Nope….you would need to do a background check…and since in order to have background checks on private sales you need to register all guns….you can't have background checks on private sales.
All you have to do…when you catch someone using gun illegally…arrest them…problem solved. If you find out someone is knowingly selling guns to criminals…set up a sting like you set up a sting for all other crimes. Again, problem solved…and you didn't have to target normal gun owners……sad for you, I know…but it actually will stop criminals...
You meet a guy in a bar who is interested in buying the gun you are bragging about. You call the local Sheriff for a background check. If it comes back clean...you are off the hook
You meet a guy in the bar who is interested in buying your gun. You walk out to the parking lot and sell it to him. Turns out the guy is a criminal. You go to jail
Seems fair
Nope…the Sherrif says…it will take 6 months to a year to free up the manpower to do your background check and cost 150 dollars…..to sell a legal product…..that is a non starter.
The guy buys a gun, knowing that he cannot legally own the gun. He gets caught. You arrest him and send him to jail….saves the money, he time, the manpower and achieves the same result…
but you just don't get to indulge in punishing a normal gun owner…sucks for you…..
Then you will have to wait
You don't want to sell a gun to a criminal do you?
You sell a gun to a criminal. The criminal rats you out
You go to jail....Justice is servedThen you will have to wait
You don't want to sell a gun to a criminal do you?
You sell a gun to a criminal. The criminal rats you out
You go to jail....Justice is served
See…..all you have to do is skip the first 2 sentences of that post and you support exactly what I said. The other 2…….If I sell a gun to a family member I do not need to get a background check. And the sole purpose to background checks on individual sales is to get universal gun registration.
You can already arrest criminals who own or carry guns…you don't need background checks for an individual sale to do that…..and you can already use current police techniques to catch anyone intentionally selling guns to felons…
So background checks for private sales are unnecessary….
The purpose of background checks is to make sure you are not selling guns to criminals
Wouldn't you, as a gun owner, want to know that?
Yes I would…but I will never support mandating it for private sales..since the goal is registration of guns, the only way universal background checks could ever work…….to keep guns out of the hands of normal people…since criminals will never experience a background check before they get their illegal gun.
Criminals will simply use someone with a clean record to buy my individual gun…the same way they do for gun stores, gun shows. They will send in someone with a clean record to buy my gun…making the extra time, money and hassle pointless….
But…..as I have posted before…it will make "Transfers" of guns almost impossible….since the real goal is to make anytime a normal gun owner hands a gun to another person an illegal act without a background check…..
Since the anti gunners have changed the word "Sale" to "Transfer" in order to attack normal gun owners. That way if you want someone to watch your guns while you are on vacation….background check…and to pick up your guns from that person…background check….to let your friend try your gun at the range…background check….to take a gun safety class…background check…
The anti gunners cannot be trusted. They changed the word SALE…to TRANSFER for a reason……..and I have posted more in depth discussions of those reasons before…..and it has nothing to do with keeping guns out of the hands of criminals….
Their goal is registration…and later confiscation…….
