"You don't want anything that could help law enforcement or society determine whether or not a person is a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun," Stewart said.
"The registry would allow you to have much more effective background checks," Stewart continued. "I don't understand why you won't just admit that you are making it harder for police to manage the streets by allowing all of these guns to go out without permits, without checks, and without background stuff? Why can't you just stand by that?"

An obviously stupid socialist-liberal comment. “All those guns go out” with background checks, serial number checks, identity checks and a completed ATF Form 4473 — which must be filled out in its entirety, t***hfully, and certified by applicants signature.“Form 4473 contains the purchaser's name, address, date of birth, government-issued photo ID, National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background check t***saction number, and a short affidavit stating that the purchaser is eligible to purchase firearms under federal law. It also contains the make, model, or serial numbering the firearm. Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison[2] in addition to fines, even if the t***saction is denied by the NICS.“ [Wikipedia]
From ATF Form 4473:
§ 21. Answer the following questions by checking or marking either the “yes” or “no” box to the right of the questions:
a. Are you the actual t***sferee/buyer of all of the firearm(s) listed on this form and any continuation sheet(s) (ATF Form 5300.9A)?
Warning: You are not the actual t***sferee/buyer if you are acquiring any of the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual t***sferee/buyer, the licensee cannot t***sfer any of the firearm(s) to you. Exception: If you are only picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person, you are not required to answer 21.a. and may proceed to question 21.b.
b. Do you intend to purchase or acquire any firearm listed on this form and any continuation sheet(s), or ammunition, for sale or other disposition to any person described in questions 21(c)-(m), or to a person described in question 21.n.1 who does not fall within a nonimmigrant alien exception?
c. Do you intend to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm listed on this form and any continuation sheet(s) or ammunition in furtherance of any felony or other offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year, a Federal crime of terrorism, or a drug trafficking offense?
d. Are you under indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year, or are you a current member of the military who has been charged with violation(s) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and whose charge(s) have been referred to a general court-martial?
e. Have you ever been convicted in any court, including a military court, of a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?
f. Are you a fugitive from justice?
g. Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside.
h. Have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?
i. Have you ever been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions?
j. Are you subject to a court order, including a Military Protection Order issued by a military judge or magistrate, restraining you from
harassing, stalking, or threatening your child or an intimate partner or child of such partner?
k. Have you ever been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, or are you or have you ever been a member of
the military and been convicted of a crime that included, as an element, the use of force against a person as identified in the instructions?
l. Have you ever renounced your United States citizenship?
m. Are you an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States?
21.n.1. Are you an alien who has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa?
21.n.2. If you are such an alien do you fall within any of the exceptions stated in the instructions? (U.S. citizens/nationals leave 21.n.l and 21.n.2 blank)
I certify that my answers in Section B are true, correct, and complete. I have read and understand the Notices, Instructions, and Definitions on ATF Form 4473.
I understand that answering “yes” to question 21.a. if I am not the actual t***sferee/buyer is a crime punishable as a felony under Federal law,and may also violate State and/or local law.
I understand that a person who answers “yes” to any of the questions 21.b. through 21.m. is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm.
I understand that a person who answers “yes” to question 21.n.1. is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm, unless the person answers “yes” to question 21.n.2. and provides the documentation required in 26.d.
I also understand that making any false oral or written statement, or exhibiting any false or misrepresented identification with respect to this t***saction, is a crime punishable as a felony under Federal law, and may also violate State and/or local law.
I further understand that the repetitive purchase of firearms for the purpose of resale to predominantly earn a profit without a Federal firearms license is a violation of Federal law.”
These questions must be answered correctly, reviewed by the seller or t***sferor, and signed by the person acquiring a firearm.
Additionally, a background check must be performed prior to completion of purchase/t***sfer.
