Crikey, at least try. Here is the comment you couldn't reply to: "That's pathetic. At least refer to an argument and how it supports your position". Good luck!
The state of California requires a background check for every firearms sale within the state, private or otherwise, no exceptions. And yet despite this fact, the ATF has found that nearly fifty percent of all firearms taken from prohibited individuals were originally sold within the state of California to begin with. Thus serving to undermine the findings of these so-called "researchers" who are being cited.
You've been told that the knowledge gained in a direct access NICS process is exactly the same knowledge you'd gain standing next to your buyer at the FFL. Why do you keep ignoring this fact?
BS. Has nothing to do with criminal records. You enter the information provided by the buyer and get a yes or no... you haven’t a clue why a person is denied.
you're right, I forgot. there are three answers from a NICS check: -yes -no -delay. perhaps this should be available upon registration with a NICS website.
My point is any private person should be able to register with the NICS. A number of years ago I sold off much of my collection... over 60 guns. I had my process for filtering buyers, required IDs, kept detailed records, did my own background research, and even turned down a couple sales. If the NICS was available to me, I would have used it. I now do a lot of work for a FFL (will again this weekend) so I now have easy access. But, there is no reason why I should not have been able to register with NICS and used it prior. Many gun owners selling privately would likely voluntarily use it if they could.
Yes, they are. https://legalbeagle.com/6771386-out-someone-dishonorably-discharged-military.html Also, you never find out the reason for denial on an NICS check.
Because the only input the seller has into the system is a code received from the buyer generated by his input into NICS. How would you check random strangers?
no, they are not this info is only available to the soldier or his next of kin upon death. it is NOT available to the general public.
The fact that they are not providing any personal, identifying information that would be utilized in such?
it seems like a no brainer.... 1-criminal record-no permit ever... 2-record of mental instability-no permit ever unless cleared by doctor, make that three doctors... 3- 6 month wait period, time for a potentially disgruntled person with a grudge to cool down... significant punishment for anyone who sells a gun to any of the above without proper background check
I don't believe that, but I will grant that for sake of argument. It's not an issue, since military discharge is not part of the information that an NICS check gives. It only gives "yes," "no," or "delay." Nothing about military discharge (or mental health) specifically. Per the National Archives https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center/foia-info Note, the transcript of Courts-martial trials are part of the public record that can be obtained by the public at large (not just the next of kin).
lol, soo lazy. I read the actual form. it says only the service member or his next of kin can request the discharge info. I cannot request the discharge info of my co-worker.
This is true. Military records are government records. They are not available to just anyone, like public records are.
