When an FFL runs a NICS check, is a record kept by the FBI? If we pass a law declaring that record must be deleted, I'd say we gained something. 4473 remains unchanged.

What if instead of mandatory background checks between private persons, they were simply incentivised similar to what was recently done with 30.06 signs where there are liability protections to business establishments who choose not to post 30.06?

In other words, if one chooses to privately sell a gun and include a background check (or, I would also add if buyer has a current LTC), should that gun be used in a future crime, the seller has PLCA type protection and cannot be held civilly or criminally liable? That still frees up private transfers without background checks between those that want that protection and those do not need or want it because the parties are related or are lifelong friends, or really whatever reason they have not to do one. To me this would make a BGC a more attractive option to lawful gun owners without making it mandatory.
