What I want to know is how you ban the "transfer" of something that is not registered in the first place, is it on the honor system?!? I understand you can ban the transfer of an automobile, because it has to be titled. But most of my guns were purchased from individual, cash transaction, no paperwork. Who's to say they were purchased before or after the ban on "transfers" and who could prove if I sold it after the ban when the transaction occured?

"will ban the sale, the transfer, the importation and the possession"

You left off the most important part of the proposed legislation - POSSESSION. Possessing one - if caught - will put you on Big Sis's terrorist watch list. Good luck with that.

where parts are as ubiquitous as a ball point pen...

it is crystal clear the only way to stop the violence is to train the population as a whole about the second amendment and self control and responsibility. (see individualism)
