True, i don't get that those who sell legally to criminals today wouldn't risk being charged by selling illegally to criminals then.
Most of all, i think it has more to do with people just selling their guns and not caring rather than selling their guns specifically to criminals but perhaps i think too highly of US gun owners?
Any person that sells a gun is going to record a bill of sale and drivers license number of the buyer. This proves their age and state of residency which clears you mostly from selling to somebody that can't own/posesses a firearm.
The reason is that gun is REGISTERED/TRACEABLE TO ME. As a law abiding citizen that gun is mine lawfully. I would like to keep my right to own arms by not committing a felony and selling to somebody that couldn't own a firearm, I could lose that right forever if I did.
If I don't record the drivers license and bill of sale I open myself up to a whole world of shit should that gun be used in a crime because if it is, that crime is going to come back to me and I need to prove I sold the weapon.
You keep thinking the worst about gun owners, in my experience it's prudent to think of them as really not wanting to break the law so they can continue to own firearms instead of being stripped of that right for life. Law abiding citizens are just that, they obey the law.
