Not sure about them being a federal felony. Were the sellers officially
"dealers"? As I understand current federal laws, if
they are not dealers, a background check is not required. Correct me
if I am wrong please.

GCA 68 forbids purchase out of state and all of these purchases were
outside of Georgia where the CNN people live. (private or FFL sale)
Taking those illegally purchased guns across a state line is another
felony, each time.
I posted the statute numbers the last time we had this discussion.


My understanding of his executive action is that *all* transactions
will require a background check, FFL dealer or casual seller.

So much for your other note about a rare casual sale.

As for the state laws, yes, I think I recall it mentioned that the
seller was supposed to verify the buyer's address to make sure he
was not from out of state. Only one of the sellers did so, IIRC.

Most states mirror the federal law. Yours actually goes far beyond but
you know that
