Report private gun sales but otherwise no registration

The use of arms and the threat of use (taking aim) should be the focus of the laws for our Constitution gives us the right to bear them. No registration of arms at the state and local level. Require all private sells to be reported and checked (report buyer's name and driver's license number). Source: 2004 Presidential National Political Awareness Test Nov 7, 2004
