Trafficking from one region to another is far too easy. Further, we need a national database and universal registration. The NRA wants to include mental illness in the NICS database but what good is it if one becomes dangerously ill after buying guns legally? Without knowing who has guns how can we be protected from someone who becomes a danger to themselves or others?
