I'm asking what is the legal/logical reason for requiring background checks for dealers but not for private transactions.
Because they're allowed the privilege to buy and sell guns through the mail. Because Oswald bought the Carcano through the mail, this was nixed for private citizens.
Private face-to-face transactions are not regulated and have never been regulated.
What is the legal/logical reason for requiring background checks for these transactions?

Late to the party today. Is this terrorism or not?
Of course it is, but it's white, pro 2A people's fault according to liberals.

The term organized militia was originated in the early 1900's.
The militia that the forefathers spoke of when founding this country was made up of ALL able-bodied citizens.

"That's a military tactic for a sustained fight," the source told Fox News of the rollout bags.
How the hell is that a "military tactic"?
He completely filled his tank with fuel. That's a known military tactic for driving long distances!

The couple also had GoPro cameras strapped to their body armor and wore tactical clothing, including vests stuffed with ammunition magazines.
That pretty much kills the workplace rampage scenario.
Eta- on second thought I don't need to see innocent civilians getting killed. I would watch the gun battle afterwards though.

National Guard is chiefly Title 32. They are under the C2 of the State's Governor and TAG when on Title 32 or SAD. They can be Federalized to Title 10 status under the C2 of the President if permitted by the Governor.

The increased frequency of mass shootings shootings is alarming.
Another lie. The media is hyper-focused on them, historically we are seeing the same frequency over the last 2.5 decades which is lower than it was in the 3 decades prior to that.
Hmmmmm...who to believe? Do I go with Harvard research and the FBI? Or Tigerdroppings poster Clames?
quote:
According to a report released last October, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found that the rate of all mass shootings in America had essentially tripled in the previous three years.
Between 1982 and late 2011, mass shootings occurred about every 200 days. But after September 2011, the rate of mass shootings increased to about once every 64 days, according to the Harvard researchers.
WASHINGTON —
quote:
A report released by the F.B.I. on Wednesday confirmed what many Americans had feared but law enforcement officials had never documented: Mass shootings have risen drastically in the past half-dozen years.
There were, on average, 16.4 such shootings a year from 2007 to 2013, compared with an average of 6.4 shootings annually from 2000 to 2006. In the past 13 years, 486 people have been killed in such shootings, with 366 of the deaths in the past seven years. In all, the study looked at 160 shootings since 2000. (Shootings tied to domestic violence and gangs were not included.)
It appears that the research supports the fact that there ARE in fact increased frequency of mass shootings. It's not the media claiming it. It's research fact.

You're completely missing the point. It is damn near impossible to discuss gun control on this board without useless hyperbole from both sides.
Maybe take all the political stuff over to the Political Board. Just call it a hunch, but you may get a better debate over there.

FIFY
Watch the liberals' head explode when you suggest that we should go back to only allowing the "militia" as it was once understood to own guns.

Same here, but it's no clear indicator to me. Then again, I don't know the full story either.

That alone won't deter them - the disgruntled gay, black reporter that killed his former colleagues wore a GoPro.
It's a millennial thing.

REALLY. So loony whites don't carry out shootings on innocent people? Never happens.

The neighbor was afraid of being labeled a racist. Wonder where she got that from?

Because dealers can sell guns across state lines. Private parties cannot.
And not all states allow the private sale of firearms.

I would be interested in seeing the metrics used for that study.

Did they ever identify the guy that they took into custody?

Good job being hyperbolic. In Turkey you are arrested for insulting the Peesident. A man is facing jail time for creating a meme comparing Erdogan to Gollum. That's an example of limited speech. Have some perspective.
