@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo some states require a "transfer" which involves a background check. Some respect privacy.

Public gu sales require a paper trail be kept. This is a bigger issue for me than just the background check
@thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club
@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven yeah agreed. I was just saying that some states do require a background check although it's ancillary to the transfer which is the paper trail. I think I conflate the background check with the transfer in my head though because you can't have one without the other.
@thatguyoverthere @admitsWrongIfProven
Yea but in private sales you dont have to transfer ownership at the point of sale. Sometimes you dont have to record it at all
@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven yeah that part depends on the state. Here in wv no need but that doesn't mean you can sell homemade fgc-9 or ar pistols from the back of your truck. You also can't buy a gun for your wife. If you buy a gun and want to gift it to someone they are expected to come in and pick do the transfer. I think it's different if you give one from your collection, but if it could look like a straw purchase it's probably illegal.
Those "paper trails" don't prevent crime you moron. What is more important to you, preventing crime in the first place or making it ever so slightly easier to solve crime cases?
