If all gun owners agreed with YOU and the NRA, the NRA would have millions more members. The reality is that many gun owners don't agree with YOU or the NRA. Get used to it! LOL! NICS checks are for sales by dealers. Private sales on many weapons don't require this. One can pretty much sell to anyone who shows the money, with no questions asked and this is not considered a black market sale. I know you can't possibly fathom how guns from private sales end up in criminal hands this way. That's your problem and not mine.
