40. This is NOT the gun show loophole...
It IS, a PRIVATE SALE. Open up NICS to all of us.

Private Sale, means just that if my neighbor, wants to buy something, I can sell it too him. I Will resist any laws that require private sales go thru an FFL dealer.

The ONLY way to enforce such a law, is registration...And since registration is so far out of the question, it is a non-starter...The government does not have any justification for trying to control my private property, or family heirlooms...It is NONE of their beeswax.

All I see is another "hit peice" on guns....Nothing new...
