She feels it's too easy for a questionable person to purchase a firearm in-state FTF without proof of a background check. She thinks it would be in the best interest of everybody that a background check be evaluated once a year and some form of permit be issued to allow firearm purchase.
This permit can be presented to the buyer and seller at purchase. This may not deter a criminal from purchasing a firearm but it would substantially reduce the possibility of guns getting in the wrong hands.
The VA Tech shooter at least went through a store and passed the NICS check (somehow) but how much easier would it have been for him to buy a gun FTF with no check at all.
Please don't flame, she wants good solid answers to the issue. These are her exact words as well, I'm just typing it for her.
BTW she's a good shot and is considering her CCL, just has some concerns.
