Shows only information relevant to the gun purchase, such as:

Provides a report to the gun buyer about eligibility
Provides a simple process for a person to challenge the report, in case of mistaken informationTo help gun dealers that travel, such as with gun shows, I think the background check system needs to be available as an app on Android system, iPhones, or iPads. Falling between gun ownership and gun use is the waiting period. Today, there is no federal waiting period between purchasing a gun and taking possession of that gun, though several states have different regulations about this. The reasoning for a waiting period is that a waiting period creates time for someone who is buying the guy angry to calm down and not do something stupid in the heat of the moment. But if a gun safety course is a prerequisite to buying a gun, there already is a built in waiting period, and we don't need a second one. The third part of gun control, gun use, is already covered by current laws. Killing neighbors for playing music loudly - illegal. Killing a person breaking into your house - legal. You might notice that I did not mention tracking gun owners, because that is not part of gun control. We do not need state or federal databases of who owns which gun, and allowing the government to track the situation is to voluntarily give back some civil liberty. I realized that this is a problem when the Journal News published an online map of gun owners in the New York counties of Westchester and Rockland. At first, I felt furious that this newspaper would violate people's rights with such a stunt. Then I realized that the newspaper simply used an existing database to pull the information, and I wondered why the database existed in the first place. Does the government really need to know who owns a particular gun? What would you do, if you could create your own gun control?
