Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.
How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump...
FFL dealers can only sell to residents of states in which they are licensed to operate. It is unlawful for a resident of one state to sell to a resident of another state, without involving an FFL dealer licensed in the receiver's state.
Has every state closed the gun show loophole yet?
Irrelevant to the issue at hand: Even private sales are prohibited between residents of different states unless the sale is conducted through an FFL dealer in the buyer's/recipient's state.
But to answer your question: Very few states restrict private sales beyond federal requirements.
The only viable means of being able to reliably prosecute private sales to prohibited persons is to make NICS checks available, freely and anonymously, to the general public. With such checks readily and freely available, sellers cannot reasonably argue that they "didn't know" someone was a prohibited buyer. With those checks available, "I didn't know" is no longer exculpatory evidence. With those checks available, you can reasonably know their status; you should know their status; your failure to check is evidence of criminal negligence.
But every time "Public Access to NICS" has been proposed in the past 20+ years, Democratic leadership stops it, because it conflicts with their "no guns for anyone" ideology.
Broadly yes, and also including private sales. I will however point out that you can buy a long gun (rifle or shotgun) from an FFL dealer in a state other than your state of residence provided the item you purchase is legal in your home state. Handguns in this situation must be transferred to an FFL in your home state, however. The former you can take with you, the latter you can't.
