It IS BS. Before my unfortunate boating accident, I would frequent the classifieds of a few gun forums. Whenever someone would offer a gun for sell they were clear ID was mandatory and a CCL preferable. The community is very effective at self-policing. No one wants one of their guns going to the wrong type of character.
I know what you mean, when I sell a used car I take a picture of that person to every bar and liquor store in 100 mile radius. Yknow what I say the other day? Someone selling panties at a garage sale to just any random stranger who walked up! What if someone used those for prostitution or to strangle someone! Irresponsible people just piss me off.
I agree.
It was a crime BEFORE the background check law took effect to KNOWINGLY sell a gun to a person who failed the Washington standards, which are pretty much equal to the Fed standards.
“Whenever someone would offer a gun for sell they were clear ID was mandatory and a CCL preferable.”
I used to see those requirements in ads but no longer (in WA State).
