What if?

[battle_sight_zero]

Many of us have done a private sale or trade of a firearm on here. It seems that a weapon purchase at a store or gunshop could be tracked easily these days. I speculate about what reprucusions one would face if the person you traded or sold with went on a rampage with the trade or sell item afterwards. Sounds like to me the media would would be out to outright destroy the originals owners reputation. All this despite that it is legal to do so would not matter to the general population.

I am just curious I am not Trolling, just curious if anyone has thought about this too.

I do lots of trades and sales. Life's too short to worry too much about it. I do what I can to make sure it's a legal deal.

Takes 2-3 days tops to find out point of origin. A CA pd called me regarding a gun i sold 17? years ago. They got a little "irked" when i asked if i could buy it back.

What happened? Why did they want that info from so long ago?

IMHO, private firearm purchase can be easily traced if they need to.
This is why BOS is so waste of time.
We have email,IP, PM,, and cell/home phone # to communicate with buyer and seller. I think that would be good enough.

Crime there, i purchased here. How it ended up in CA years later is anyone's guess. IIRC i traded it off to a vendor many years ago for something else. You know those wacky gun nuts, buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, trade, trade.

Hopefully the guy I sold my jeep to doesn't run down a mob of people someday. I'd hate to get that call.

... oh wait, they wouldn't find the need to check on ANY other item short of a bomb to see who sold it.

Stupid.

Jim, I would have loved to see the face of the cop, when you asked to buy it back. Although I can definitely see you doing that!
