It might come as a surprise to many people but gun control doesn't have to involve banning anything.
We have had gun restriction/control laws on our books being enforced by our feds since 1968. How is that working out? My guess is about as good as immigration laws have.
Either you take them away or people have them.

Other countries restrict ownership rights. Do some homework. I know someone who owns a gun in one of these countries. I also know the hoops he has to go through to keep it. I also know it isn't a sweeet .556 AR like I have because that is not allowed for non military or police personnel.
The police in the Netherlands and Spain carry guns by law. Norway is a country with lots of guns. There’s no where near as many gun crimes in those countries as there is in the USA.
In the Netherlands, you can smoke cannabis, take mushrooms and have sex with a prostitute in front of a policeman who is carrying an assault rifle… and USA claims to be the land of the free? XD

So how diverse is the Netherlands or Spain compared to the US?
Kind of hard to ignore they can't even agree on whats bad behavior or what's not. Two people murder someone with a gun, if its a white guy killing a black guy its news because racism, if a black guy kills a black guy its because they're victims of poverty, and if a black guy kills a white guy it's a peaceful protest.

Not sure what "Academy" means there, but there are loopholes that allow unlicensed gun sellers to sell someone a gun without ID, a background check or a waiting period. You can hand over a wade of cash and walk away with a gun, or guns and all the ammo you want.
It's not entirely known how many unlicensed gun sellers there as the data there is outdated, but upwards of 20% of gun sales, likely more.

It's Academy Sports, it's an all in one store type of thing.
I'm aware of the loophole but I'm also aware we literally have an agency ATF, I'm not sure how much action those guys have in regards to alcohol and tobacco nowadays.
Federal law does not require private gun sellers to obtain a background check on any gun purchaser. Many gun opponents refer to this as the gun show loophole.However, a private gun seller may be required by state law to perform a background check on the purchaser. At least 17 states and Washington, D.C. require some type of background check to be performed on the purchaser, even by private gun sellers.
There we go, pass a federal law to make private sales of firearms illegal to anyone other than a licensed gun dealer......seems to simple.

Making a license mandatory for all gun sellers would be a sensible step. But that gets blocked by the GOP on behalf of the NRA.
