A background check is really not an inconvenience. It is certainly not a problem for people at a dealer in the city but a rancher in Montana might disagree if he just wants to give his son an old gun. I could accept and understand exceptions for in-family "gifts". How about selling it to your neighbor? Nope. I don't know how it works in other states but here in MA a background check is done when you apply for a permit. Once issued, it is good for six years after which you apply for a renewal and a check is done again. During the time you hold the permit a quick state check (via phone or computer) is done by the FFL dealer whenever you purchase a firearm to ensure the permit is still in good standing and has not been revoked for any reason. Private sales may be made to other MA residents by going on-line, providing both his and your permit numbers, the firearm type and serial number and current addresses. If no issues, you are done and the sale is legal. You are assuming a rural state really wants to spend money maintaining a system like that for such a small number of transactions and such a low crime rate, thus a low rate of return on the investment. In the places that drive the national crime rate, guns are still illegally trafficked with no problem. If we are going to pass a law, why not just make murder illegal? That is the best gun-control line I've heard yet! |
