(54,770 posts)70. Needs to go through FFL, who will maintain records, be accountable for following rules, etc.
Otherwise, your neighbor could get you identifying info and run a check on you to see if you have ever done anything that would prohibit you from owning a gun.
It will change something -- the guy who can't pass a BG check can't wait for the next gun show to arrive and go down and ask around to find a table run by a "dealer" (who is not deemed a "dealer" because he doesn't traffick guns often enough to meet the criteria). That is just flat wrong.
I'd even go as far as to require BG checks for transferring a gun to relatives, friends, etc.
Thus, NRA President Keene -- who raised his son in the gun culture -- would have to run a background check on his son to give him a gun when he gets out of prison for shooting a motorist in a road rage incident.
