Background checks and trading

[Irving]

Chad, the FFL can't run the background check without adding the firearm to their log books. I asked the exact same question as you.

I guess as the seller, you better make sure you can pass a BG check before you try to sell, this is such horse sh$t! So let's say this turns into a frequent occurrence, I wonder what happens to all these firearms that don't have homes?

Problem with that, is that you can't just get a background check to test and make sure you can pass.

On display with the other used / trade in guns.

Better yet, since someone who failed a BCG is attempting a sale to someone else who failed a BCG, they have obviously shown that they are irresponsible people and should have their guns confiscated by the ATF...it's for the children, you know.

ETA: Scary thought. What if the requirements for passing a BCG get ridiculously stringent, or say a person is BOLO'd for a closer look. If you are a person who has never failed a check (and never would under normal circumstances), you could walk into an FFL and suddenly find that you are unable to legally own guns...and now your name has popped up on CBI's new hardware, paid for with every $10 fee.

Just saying.

I asked one of the folks at Green Mountain Guns about how they we will handle the sales between people, and he said that they are not going to handle those transactions because 10 dollars does not cover expense to the business. I wonder how many other dealers are going to do the same.

Sadly, we will not be facilitating person-to-person transfers for this very reason.

Great point, what if most gun dealers refuse to do private sale BGC? Will they need to keep the transaction 'on file' like any other sale per law? Sounds like a hassle to me and not worth the time for a shop owner. Thoughts?

Sounds like just what the Dems wanted, no more private party sales period...

Yes, all BATF rules will need to be followed including entering the firearms into the bound book and then transferred to the new owner & also maintaining the 4473 records.

I absolutely agree!!
