This legislation is pure fail.

That's a good point about the resurrection of Christ. Although I dont think they would try that but there's plenty of other things they will use to put you on there.

Depression and stuff.

The intro to that article is messed up factually. Under current Federal law (individual States may differ), anyone may sell a gun to anyone who is not a prohibited person. You do not need an FFL to sell a gun. You only need an FFL to operate a gun-selling business. It isn't a clear line when selling a few guns becomes a business. But it is clear that you can go to a gun show, or to your neighbor's house, and sell a gun without having an FFL.

Only sales by an FFL require a background check of the buyer. If you are not an FFL you can sell a gun without a background check of the buyer - at a gun show or on your front lawn. In fact, only an FFL can access the background check system. I couldn't do a background check of a person I sell a gun to even if I wanted to.

This is what the gun grabbers call the gun show loophole. But it is no loophole and it has nothing to do with gunshows. It is simply that the law requiring a background check applies only to commercial transactions by FFL holders, whether or not they are at a gunshow, and not to the general public, whether or not they are at a gunshow.
