Freedom works both ways. Sellers have the freedom to attach whatever conditions they want to the sale to protect their own asses, comply with the law as they see it or just to make them comfortable. Buyers have the freedom to NOT buy from sellers who they think are unreasonable in price or condition.

Why the kvetching? OP posted to let sellers know he's concerned about the recent prevalence of sellers wanting FFL transfers or background checks. Ed posted to let buyers know why he insists on it. Both points of view are reasonable so why thrash at each other instead of thrashing at the unreasonable morons in Denver government or the DNC?

The Brady Bunch, DNC, Obama, etc. are the REAL enemy -- quit spewing at fellow shooters unless they give you real cause (like being unsafe, unreasonable scofflaws, etc.).

I agree with this. The only thing I would add is when a buyer does attach the condition that it must go through a FFL and background check that it should be asked if they are requiring the conditions because they think the law says they need to or if they are doing it for their own reasons. As long as they acknowledge that FTF sales are legal then I'm fine with them putting the condition.
