I’m shocked that this is news to anyone.
I’ve bought guns from individuals.. without a background check.
A couple of them I got from my dad.. without a background check.
What I thought funny is that I traded one.. a 12 gauge “goose gun” for a Savage .22 rifle at a gun shop and had to go through a background check.
I axed them if I should be checking on them too as part of the deal.. since they were getting a gun too.
They didn’t get the joke.
Humorless barstards.
That's why they are always talking about the "gunshow loophole". Most gun sold at a gunshow involve a background check. You will notice that the states closing that "loophole" are also requiring background checks for guns given or sold to relatives. A lot of the guns that were purchased before background checks are being passed on to relatives. They want those guns on the books.
