[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, overlapping a bit, but here is what Chicago LEO proposed to cut down on city gun violence.

- Pass the Gun Trafficking Prevention legislature which includes enforcement measures at every link in the illegal chain of custody of a trafficked firearm; 
- Create comprehensive background checks on all firearm sales, regardless of the venue or type of seller; 
- Lift ATF restrictions on oversight and enforcement of gun dealers; 
- Increase ATF resources, manpower, and enforcement of current firearm trafficking laws; 
- [b]Regulate and track online sales of all firearms; [/b]
- Lift restrictions on firearm sale recordkeeping, data access, and reporting; 
- Increase federal prosecution of gun trafficking and illegal gun possession offenses; 
- Increase federal law enforcement collaboration with local and state law enforcement agencies across regions[/quote]

What is the issue with online sales exactly?

Any weapon purchased online isn’t going to be shipped directly from the seller -&gt; buyer, but instead to a FFL holder, who completes the transaction and administers the necessary background check on the person who bought the weapon online[/quote]

I believe they are referring to the secondary gun market.

Yup. Frankly, there should be no wholly private secondary market. Every private sale in every state should be conducted through a FFL 3rd party who conducts a NICS check on the potential buyer. The fact that you can go to a gun show, meet a private individual on the floor, and buy a firearm out of the trunk of his car with no NICS check is pure insanity. [/quote]

I think that having all sales go through a FFL with NICS check is an example of common sense legislation. That being said, I am hard pressed to recall any of these horrific events ever playing out that way. Holmes, Laughner, Nidal, Cho, this guy in Uvalde, etc...all of these guys passed the NICS check and every one of them would be classified as waiting room diagnosis mentally ill. [/quote]

How many were &lt;21?
