Orange County, Fla. - Orange County leaders passed a new ordinance Tuesday that would go against state law and make it more difficult to buy a gun.
After two hours of discussion, commissioners unanimously voted to create a 3-day waiting period and background checks for gun purchases.
Currently, licensed gun dealers are required to run a background check on buyers and wait three days before completing a sale. But at gun shows or flea markets, private gun dealers don’t have to meet those requirements.
After two hours of discussion, commissioners unanimously voted to change that, and require those unlicensed dealers to follow the same rules as licensed ones.

Ignore it. Blatantly illegal and unenforceable under the state firearm preemption law. Better yet openly flaunt it, you will be in for a huge payday if they actually try to arrest you for violating it...
“...and require those unlicensed dealers to follow the same rules as licensed ones”.
These are not unlicensed dealers they are talking about, just private citizens who are allowed to make occasional sales of their own guns to residents of the state in which they live. They can buy a table at a gun show if they have a collection of their own guns to sale, but they can’t legally sell guns on a regular basis.
Private individuals do not become gun dealers simply because they sell one gun in a private sale, not any more than I became a car dealer when I sold my used car.
Color me confused!
Are they requiring individual private sellers at flea markets to do a background check?
If so.........how the hell are they going to even enforce that?
They would like.
Gonna be a lot of P.O.d gang bangers buying a gun out of some guys trunk, then being told they gots to come back in three days.
With a filled out 4473?
Some years ago a man was arrested and convicted in Norfolk for open carrying in public. The case ended up in the Virginia Supreme Court, which ruled:
a. Open carry is allowed in Virginia by STATE law, and
b. No municipality can have an ordinance that defies STATE law.
Unlike California, Illinois and other socialist governed states,Florida has a very strong state preemption law for left field maneuvers like this. It will fall flat on it’s face.
Lying liars. There is no “gun show loophole”. Never was one.
First of all the writer, or city council or some other ignorant person starts off on a lie, a totally a false premise. To say that DEALERS do not have to do a background check at a flea market or gun show is an absolute lie. ANY licensed gun dealer must do a background check regardless where the sale takes place. The only time a background check is not done is when one private individual sells to another private individual, you know like you sell a gun to Joe next door. The gun show loop hole is now and always has been a damnable lie.
In thew last few decades so many “new rights” has been found in the Constitution I cannot keep up with it.
Yet in only the 2nd Amendment are rights suddenly becoming more strict.
Perhaps we should go back to what the jurists in the 1800s thought about the 2nd.

“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole
people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear
arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be
infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the
important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so
vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”
“...unlicensed dealers...”?????
So selling one of your extra guns now makes you an “unlicensed dealer”.
Easy - send undercover agents to gun shows and offer to buy some poor guy’s rifle. After the sale is complete arrest him. Instant criminal.
Totally unenforceable. States are sovereign, counties and cities are not. The latter can only exercise what power the state ALLOWS them to have. The State of Florida allows county and city government no power when it comes to gun laws. This is just empty virtue signaling.
Pretty sure you cannot use the FBI NICS without an FFL.
>“...unlicensed dealers...”?????
Please, that’s “Undocumented Entrepreneur”.
Yup. So by WA law you “must” both “report” to an FFL to have the check done. Yeah, okay. I’m sure there’s 100% compliance.
