Nopeā¦.you would need to do a background checkā¦and since in order to have background checks on private sales you need to register all gunsā¦.you can't have background checks on private sales.
All you have to doā¦when you catch someone using gun illegallyā¦arrest themā¦problem solved. If you find out someone is knowingly selling guns to criminalsā¦set up a sting like you set up a sting for all other crimes. Again, problem solvedā¦and you didn't have to target normal gun ownersā¦ā¦sad for you, I knowā¦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
Nopeā¦the Sherrif saysā¦it will take 6 months to a year to free up the manpower to do your background check and cost 150 dollarsā¦..to sell a legal productā¦..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 jailā¦.saves the money, he time, the manpower and achieves the same resultā¦
but you just don't get to indulge in punishing a normal gun ownerā¦sucks for youā¦..
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
Seeā¦..all you have to do is skip the first 2 sentences of that post and you support exactly what I said. The other 2ā¦ā¦.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 gunsā¦you don't need background checks for an individual sale to do thatā¦..and you can already use current police techniques to catch anyone intentionally selling guns to felonsā¦
So background checks for private sales are unnecessaryā¦.
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 wouldā¦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 workā¦ā¦.to keep guns out of the hands of normal peopleā¦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 gunā¦the same way they do for gun stores, gun shows. They will send in someone with a clean record to buy my gunā¦making the extra time, money and hassle pointlessā¦.
Butā¦..as I have posted beforeā¦it will make "Transfers" of guns almost impossibleā¦.since the real goal is to make anytime a normal gun owner hands a gun to another person an illegal act without a background checkā¦..
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 vacationā¦.background checkā¦and to pick up your guns from that personā¦background checkā¦.to let your friend try your gun at the rangeā¦background checkā¦.to take a gun safety classā¦background checkā¦
The anti gunners cannot be trusted. They changed the word SALEā¦to TRANSFER for a reasonā¦ā¦..and I have posted more in depth discussions of those reasons beforeā¦..and it has nothing to do with keeping guns out of the hands of criminalsā¦.
Their goal is registrationā¦and later confiscationā¦ā¦.
