Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: LOL, has anyone actually read the "universal background check" legislation that has been proposed?? [View all]JDPriestly

"to let someone else use YOUR firearm on their (or even yours, if it is away from your home) private property."
The whole point of the law is to prevent transfer of possession or ownership of a firearm to take place without the filing of a notice of that the transfer is taking place. That's the only way you can insure that the person to whom possession or ownership of the firearm has passed a background check.
Also, hunting licenses are required. People have to get them. They usually aren't that expensive or that much trouble to get.
We have to renew our car licenses. Professionals have to renew their licenses in order to work. There is nothing complicated about that. You can probably do it on the internet in non-business hours. It's just lazy and irresponsible not to renew a hunting license.
I especially like the requirement that you must report the theft of a firearm right away. That will help alert police to the thefts. A lot of guns used in crimes are stolen.
The law looks very sensible and reasonable to me.
