Texas Target Shooter

We can do both. Backgrounds checks help insure the sales are to legally permissible buyers.

I’m all for background checks.

Same. I am a Bill of Rights Nut, but a good background check system can be tailored to protect us, our rights, and the childrenz. Primarily it needs to be kept up to date.

I’d be shocked if he obtained this gun through legal channels. Because it is easy for people to steal or gain access to guns illegally, the focus needs to be on preventing illegal access to firearms.

Didn't Hunter Biden buy a .39 Cal pistol while a full fledged addict?
He filled our the paperwork and lied even about his discharge from the Navy? It was on less than honorable conditions..

And part of that will be access to their Medical information

That is not going to happen because you won't get anywhere trying to change HIPAA laws.

Unless to buy a firearm there is an automatic waiver that you either sign off on or bow out of the purchase

No Red Flag laws to take them back.

But yes I agree.

The problem with red flag laws is that all it takes is someone to "claim" their neighbor was seen exhibiting irrational behavior or threatening behavior against them, when it may just be a case of someone who hates people owning firearms and falsely claims they were threatened, if they happen to know you are a firearms owner and if you have no witnesses, they cops still take them away. States with red flag laws have policies that you can get your firearms back within a year, IF you present evidence to the contrary to the complainant and if it's just some clown that doesn't want you having firearms and knows you have no witnesses to his claim, you'll never get them back.. It's just a gun grab no matter how you look at it.

Like I said, you will never get that law passed. It's a pipe dream!

End FtoF private Sales Nationwide

End FtoF private Sales Nationwide

No way. That was one the reasons Walmart has such big parking lots.

Ok so to keep FtoF and intra Familial Transfers , the HIPPA waiver seems more doable ?

The vast majority of FtoF transfers that take place in a Walmart parking lot never resulted in a shooting. If it weren't for deals like those, Amish folks wouldn't have any guns. Lot of folks do transactions that way, especially in rural areas.

Don't ask me how I know that.
