Per Bruce W, Krafft:
According to the Denver Post's numbers there were 396,955 CBI checks in 2013. The new law took effect in July, so it would only have affected half of the sales year (and yeah, these are really rough numbers). So if there were 198,477.5 FFL sales then according to the Brady's "40%" figure, there should have been 79,391 private sales to go with them. But the Post article says there were only "6,198 checks run for private gun sales from July".I'll go with the eye color hypothesis.
So where are the other 73,193 private sales checks? Or is it possible that they are so full of **** that their eyes are brown, and private sales in fact made up only a bit more than 3%?
Logically, of course, untraced private sales should be 100%, as it is for kitchen matches and steak knives. And should be for everything else.

This is the crux of the thing, and there will be no meaningful change until people accept that and simply prepare to defend themselves against actual aggression.
