I'm surprised no one has suggested extending the NICS system to allow for private sellers to access directly. If privacy is an issue, potential buyers could be given a PIN, make the call, print out the certificate, and present it to the seller.

 

No registry needed if NICS check isn't linked to a particular gun.

Yea, right! Don't think so... Like they'd trust us to even perform them? It's about control and not giving us anything.

I like the idea of a private seller being able to call NICS just to verify that the person they are selling to is on the level. But I don't like the idea of making it required.

 

The problem with requiring NICS for F2F transfers is that there are still some places in this country where people use company-provided firearms to slaughter pigs, control vermin and keep wolves away from sheep. Imagine having to do a NICS check every day when your farmhand draws his rifle from the safe. I don't like that one bit, but the people in power probably think that Farms look a lot like Hee-Haw.

Huh? Nobody who, as in lawmakers or individuals?

 

I've always been a proponent of a smartphone based system or online system, or a self service phone system.

Yes it was proposed. Schumer rejected it.

 

“The proposal I will offer,” Coburn wrote in a letter to his colleagues, “would create a consumer portal that would allow someone to go online for free and print out a pass that proves they are not on the NICS [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] list. Law abiding citizens won’t be treated as guilty until proven innocent and they won’t face a new tax as they exercise their constitutional rights. Citizens also won’t be required to keep records under my proposal. Finally, my bill will allow people who already have a concealed carry permit to buy a gun without taking additional steps, and it will give states the right to come up with their own ways to declare that someone isn’t on the NICS list.”

So why the hell didn't someone bring that up while Cruz was saying we might end up paying a $150 transfer fee like in DC? Maybe that haven't read it yet, because they haven't passed it.

In that case, Schumer is an idiot. Even I would consider it if it was a free portal. As McBeth said, even if not required, I'd like to be able to check before selling to a stranger for my own protection.

 

I think the farmhand would be OK. Unless something has changed, private transfers (except if advertised on internet) would be exempt.

Hopefully, this whole discussion becomes irrelevant (in a good way) in about 5 minutes. Watching C-SPAn now and biting my nails.

Lautenberg made it to the vote.

Yes, yes Schumer is.

 

He could have passed the bill with enough votes with Coburn portal, with no detriment to background checks.

IIRC private transfers BETWEEN CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS was exempted, no one else.

This.

 

This is exactly what I have been saying. Open the NICS to all individuals to use on a voluntary basis at their discretion for private sales.
