>>I never said it would be easy. And in fact, I doubt it could be done that way. First there has to be a concerted effort to change the culture into a less gun-totin' mentality. Small steps at first, like maybe decent gun ownership regulations. Before I'm allowed to operate a car, I have to be tested. AFAIK, no such deal on guns (at least not everywhere in the country, or on every kind of gun). Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not aware that there is any sort of standardisation in the rules around gun ownership in the U.S. Pretty much any bozo with a wallet can buy a gun.

But do all legitimate gun dealers have to be federally licensed? If not, then this means very little because it is very specific in that it applies to federally licensed gun dealers.
