Convicted domestic abusers are already prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law and anyone engaged in the business of selling firearms must conduct an FBI (NICS) background check on the purchaser before the transfer can be completed. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, there are laws already on the books that satisfy the widespread public demand for those policies.&nbsp; Ergo, no new gun control is necessary! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With respect to background checks, there is an exception for private sales or transfers in certain states. Meaning, neighbors, hunting buddies, family members, etc., can sell or transfer a firearm to one another without having to run a NICS check. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s illegal for one to sell or transfer a firearm to someone he or she knows or has reason to believe is a prohibited person.&nbsp; A neighbor or hunter or family member would be liable under federal law if he sold a firearm to someone he knew was a felon, a minor, a domestic abuser, a drug addict, etc. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line is that we have all the laws we need to arrest, charge, and incarcerate those individuals intent on doing harm to others.  We just need to do a better job of enforcing &#8217;em.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, short of that, we need to ensure that responsible and law-abiding Americans have the means to defend themselves when the system fails.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pollsters at Global Strategy Group asked 1,500 Americans last month whether gun control was \u201cmore important\u201d now than it was before the outbreak.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":124754,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-129015","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Everytown Survey Indicates Support for Gun Control Has Surged During Pandemic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new poll commissioned by Everytown for Gun Safety indicates that Americans believe gun control is &quot;more important&quot; now than before the pandemic.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-survey-gun-control-surged-pandemic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Everytown Survey Indicates Support for Gun Control Has Surged During Pandemic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The pollsters at Global Strategy Group asked 1,500 Americans last month whether gun control was \u201cmore important\u201d now than it was before the outbreak.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-survey-gun-control-surged-pandemic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-05-19T14:05:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-06T14:26:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/BloombergMikeEverytown-1.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1012\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"694\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
