FFL's can only transfer firearms to other licensees, or to a nonlicensee via a 4473/NICS. They may also return a repaired or replacement firearm directly to the person that sent it in.....no 4473/NICS required.Minorcan Quote:
Again, "online" really has nothing to do with Federal law. INTERSTATE shipments of a firearm must be received by a licensed dealer. Federal law doesn't restrict INTRASTATE sales between nonlicensees who reside in the same state, not otherwise prohibited by law. Such transactions do not require a Federal background check.
Tom, Just to be sure I'm clear if buying from a licensed FFL in the same state doesn't the firearm have to ship to another FFL?
An FFL is not a nonlicensee.No FFL seller in my state (FL) will ship direct to me.
Federal law permits it, I don't know about FL law.I don't think I can mail or send my cousin down the street a firearm. Am I wrong?
There is no "registration" of firearms under Federal law. ATF regs allow the return of a repaired or replacement firearm directly to the person that sent it in.....no 4473/NICS required.turkeestalker I'm not certain about laws regarding shipping from an FFL to an individual, but would think that if the firearm were already registered to the individual, say when a licensed service provider ships one back that was in for service, then all that would be required would be a signature upon receipt.
Only if your state has such a law. It most certainly isn't required by Federal law because there is no such Federal registry of firearms and their owners.If the firearm were not previously registered to the individual, then it would have to go through an FFL and the NCIS call made.
Isn't the guardian a British outfit? Seems like they might have their own problems to worry about.

Yes, they started out in the UK, but have a USA branch since the early 2000s sometime (rough guess from memory). IMO they are notorious for hit pieces. The term Fake News comes to mind.

Again? So soon? We have to be smarter than this. Must be smarter. If this is the best argument we have, we are all doomed, and more-so because of asinine views like this. News does not have a nationality... for decades now. It's served up on demand, based on what you watch and subscribe to. Stop making us look like hicks. If this is who we really are, I say take the guns away.... because you scare me.

This is not fake news. It's real news and it's damaging. It should not be dismissed lightly by attributing it to one nationality or another... that is not a thing any longer. I am actually on your side. And I'm sick of Americans thinking that they have a corner on gun ownership, and that they are untouchable. We are very lucky in the U.S. that we can still exercise these rights. Lucky why? Because it is obviously not through intelligent argument that it's lasted this long. It doesn't matter whether the Guardian has an office in the U.S. It doesn't matter that the article is written by a left leaner or a right leaner. It is out there. British, American, left, right, these things divide us and no longer hold any weight.iraiam
You sir/madam, can go PACK SAND!
No...it's FAKE NEWS and being "real" is a given. It contains little actual fact and like a lot of supposed "news" is just a rewrite of another news article. That way they can push blame for the factual inaccuracy on the other news organization that published it.Sweet ShooterQuote:

I've found that British "news organizations" merely repeat what they read in American news.....and don't bother with verifying the information is correct or truthful.It should not be dismissed lightly by attributing it to one nationality or another... that is not a thing any longer.
Be sick all you want but no one has made that assertion in this thread but you.I am actually on your side. And I'm sick of Americans thinking that they have a corner on gun ownership, and that they are untouchable.

Lighten up Francis.Go pack your own sand.
Now that is funny.British "news organizations" merely repeat what they read in American news...
Not at all. The issue is bigger than this thread. Why do you think it's popular to call it America's gun problem? When it obviously isn't comparatively a problem at all.Be sick all you want but no one has made that assertion in this thread but you.
