I am beginning to believe some want tougher gun laws. But the problem is, these restrictions on private sales some are in favor of will do nothing to decrease gun crime.

But. I am 100% in favor of people instituting any additional restrictions on purchasing a gun from them they desire. I won't be buying or selling from you.

No, I would require a bill of sale on just about anything of high value that I bought. A receipt with ID info gives me some assurance against buying from a thief or a crook. I would assume that folks that don't want to provide ID for a sale is up to no good. Whether its a gun a car or a fishing rod. I won't buy a gallon of milk without a receipt, why should I buy a hand gun from a stranger without BOS.

Do you require ID on that gallon of milk as well? All kidding aside. I suppose if I spent my time around a lot of thieves and crooks, I too would require ID. Fortunately, the circles I run in tend to be a bit more honorable.

No, but I require a receipt. Just in case the milk turns up sour. I know where the store is and where to return it. If I bought a lawnmower from a stranger in a parking lot I would want a Bill of sale as well as an ID on who I'm dealing with.

The truth is though if I were to purchase a gun from some of the people here. I would feel pretty comfortable without worrying about it being a bad deal. or dealing with unscrupulous people. The fact is I don't buy many used guns I like new stuff, and most of the guns I see for sale here sells for pretty much the same price as brand new. Thats just me though. I don't like selling my old guns much either. Some people like bargains and collectables. Others are willing to take a chance on buying a defective piece of equipment for a bargain. I don't make judgement calls on people who can't be bothered with formalities, I just believe in certain business practices. I also don't associate with thieves and crooks, but have run into enough to be wary.

If you want to go the second mile take them to a FFL and do a transfer. Short of that anything else is useless.

Agreed, i can understand the reluctance to sell or buy from a stranger but it’s so ironic that people who do not want 2A rights restricted by our government often restrict 2A rights beyond what the law requires when selling to individuals.

Then again when selling or buying any personal items, Its good to know th person your selling too is a good person.\, whether its a car, a book or a gun. Thats one reason I would prefer to sell items to people I know personally, Its also the reason I don't sell much of my stuff, my potential selling list is pretty small.
