My question is this - - -> How much "due diligence " does the SELLER owe the state ??
To stay out of jail do we have to ask the buyer if he is 21. If he is a convicted felon. If he can legally own a firearm in the state of Fla ?? If he is a wacko,nutcase,screwball ?? If he just got finished beating his wife or family pet ??
What are my responsibilities during a sale given the prospective buyer could be a undercover ATF,FBI,CIA,NAACP,or #metoo, agent ??
I do not have access to the background check database. So what the fork does the state,feds,or other, want from little ol' me ??
I'll give 'em a good dose of common sense . . . but beyond that . . . WHAT ?? --- SAWMAN
About all the average person can do is log onto the local county court records site
and look up the person's name, to see what they've done in that county.
They really DO need to set up a BATF line for private sales, in fact.
Heck, if they're really serious about keeping guns out of bad guy's hands,
that's the best thing I could think of.
But if they did something like that, it might mean requiring a 4473 for EVERY sale,
both FFL & Private.
I'd be cool with that. As long as, in case of Democrat Tyranny,
we simply burn all the 4473's if they get gun-grabby.
