You are correct. I read your comment too fast. My apologies.
We can start with the gun show, or private party sale loophole.
I am in favor of closing this loophole and requiring people to submit to background checks in all firearm purchases.
If you agree with this gun control measure, please say so and mention another gun control measure you would like to see.
I strongly agree with the reform you mention.
There should be a limit on the number of guns an individual may buy in a month. A dealer can now, I believe, buy say 30 handguns at once and then peddle them in the inner city.
I disagree with this reform. I think if we closed the private sale loophole then this person could be prosecuted under that law, no need for a new one.

I could use some more information on what you mean here. I am not familiar with laws stating that records of licensing must be destroyed after a day.

Right to carry should be restricted to those who have an overriding need for this.
This statement is vague. An "overriding need" can be intrepreted in many different ways. I would interpret my "overriding need" to live as a need.
I believe the right to carry should be available to anyone who wants to carry, and has demonstrated functional ability to properly work their weapon. For example, for my CCW permit in AZ I had 16 hours of classes dealing with the operation of a firearm, the laws pertaining to firearms, safety, storage, etc, and had to hit a target 20 times from 5 and 10 feet. I feel that this requirement is more than sufficient to allow CCW permits.
