as far as backround checks are concerned, there seems to be alot of misinformation. in all 50 states, when you go into a gun store an fbi backround check is mandatory, in all 50 states, look it up. as far as private gun sales, i'm not sure how it is everywhere but backround checks are not required for the most part as far as i know. with that said, its a felony to sell a gun to a felon knowingly, but thats a slippery slope.

as a gun owner myself, i would certainly not be opposed to backround checks as far as private gun sales are concerned. could be as simple as having both parties go to a gun store and have it done and then documented right there.
