Checks on private sales means that when the jackboots come to collect your gun you could no longer plausibly say that it was sold to a private party. It makes registration and confiscation a real possibility.
How long does the federal government require that firearms dealers retain records of background checks.
Is there a difference in the length of time that they can be legally retained vs. How long they really are retained?
Is there some back door method in which data is moved into a different database to skirt retention laws?
I'm thinking that the goal of this is defacto gun registration of ALL gun sales.
How would they know?
Right now the forms have to be kept by FFLs for 20 years before they can be destroyed and the government only has access to them as part of criminal investigations.
However, if the FFL goes out of business, the FFL has to turn the forms over to the feds immediately. A lot of people don't know that.
IMHO they will try and make a play to put all these forms into a government database “for the sake of our children”.
Since private sales skirt the form 4473, they will first focus on private sales.
Biden is an enemy of the people.
Good luck Joe. What part of private sale did you not understand ? Nobody knows about it moron.
Joe, we will not comply. Go pound it.
The *only* way private gun sales can be regulated is that if *both* the seller and the buyer, *and* the gun, are registered with the government.
And I don’t mean just a background check where the government either requires gun sellers to preserve all the information so it can be obtained at government request; or conveniently “forgets” to not destroy the information when it is supposed to.
I’m talking full registration.
Think you’re gonna do that Joe? “Shall not be infringed” means just that. Brain damaged plug infested moron.
All private gun sales in California must go through an FFL. 10 day wait and background check. It hasn’t done squat to reduce crime. In fact, I guarantee it has gotten people (most likely women) killed because there is no legal way for the average citizen to get a gun without the 10 day wait.
The low information vice-president will need to explain how the president can accomplish this.
..closed door meeting on gun-control...
So much for transparency...Npt that I was expecting it...
I guess they believe that a lightning attack (infringements) on our right to keep and bear arms per that pesky document and its Second Amendment will go over better if the people don’t see it coming in time...
Hehehe, another poor assumption on their part...They already know it’s coming, and they might as well play it out, they believe they can weather the storm...
