All over the news today is Biden's action on closing the "Gun show loophole"!
In my home state of Oregon it hasn't been legal to do a private party sale/transfer of firearms without going through a FFL (which requires a background check) in many years. If you want to do a private party transfer in Oregon you legally have to do so through a FFL. In Oregon if you want to sell a gun without going through a FFL there is really nothing stopping you from doing so other than it is illegal. Evidently Biden is finally stopping the trade of firearms over the internet without a background check. The PNW gun trading website ( https://www.northwestfirearms.com/new/classifieds/ ) is completely built around transferring firearms through an FFL and anyone trying to do otherwise will be banned immediately.
I am curious how many members here live in a state in which Biden's new purposed legislation will have ANY affect?
Are there members on here that can legally buy/sell over the internet without the buyer going through a background check? Just curious if Biden's proposal will actually do anything or if it is just the election is coming so we better make as show on gun control even if it doesn't really do anything at all?
