How about we just get rid of "private sale" exceptions to background checks in states like Tennessee to slow the tide of guns flowing into the black market?

In Tennessee, one has to buy liquor from the government, but can buy a gun (including semi-auto rifles) from a random person in a parking lot. No questions asked.

I know a person who actually obtained a handgun this way. In a parking lot of a bar on Florida, from a seller who was in his lunch break as an electrician... I'll let those details sink in for anyone safety oriented.

O noooo, a bar parking lot...the humanity....did this someone you know go on to become a serial killer? Or do you still know them and they're a normal person.

Most firearms are semi-auto.... what's your point? You clearly don't know much about firearms with a statement like that.

You can do this in pretty much every state as well. Private sales are legal basically in the entire USA.
