Universal background checks?

Every time you sell a gun, a little piece of you dies.. not all of you, maybe just your liver.

It shorted our lives for sure. It's not healthy...unless its a *insert controversial manufacture here* Hahah.

 

[Jigo23]

Fair enough, and I'm the same with my ID...

Enjoy your false security... OTOH, nothing good can come from me sharing my ID with someone I don't know (except maybe buying a gun that I can probably get somewhere else with more security?)

Roger that sir, we are in total agreement then

As a buyer, I will briefly show my DL to prove I am a Texas resident but you aren't getting a copy of it and it never leaves my hand. And I ask the same of a buyer unless I know you. I prefer to sell only to people with 100% positive feedback on this or other forums.

Added: And I don't ship! I do FTF only and show me the money!
And I don't buy something that needs to be shipped unless it is from an FFL.

And the only issue I'd have with a Bill of Sale is wanting my signature on it...

"oh, you want a handwriting sample to help in your endeavors to impersonate me? by all means... here you go!"

Just something to think about... there's also a handwriting sample on your DL and an LTC. And this goes beyond the person you're giving it to... are they going to be cautious and safeguard your PII you just gave them? maybe they'll scan it and put it online without sufficient security, or it could be stolen or lost by them.

What I couldn’t live with is a gun I provided someone being used negligently or unlawfully to harm an innocent person, especially a child.

If you can control or determine someone will be negligent....I would certainly like to know how.....

I hear you and understand where you are coming from.....but reality is....you have zero control once you hand the gun over....

I agree with you on the ID. I don’t want or need to have a copy of any ID either.

Roger that, I’m not big on BOS but have done them at buyer’s or seller’s request.
LOL@ a handwriting sample

Very true...but you take measures to mitigate. Doing something is better than doing nothing IMHO. To each his own tho.

 

[Lunyfringe]

Come to think of it, I haven't bought a gun off-books since I moved to Texas...

only purchases have been at an FFL- 2 were gunbroker auctions with a transfer at an FFL. I tried to buy a BFR from someone off TexasGunTrader a while back, but he never showed the day of.

I need to remedy that just on principle alone... I leave a communist leaning state to get to the free world and don't even exercise my recovered rights? It's a damn shame.

You mean you sign such things with your actual signature?!?

 

[Lunyfringe]

You're not helping any case that a BOS has value...
I don't sign them at all if I don't know the other party involved...
and if I know them, I really don't need one....

I've got three for sale

you made me look... I think we have enough similar preferences that what you're willing to sell I'm not heavily interested in... that 1894 is a bit tempting, except I already have an 1895 in 45-70... and I don't have anything else in .44Mag.

Let me know what you want for one of your 10mm guns...

You're right.....to each their own...but I disagree with the premise..

 

[tinplas]

Among my many discussions about gun rights, a license was proposed. Would it be any better to get a gun owners license similar to a driver's license? Showing proficiency at whatever level you want to reach. Revolver, semi, etc.

Just another form of registration.

Has it ever helped anything when the government sticks it's nose in it?

 

[Charlie]

I'm waitin' for the day when someone kicks someone else's ass, we'll have to start registering our shoes!

 

[V-Tach]

Every time someone kills someone else.....a multitude of laws are broken....

But.....we need to pass more laws.........because doing something is better than doing nothing......

That's not going to happen.
