1. This is simply private transfers.

Inclusive of; Newspaper Classifieds, watercooler chit chat, cork boards, gun shows (private sellers), family inheritance, gifts, etc.

Probably should just call it what it is; private transfers.


(Not impossible to regulate, either. License owners, or require all transfers go through FFL background check.)

2. A little more detail from

an NBC News report:

"The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to consider whether the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms applies outside the home, taking a pass on a hot topic that has divided the lower courts."

"In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to possess a gun at home for self-defense. Since then, the lower courts have split over the nature of gun rights beyond the home."

"The Obama administration defended the federal law restricting handgun sales to minors. Congress acted after finding that young offenders were especially prone to misusing firearms, the government says. The federal law was meant to prevent minors from crossing state lines to buy guns that they could not get legally in the own states, it says."

Even though the pro-gun lobby believes that it has won the battle on CCW, SYG, and guns-for-everyone -- it clearly has not. Handguns in the hands of immature minors is a proven recipe for disaster and that is why the Congress stepped in to curtail the practice. The matter of an absolute right to carry concealed lethal weapons in the public venue is yet to be decided, and no matter the outcome the various states will retain the option for stiff regulations and penalties for non-compliance.
