State control and registration is great?!?!?!
No thank you.........…
How is it control and registration? All the seller is doing is admitting he's selling a gun to the buyer. The state doesn't even know who the seller is, just the buyer. The state doesn't know if it's a long gun or hand gun. The state doesn't know make, model or serial number. There is way way less information exchanged then what's on a Federal form 4473. You do fill out a 4473 when buying a new gun, right? If not, both you and the seller are felons. Heck, it's entirely possible the deal feel through after the Illinois form was printed and the sale never even took place. It's CYA to the seller. The seller knows the buyer is not a prohibited person. And later down the road if the gun was used in a crime, the gun gets traced back to seller, he can show proof that he no longer owns the gun. CYA!
Because of this:
You've been living in IL too long if you can't see the folly of having forms, the gov't, etc. involved.
