material. What about gun collectors who have accumulated guns over the years? They shouldn't have to be checked again.I'm thinking more about a one time buy of a relatively large amount of firearms. A check will clear the person, but if he's not a dealer, who's asking why is he buying so many?
I ws thinking more along the lines what if a non-dealer purchased 50 AK's. Would it be unreasonable if the government checked back in, say, a year, to see it that person still has those 50 AK's? Not considering if he sold 5 of them on GAA. Then there would be a record of those 5, so there should be no reason to check other than to see if the remaining 45 are still in his possession.Think gang or terrorist group leader. What if he was able to purchase for the "group" then handed them out illegally. How else could that be stopped other than to check back?See where I'm going with this?
Absolutely not! Give Uncle Sam a foot in the door, and he will move in with you. Dealers are subject to federal oversight via the BATF, but private individuals are not...and let's keep it this way.
