If approved by voters, the measure would require background checks to be run on every person purchasing a gun in the state of Washington, even those who are doing so via private sales. However, transfers of antique guns and those between immediate family members would be exempt from the background checks. The measure also requires that dealers who are facilitating gun transfers - whether they are through the licensed dealer or a private seller - receive confirmation in writing from the chief of police or sheriff that the purchaser in question “is eligible to possess a pistol [...] and that the application to purchase is approved by the chief of police or sheriff.” Furthermore, the initiative would render it illegal to hand off a firearm to people outside a person’s immediate family, though exceptions are mentioned, including situations in which people are at a shooting range or hunting.

And don’t forget the 10-day waiting period for handgun transfers/loans.

Yeah that will work.
