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.

Maryland state police.
