That said, the last time I checked, it was COMPLETELY legal to sell guns among individuals. If it was a gun previously registered when purchased new, the seller and buyer are supposed to record each others contact information.
Also, what makes a particular rifle an "assault rifle" or "sniper rifle?" Any rifle can be used for either of these purposes.
Are you under the impression that gun laws will save lives? If so, you might consider this; BEFORE there were any significant gun laws, we had WAY less shootings, almost NONE, by idiots such as the guy last week. Guns are incapable of killing people on their own. Guns are not the problem. Today's SICK society is the problem.

I disagree that this is a new problem. There always have been sick violent people. When Frank Lloyd Wright lived in Wisconsin he had a handy man who got upset with things and set the main house on fire, then stood at the only exit door with an ax hacking people down as they came out. Of course if he had had an assault rifle he could have killed 30 instead of 6....quicker and more effficient.
