Transfer through FFL for private sale?

I know you didn’t want to give it up, you were brainwashed by the liberals (thru schools and media). here’s your chance to drop the chains.

what do you think about “shall not be infringed“ ?

you babble on about personal freedoms but when another person wants to sell their property their way you attack them like a guy in a dress who calls you transphobic when you tell him he can’t dress up your 6 year old son in lingerie and dance with him.

I didn’t assume he’s in a dress.

I'm curious how folks prefer to handle private sales. I am aware you don't have to do any sort of transfer or use an FFL, but does anyone choose to? From a buyers perspective, how do you know the gun you are receiving isn't stolen? Is there any reason a seller would want a gun shop to facilitate the transfer?

If you go through an FFL, it's not a private sale.
 
This^^^ right here. And if you really like going through an FFL for a private sale, just move the next state north to Virginia -where Governor "Blackface" Northam took away all your gun rights. Well most of them. I would just as soon be able to sell and trade firearms as a free man. But that's just me....

I know other's will disagree (based on my few days here) but I think this is an interesting point. Examples of this come up all the time. Remington got sued (and lost) by sandyhook families because a bushmaster was used. Alec baldwin shoots a camera woman and her family sues everyone all the way back to the ammo supplier. The list goes on. It's not right, but it's the way things are. My question is - what's the likeliness an average Joe gets caught up in something because he legally participated in a private sale? Seems very, very low. But $25 for some extra buffer also seems pretty cheap.

Slim. Lawyers go after the money. If you don't have deep pockets, you're not worth it. Your conclusion presumes that a FFL transfer is a buffer of some sort. I'm not convinced either way... lack of evidence on both sides of that one.

If it is in fact a liability buffer that would be interesting to know.

On the criminal side, the risk in a private sale is that the person is prohibited and the state can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you knew or should have known he or she was a prohibited person. I expect this is very rarely charged unless you’re selling to your thug baby daddy In which case the lying on a federal form or straw purchase is a better charge because it’s not open to interpretation.

On the civil side, no way to be sure, but in the big cases the lawyers are happy to skip on past the FFLs involved to get to the manufacturer, so I wouldn’t count on them being any sort of buffer. Best case is to be a poor and let them chase someone else For what they really want.

If that’s so, why is Hunter Biden flying around on AF1? 🤔
