(quoted from post at 17:21:04 01/08/17) It's legal to sell but You over looking one thing. If you sell a gun to a felon not knowing he is a felon and he commits a crime with that gun it can come back to bite you because you are not to sell to a felon.When you buy a gun in parking lot how do you know if that gun is not hot.
Again, if you buy a tractor off Craigslist, how do you know it's not hot? What's your point? Anyone can buy something stolen without knowing it. There are a lot more electronics and phones and tools stolen each year than guns. Have you ever bought something at a flea market or off CL and checked to see if it's stolen? No, yo haven't. Have you ever bought US military equipment like a field jacket or maybe some camping gear off CL near a military base? 99% chance it was "liberated" off the base and is in essence stolen. Did you do a background check on that? Nope.
And for the record, if you sell a gun to a felon without knowing he was a felon, you really don't stand much chance of getting a ticket to the big house. I've never seen it in over 20 years of police work. It's not your responsibility to determine if he is or isn't a felon or otherwise barred from purchasing or possessing a firearm unless there is a state law requiring that as there is in my state. OTOH, if you KNOWINGLY sell or buy a gun from a felon or with knowledge it's likely stolen, thats a whole 'nuther can of worms.
All you're doing is repeating the lines from the anti-gun agenda. The reality is that studies show few criminals buy guns at gun shows or gun stores or from legal gun owners. Studies show most get their guns either buy stealing them, getting them from another criminal or through the black market. Whats needed is a better system than what we have now for rooting out the insane, the criminals and the terrorists. Joe Average gun owner is going to go his whole life without ever doing anything illegal with his guns. But he's the guy that is punished for the criminals and the mentally ills actions. Thats wrong on multiple levels.
