I'd that were a requirement for private sales, the onus would be on the seller to submit the background check to a FFD. If he doesn't, he would be a criminal. Do you know how easy it is to buy a gun off the street in any city?
Oh hi I'd like to buy your gun.
Sure. Let's fill out this paperwork
Uh..... No thanks.
Walks away thinking damn. I'll never get a gun.
1 to 10 how likely would this happen?
Lol
This is the summary of HR 8. The seller engages a licensed gun dealer to handle the sales / transfers
Shown Here:
Passed House (02/27/2019)
Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019
This bill establishes new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties (i.e., unlicensed individuals).
Specifically, it prohibits a firearm transfer between private parties unless a licensed gun dealer, manufacturer, or importer first takes possession of the firearm to conduct a background check.
The prohibition does not apply to certain firearm transfers, such as a gift between spouses in good faith.
Asking how easy it is to "buy a gun off the street" is a red herring. Irrelevant to the bill.
