I was pleasantly surprised to read about a couple of recent
convictions in Florida. I believe one was for lying on the purchase
questionaire.

The Feds have their hooks well set it appears. 10 years with no
possible parole is not a walk in the park.

Not that this is the case with your cites, but I wonder sometimes about
purchases of firearms as gifts for other people. I assume if the
ultimate recipient is named on the paperwork, that person is checked out
on the instant check, at least, though I would think the actual
purchaser is also checked out.

Gifts could have a couple scenarios. I am going to gift a 22 rifle that
was my dad’s to my son in law. He already legally owns a pistol or two.
One he bought and one was his dad’s service revolver. His late dad was an
Los Angeles cop.

Gun laws seem incredibly inconsistent. If you buy a new rifle from a
dealer in Maryland, there's only the federal instant check. When I sold
a used rifle to a friend of a friend here in Maryland, I called the
state police to see if there were paperwork or background requirements,
and there were no federal requirements, either.

The ATF Form 4473 allows the purchase of a gun as a gift without naming the recipient. How do you
think all those Chicago boys get their guns?

Boy gives momma the money, momma goes out of town (Chuck's Gun Shop maybe), buys the gun with all
the correct answers on the 4473, and gives boy the gun. Amen.

Hey, it was a 'gift'.

I've often thought about that. Without a proper paper trail it seems it
could get very cloudy as to where a gun came from and where it ends up.
For that reason, I'd never purchase a gun and give it as a gift. I
think all transactions should be through a FFL.

If someone wants a gun they can do like the rest of us do ... apply,
undergo a background check ... and become responsible and accountable
for it's location.

And how much does this cost?

In Massachusetts it costs $100 and the permit is good for six years.
$100 again to renew for another 6 years. Free over age of 70.

Other than that, there are no additional charges to purchase a firearm
other than the cost of the firearm itself.
