8. i agree i dont oppose background checks

i agree i dont oppose background checks for private transfers or gun show internet sells. Intra family transfers are intresting. the ideas for background checks mean all sales/ xfers should go thru them I dont agree fundamentally on why intrafamily xfers would not need the check cousin rick may not have told cousin jim about his conviction for domestic violence a few years ago in another state that made a prohibited person. Cousin Jim currently has no way to run a background check.

A good system would be a validated token system where the purchaser runs their own check at a cost to them. The government gives them a onetime use token for transfer that the seller uses to enter into a federal secure website to validate the person has passed the check. The seller would then get a record of the transaction they can save for their records if they wish. The record keeping would not detail serial numbers but rather on xxx date xxx person was legally allowed to purchase a gun.

this solves lots of privacy issues and limits the "threat" of a backdoor registry. However if the goal is to build a registry this idea as stated above wont work without additional information from the seller. (serial number of each gun as an example and identity of the sell which under the plan above is not named but just assigned a transaction number)
