    An estimated 40% of all gun sales are private and therefore exempt from any background check.http://on.wsj.com/TZeLkq

        @WSJ Background check is mandatory. "Instant" might one day be feasible. Until then, you wait. We all do. For just about everything. #nra

        @WSJ guys buying guns legally are not criminals. Make selling black market guns about 30 yr min and you will see crime and violence drop

        @WSJ anyone that believes that this posturing is going to discourage criminal gang members from obtaining firearms and ammo is being naive!

        @WSJ In Australia private gun sales have to meet criteria too. It's fairly easy to fix loopholes if there is willpower, will just take time.

        @WSJ This is interesting. How can the government regulate private gun sales?

        @WSJ I believe it would make it illegal to sell privately without having a "gun store" perform the check. I'm in favor. #accountability

        @WSJ Stop the propaganda , the law says after you by gun from private party it has to be registered. Just in force the law on the books.
