So how is this accomplished without benefit of a background check, the

Dealers do background checks on firearm transfers whether it is a
"stocked" item or a gun from their private stash .. That is federal
law.
Private sellers do not have access to the NCIC database so we don't
know how many of them would use it.
Dance, dance, dance Mr NRA.
Private sellers can use a FFL's access to NCIC. In some
states that would be easier than filling out state forms.
And no, I don't expect states to repeal their more
restrictive gun sales laws.
I gather Mr Krause uses a FFL for his private gun sales.
He can speak to the unbearable pain and cost that
entails.
You're just a cheapskate, and anti-regulation.
And we know exactly who would use NCIC if it was required
by law for private sales.
Law-abiders. Simple as that.
And you can't dance out of it.
Actually, the few times I have sold a firearm, I have used
an FFL. Once it cost me $10 or so because the buyer and I split the cost.
I shipped my recently sold CZ pistol via UPS to my buyer's FFL. The
buyer paid for the shipping and the FFL's services. I've heard of idiots
who have used the US Postal Service to ship pistols to try to save a few
bucks. That is a no-no.
I've never found the firearms background check system to be anything but
a good idea. It certainly isn't inconvenient in Maryland to wait a week
or 10 days for the state police to run their check on a pistol purchase.
I've never needed a pistol "in a hurry." There's no delay here for
buying a rifle or shotgun.
We have changes coming in Maryland in a few months in gun purchases.
None of them will inconvenience me.
