"Encouraging the right thing" is not a sufficient basis for a new federal law that expands federal authority.
Imposing criminal liability on every individual everywhere who otherwise legally transfers a firearm, the transfer by which the right described in the Second Amendment is exercised, imposes a criminal liability on the exercise a valid and fundamental constitutional right. The proposal is not narrowly tailored; on the contrary it is so broad that the word universal is the common description for its scope.
