Or is the fourth paragraph just a misrepresentation of online classifieds where the private sale still happens face toface within state borders?

I ask because I oppose the former and believe the federal government has the right to regulate interstate commerce (and unless I'm mistaken, this is already illegal). The latter, however, I believe should be allowed to continue as long as we can find a way to ensure that these transactions involve two people who are not barred from owning firearms.

My current preference would be an NICS system open to public notaries that allows the purchaser to demonstrate that they have passed a background check by obtaining a document to that effect.
