I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. In most
states
you must have a background check to obtain a permit. What's the
big
deal about verifying that the permit is valid for both seller and
buyer in a private transfer? Again, it only takes a few minutes.
It's *verifying* the permit, not doing a new background check
each
time.

The fuss is that exercising most of your civil rights doesn't
require
prior government
approval. Why should selling a firearm require government approval?

--------------------------------------------------------

The government doesn't give approval. The government would only
flag
and disapprove, based on a valid reason.
Nobody's rights are violated, including those of felons.

When my applicaiton to purchase a regulated firearm in Maryland is
processed it will come
back as disapproved or not disapproved.

Semantics. The bottom line is that the purpose of a background check
is to make sure you are legally entitled to buy the firearm.
The real "approval" is by whatever agency in Maryland regulates
firearm permits and purchases.
