I just received an email from the FBI-NICS Liaison Specialist stating that the NICS Section will begin to allow private sale background checks in all states, not just the states that require it now:
The NICS Section will allow NICS checks for the transfer of a private sale firearm available to all FFLs not just those in states where the law requires it, beginning on September 16, 2015.
Seems the FBI-NICS Section is fully expecting UBCs to become the law of the land even though there is not yet law requiring such. I guess they know something we don't know - yet.
This will complete the de facto registry of all "legal" firearms since all those transfers will be recorded in FFL dealer's log books. You can take heart, though. Criminals will still acquire and transfer their arms outside the protective blanket of government.
Somehow, I don't feel safer.
