When it comes to long guns you can buy in a different state if you are legal to buy that type of gun in your home state. Handguns you must be a resident.
I had a guy from Missouri offer to by my rifle at the gun show, I told him I didn't think I could sell it to him. He thought he could buy rifles, but my understanding is he could from a dealer, but from an individual the transfer would have to go through an FFL.
Nope.
The transfer would not only have to go through an FFL, but an FFL in his home state. The ATF has published a document to explain lawful private transfers. From that document:
Okay, for this young lady, who obviously should not have had access to a firearm, how could this have been prevented?
We tried to get mental health for my SIL years ago. Spent a lot of time trying to help her or get her help. As long as she didn't hurt herself or somebody else, it was very frustrating. She would take her meds, feel better, then stop taking them.
Wouldn't that be the same result as saying he can't buy a long gun out of state of residence? He could walk into a dealer in OK and buy one though, right? (but not a handgun)
Even at a gunshow?
Ive traded rifles at a gunshow but thats been years ago.
I understand what you mean , but , you are still putting too much faith in bureaucracy!! On too many levels .gov run programs are abused and mishandled and turned into a huge mistakes that started out as a good idea. You say "mostly unbiased" and there in lies the problem, everyone has their biases and "most" are incapable of making decisions based on law and facts and let their feelings guide the decision making process.
You cannot take human nature out of the equation. Who decides what constitutes severe mental issues and how do you keep people from abusing the process.
Look at the checks and balances that the FBI works under and by all accounts FISA was abused to spy on a Presidential candidate.
I know one has nothing to do with the other , it is that type of abuse of power that I fear cannot be removed from the equation.
What I'm talking about is several levels of both civilian and governmental checks, along with input from the community - friends, family members, etc.
What alternative would you suggest? I mean, we allow "government employees" to arrest, investigate, prosecute, judge, sentence and EXECUTE people. Are we going to throw that system out?
