[QUOTE="tulsamal, post: 2078949, member: 571"] On the incredibly rare instance where I decide to sell a gun, if it was going to be a private sale to someone I've never met, I can see the utility of the background check. To limit my liability if nothing else. HOWEVER... before you yell at me... I'm talking a strictly voluntary type of thing. I would NOT support a mandatory system for obvious reasons. But if they want to pass a law that says gunstores "must run background checks for private citizens who want to do one and do it for a low fee," I can live with that. It sounds like a good compromise on TV and the average non-gun citizen wouldn't know the difference. Then it would be up to you. You could still make a private sale just like before. If you are comfortable with that. But you could also drive to your local transfer FFL and pay him $20 to run a check for you. As long as it is voluntary on the seller's part, that's fine.
