Not bad for the whole deal John. I'll ask my brother about where he got his and see if it came with the whole kit. Pricing too

I have a son-in-law who loves guns. Might make him a nice Christmas
present.

Dick would make it illegal for you to give it to him.

Not at all. If John's son-in-law has had a background check, is legally
permitted to own a firearm and the serial number is registered in his
name upon transfer... all is good.

He could not just "give it to him" then could he?
In a universal background state he would essentially have to go to a
FFL and "sell" it to him after paying a commission to the FFL for
handling the paperwork. Then he would have to jump through whatever
hoops the state has to register it. (after John had originally
registered it when he bought it)

All of this with no actual demonstrated benefit.

Yes.

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous to you now John, but most likely a law coming to your
neighborhood in the not too distant future.

That's exactly part of the law in Massachusetts and has been since 1998.
I believe it's now part of gun laws (or a very similar version of) in
Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and in several
other states that previously had much more "relaxed" gun laws.

The concept is to prevent guns from being sold to people who are
prohibited from owning one.

Yes, I know, criminals will still have access to guns and people who
pass background checks can still go off their rocker. But at least it
creates a traceable paper trail of ownership.
