> The only thing not covered is sales by private individuals who don’t sell guns for a living. This makes sense, as there needs to be some way for regular people like me to sell a gun. Go back to my example from earlier in the thread: If I give my nephew a gun to go deer hunting with, should I be locked up for not doing a background check?

You should have a background check to give guns to relatives.

What if your nephew is a convicted felon?

The way to do this is that you and nephew go to a gun shop. Pay the owner $15, and he runs a background check for you. Easy peasy. This isn’t as onerous as gun enthusiasts are suggesting.
