If it passes the Senate and is signed into law by President Biden, it would result in new background check requirements for all gun transfers conducted by private parties.
As it currently stands, unlicensed or “private sellers” are not required to conduct a background check for transfers on firearms, and this includes sales made at gun shows – which has resulted in opponents of such transactions calling this the “gun show loophole,” and additionally have argued this is how many criminals obtain their firearms. All licensed dealers, including those who sell at gun shows, are in fact required to conduct a background check.

Yes, in 30 seconds one could find out if you're an oathkeeper and deny the sale
The forecast: widespread noncompliance accompanied by occasional showers of hot lead and brass.

Does that include gifts and bequeaths to friends and relatives? Wondering.

And it will be as honored by the citizens as the 18th Amendment was between 1919 and 1933.
You bought from a licensed seller. I purchased an intact Mosin Nagant from a private seller with no background check except for his talking to me (He was a retired chaplain - LOL).
***What they really seek are gun bans.***
Absolutely true. Back between 1962 and 1985, when handguns were the target here is how they proposed to ban them.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc. (Now the Brady Center)
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed. Then Josh Sugarmann tuned in. This has been the mantra ever since.
“ Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
So, if they can get a ban on AW rifles rest assured they will be back for their original target HANDGUNS.
Something to remember....
When it comes to negotiating with the anti-gun congress, what will you demand from them in order to give up your AW rifles and high cap magazines?
You have the guns, and the magazines. What do they have? NOTHING! Always remember that. They have NOTHING that they will give up. It is all “TAKE” with the Democrats.
If they get a ban on AW rifles and magazines they will be back for another ban of their original target HANDGUNS.
Then when another Charles Whitman kills a large number of people with a Remington 700 6MM rifle they will demand a ban on bolt action rifles.
Sure. The whole “gun show loophole” could as easily be called an “unlicensed sale loophole.” Private transfers, and eventually private ownership are what they want to do away with. The Mosin-Nagant should be safe for a while. Bolt action, and far too long for shooting your eye out.
I think anyone that advocates for infringing or restricting any inalienable Right Secured and Guaranteed in the US Constitution should be Prohibited from using, owning or possessing any item or product used in exercising said right.
My M44 is pretty short (carbine). Will be selling it, though; I’m getting a bit frail for that kind of recoil.
A father could not loan a gun to his child to go hunting for a while. They finally worked something out for High School hunting programs. A sheriff was not allowed to transport guns even to remove from a house in the way of a forest fire with the owner around without a background check. One of our idiots in the house decided that a magazine was ok after all the rounds were shot out of it. She was so stupid that she did not know that a magazine could be reloaded.
Many from El Salvador in Los Angeles area are still making guns no paper work required laws are only for honest people.
Are these the same bozos that did 'Am Shoot Urinal' (or whatever they called it)? Or is this an entirely new bunch of bozos??
;^)
New bunch, believe it or not.
Well, it is 2021 - about the only thing America is short of, is constitutional law (and the freedom it engenders). No shortage of bozos, grifters, liars, cheats, thieves, and other assorted @ss-clowns...
