Basically, they want to make it ILLEGAL for me to sell a gun I own to you, without doing a background check. Now, just HOW is a private citizen to conduct a background check?
This will be a BOON to gun store owners, since we would not be able to sell our weapons any longer.
“This will be a BOON to gun store owners, since we would not be able to sell our weapons any longer.”
Sure. If this passes, any and all private sales and transfers of ownership such as gifts and inheritance’s will have to be processed through a FFL owner. It won’t take these people to figure out that there’s lot s of easy money to be made out of this. Example; if someone owns ten guns of various types and the transfer process fee is lets say $100 per gun that would cost whoever should inherit them $1,000 to transfer ownership. Failure to o this would mean that these guns would have to be relinquished to the government of course. It would take a couple of generations to cycle all of the guns in private hands through this processs but it would eventually mean that every gun would be listed in the government data base.

Wanna bet? You have a firearm and a neighbor wants to trade a firearm and cash for it.
You make the trade.
You can do the same with knives, cattle, garage sales, trucks, tractors, lawn mowers, snow blowers, weed eaters.
It is your property and you can give it away if you want to as the FEDS have no list of what you own, if you have been smart about how to buy.
I've read the way the govn. bill in the senate and house reads, and to make a private gun sale, you would have to go to a gun dealer to do the background check and paperwork and pay the gun dealer for doing that. If you didn't do that, the sale would be illegal, however, right now, no one could trace the gun so you would probably be safe in doing a private sale.
However, when they get the serial numbers of our guns by whatever means resulting in registration, they could trace your gun and find out you illegally sold it - then, they have you and it's a big fine and jail.
The second amendment reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
It is definitely infringement when they screw with your buying or selling guns or limiting magazines or limiting the amount of ammo you buy and certainly cutting off web purchases of guns or ammo is infringement. Plus, British pos Piers Morgan needs to go to any country where people can't have guns - then he would be happy. He doesn't like our having guns, so why doesn't he get the hell out of here and go to a “safe” country where no one can have them.
THIS MORNING, CHEAPER THAN DIRT HAS 22 LR CCI HOLLOW POINTS - BOXES OF 100. IF YOU NEED THOSE, GO RIGHT NOW AND SEE IF THEY STILL HAVE SOME. I WOULD BET THEY WILL BE OUT SOMETIME TODAY. IT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HAD THEM IN AT LEAST TWO MONTHS - THEY ARE IN STOCK.
