Best case: Ineffective. Waste of time. Waste of money. Inconveniencing innocent people simply exercising their rights. Dems DON'T want to inconvenience illegals who want to vote by producing an ID... nor do they want to prove a person's credentials to run for President, but suddenly we need to jump through hoops to own a gun.
Ripe for worst case scenario: Databases, registration, arbitrary denial (think "no fly list"), expanded categories (think felon, misdemeanor DV, restraining order, mental health issues, etc.... rumors that ANY assault charge, drug charge, etc. may be a prohibiting qualifyer...). Ultimately you're on lists when it comes to confiscation.
Lots of dangerous things can be sold FTF without hoops.... why are guns so special?
Cars, knives, gas, chainsaws, hatchets, bows, arrows, rope, lighters, glass bottles, cloth, etc. A creative person can do a lot of damage with the things I've just listed...
