We have had 4473 forms for over 40 years now. We've had background checks for well over a decade. I think most would gladly trade the crime rate, along with society in general, 40 years ago as opposed to now. Gun control measures have increased, society has declined from a behavioral standpoint. More laws, paper, and ink are not what is required here. A better behaving society is. Unfortunately, that doesn't come out of a Congressional committee like coffee out of a vending machine. Bill T.
