That's what I mean. There's no record. In many cases, you don't have to register. You can go on Craigslist and buy a gun from a sketchy dude. You know the one. That one guy. You met him. You bought something from him on Craigslist. Maybe it was a couch; maybe it was a 9mm that'd been used in a double homicide. Maybe you bought it at a gun show. Maybe you got it from Wal Mart. Maybe you had to go for a waiting period, maybe you didn't. Maybe I took the hunting safety course when I was a kid, and maybe my father just walked into Trigger N' Reel in his police uniform and came out with a hunting license for me.
I'm not talking about A LOT of accountability that I'd like to see. Just...some, going forward, if only for newly purchased weapons. God knows there are millions of the other type already freely available from wherever.
