    Does the seller get the private information of the buyer and run it? Does the buyer just show up with a printout and a matching ID and we pretend that can’t be faked?

    Buyer gets pre-approved via NICS and is given a token Seller confirms that token with NICS

      What’s quicker to do?

      Use the existing system or create the perfect one you’re dreaming of?

      Because in case you haven’t noticed, this is kind of a time sensitive situation.

      And I remember a decade ago people saying we can’t require background checks on private sale because we should do what you’re describing.

      But it never happens.

        Lol no it’s not. None of the mass shooters that I’m aware of got their guns through private sales. So what’s the time sensitive nature here?

          You think the only kind of gun violence is mass shootings?

          Where the fuck do you live that is a thing?

          A magical forest with talking animals?
