Would this eliminate all bad guys from buying a gun on the "street". No, but it likely would save some lives. It would be a start toward perhaps getting assault weapons eliminated from being sold to someone with a documented mental problem.

First of all. ALL licensed gun dealers MUST conduct a background check prior to selling a handgun, even at gun shows. Further, in Florida, the buyer must wait three days before taking possession of his gun. The only handguns sold without a background check at gun shows or through an ad are private sales between two individuals. And AR does not stand for assault weapon. It stands for Armalite, the company that designed the AR15/M16/M4. The AR15 is the non-automatic (civilian) version of the M/4. The AR15 is a one shot one trigger pull black scary rifle like thousands of other non-black rifles. Repeating the lies of the gun control activists does nothing to help resolve these tragedies.
