"A Gun Show That Never Ends"

On the one hand, it's certainly true that further regulating gun sales — e.g., mandating that all such transactions have a background check done with them — will never prevent all illegal gun transactions. On the other hand, right now the loopholes allow any felon to easily (albeit illegally) get a gun, with only the felon at risk; perhaps putting the seller at risk might make it a wee bit more difficult for guns to get into the wrong hands. Which, frankly, seems worth it to me (if not to quite enough Senators).
