With computers this could be enforced pretty easily. You could have private sales, but the registration requirement (which already exists everywhere) is made a component of the sale in the same way as it is for cars, and modernized for enforcement and tracking.

here in arkansas, the state isn't necessarily informed of a car sale.
as for private sale, by the time all that is supposedly done, said loony gun buyer could have already done what he planned to do.
i'm not saying a ban on sales-but there should be an blanket ban on private sales. sellers should have to go to a registered dealer, and either sell or consign a firearm. that way, every purchase is handled the way it should be, with no buyer slipping thru the cracks.
