"About the only way around a background check is if you bought privately."

That's one of the things Biteme wants to cancel. He suggests background checks even if you GIVE a gun to someone else, including a family member. Good luck, enforcing that one.

What they want, is that any gun not registered with the Federal government will be illegal.

Gun registration is, in effect, gun confiscation.

In WA that’s exactly how it works; if you give your son a gun to hold while you climb over a fence it’s an illegal transfer of a firearm.

The lunatic asylum in Maryland overrode a veto and now require background checks on private sale of long arms.

I have no idea how they will possibly be able to enforce that.

Only way is registration which no thinking person will comply with.
