(10,138 posts)It required all sales to be done at an FFL's place of business with the buyer and private seller both being present and with the gun being logged into and out of the FFL's possession and with no limit on the price charged by the FFL for this "service".
The problems here:
In reality the seller does not need to be present.
In reality the gun does not need to be present nor logged in and out.
The price charged by the FFL needs to be capped at something reasonable if they are required for doing the service.
A better method:
The buyer goes to an FFL, fills out the NICS form.
The FFL phones in the check, records the NICS result.
The FFL gives a copy of the result to the buyer.
The buyer pays a reasonable fee to the FFL.
The buyer takes the NICS result to the private seller to complete the sale.
