If I wanna sell my pistol to my brother in law, how do I run a background check? It's my pistol to part with, is it not? I'm not a public person, and I'm not carrying out a public function. I'm a private party, parting with private property. Should I really be regulated? I don't see how private sales like that can ever be regulated. But I don't think you should be able to sell your gun to a stranger at a gun show. Maybe there should be one law for all 50 states that you have to be a licensed dealer to sell at a gun show. It ain't my fault teacher's a smarmy hypocrite, slagging his nasty *** onto liberal issues and pretending to value leftist causes to root for war. He's a pig and deserves a pig's treatment. That's harsh.
