Grow the Second Amendment

Kyle is right. 

And I have been saying this for forever.

But GOP squishes haven't been willing to fight for us.  Help defend?  Yes, usually.  They are often on the side of gun rights.  But rarely do they do any initiative to advance gun rights.  When they do, it's appreciated, but often small ball.

How bout getting rid of backdoor registration?  Tie gun ownership to gun owners, rather than to guns.  You NICS check a person, not a purchase.  And gun owner they check should be people that are about to own a gun, or might want to in the future.  Does this 'gun owner' have a gun or is about to?  Maybe yes, maybe no.  

How about getting national reciprocity?   Why do I have rights in Ohio and Virginia, but not Pennsylvania or Maryland?  Did I do something WRONG in those two states? 

After that, we'll discuss getting rid of the 'you gotta get permission first' thing about this inherent God-given right.

You're right that the firearm transfer should be aoub the person, not the gun. The serial number is jus another intrusive way towards registration. If you want to sell a gun to a stranger, all you need to know is whether that person is legitimate; the serial number is a tracking device, not a legitimacy device.

The description and the serial number of the gun should NEVER be entered into the Federal database ... they are here to help, not to ... well, never mind.
