You guys can do that now, rather than selling gunz in a back alley for fistful of cash without background check. Private citizens should not have access to NICS, they cannot be trusted to keep documentation, and do not have level of accountability required of FFL. Do the right thing now, President should not have to force so-called law-abiding gun owners into acting responsibly.

Would you sell one of your guns to someone with a serious mental condition? Hoyt Jan 2014 #14

The issue isn't really the presence of a 'serious mental condition' HereSince1628 Jan 2014 #19

I don't think I've ever met a gun fancier capable of making that determination. Hoyt Jan 2014 #34
