I'm one of those people with 50+ guns. I love guns. I used to sell guns.
I still think we do need some new firearm legislation. Specifically, we need universal background checks because as long as a secondary market without background checks exists, straw purchases are effectively legal.
My personal policy on selling guns to someone privately is they have to have a concealed carry license, because that license means they've passed the background check that I can't perform.
It also will help people who accidentally commit felonies. How many people reading this thread knew that a dad giving his gun to his son is fine most of the time, but a federal felony if they live in different states and the gun is a pistol, even if the gun is legal in both states?
On the flip side, supressors should be legal with no restrictions. It's pants-on-head stupid that they aren't. They make guns less harmful.
