I ask again: if a transfer of firearms is occurring without the requisite paperwork (as it seems it must in 'no questions asked' "buy backs"), is not federal and state law being violated (multiple counts)?

Why does not some concerned citizen alert the BATF that the mayor, chief of police, et al are carrying on illegal trafficking in firearms right now at the corner of 4th and Main?...

State laws vary of course, but federal law does not require any paperwork unless the seller is a federally licensed firearms dealer. It illegal, under federal law, to be engaged in the business of buying and selling firearms without a license. I'm sure this would not count as being engaged in the business, because the intent is not to make money. Florida, and the federales, require background checks of purchasers, not sellers. Law enforcement agencies are exempt from these requirements (as usual)
