be they internet, private seller, whatever, should require a background check, preferably through a Federal Firearms Dealer.

I'm also on board with registration as long as safeguards with teeth against abuse by the govt. are enacted, and, why not a national firearms ID, like the Illinois Firearms Owner ID?

These measures, along with changes in social behavior, would go a long ways to further reducing the firearms violence in this country.
