And every single transfer is through a licensed FFL who calls the FBI and runs an instant background check.
Thanks neverdem.

CRAIGSLIST? Guns are considered such a no-no on Craigslist that their hippie audience will flag away such an advertisement in seconds. Armslist is a completely different enterprise.
Yeah.
Only our government should be doing shady gun deals.
Craigslist is a left-leaning website and has NEVER listed firearms. WTF are they talking about?
It’s outrageous some of the things you can buy on Craig’s List without going through a background check. I saw a 2010 Maserati on there once. I was shocked at the idea that anyone in the world could just go out and buy one with no waiting period, no background check and no age limit either. They just had to have the money! It’s an outrage!
LOL!
Bloomie, Bloomie - I guess now that Elaine’s is closed you don’t really know what to do with yourself.
Why don’t you call your buddy Barry and see if he’ll let you tag along on the family’s next Hawaiian vacation...
“Craigslist is a left-leaning website and has NEVER listed firearms.”
I just searched Craigslist thoroughly. No guns. Accessories, but no mags.
Bloomberg can find some illegal gun sales. He can call the seller, Eric Holder directly.
Let’s pause a second and consider the amazingly stupid statements from Bloomberg and Company. How they can stand there with straight faces and outright lie in such outrageous ways is embarrassing because they are idiots or scary because this is Nazi like propaganda. I think they know better. I believe that they know they are telling falsehoods. They are low life gun grabbers. People in the freedom stealing business.
Bloomberg is such a tool. A guy that got lucky and made a few bucks. But that is all he is....
We don't want his kind messing around here anymore.
Those background checks aren't perfect, either. Some people who have no business with a firearm can pass them, while others have difficulty. My son has a friend who is a Marine veteran who served in Iraq and he gets delayed every single time he purchases a firearm.
The rest of the country never elected him God.
OK, and there's some reason we know that 40% of all US gun sales AREN'T conducted by hobbyists making occasional sales.....
“I just searched Craigslist thoroughly. No guns. Accessories, but no mags.”
The ads rarely say rifle, pistol, or gun. I bought a Mauser off CL last year. Found it while looking for scopes.

I’ve never seen a gun listed on craigslist. And I’m on there regularly. Anyone who tries will get the listing taken down very quickly. They even flag accessory postings quite often.
Is this really on the books in all 50 states? The author mixes and matches NY laws with those of Virginia and Arizona to make his point while forgetting that the people of those states get to decide for themselves. He also employs a clever slight of hand here by quoting the "reasonable cause to believe" part of the law but then insert his unquoted felon, fugitive or fruitcake comments, making it appear as a citation of some actual law that is being broken. Most states have no such requirement.
The federal government does not have a monopoly on the regulation of firearms transactions...only those that cross state lines (interstate commerce) and involve federally licensed dealers. Face to face, private sales between residents of a state is not a loophole, it is an intentional arrangment to protect the 2A rights of citizens, something Bloomie and his gang of gun grabbing Mayors seems to forget
Mayor Bloomberg slams Craigslist over LEGAL gun sales
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said:
“We shouldn't have to wait for the assassination of a president or the killing of a police officer to dismantle a conduit bringing illicit guns into the city,”
No mention of Mayors.....
