This is an aspect of universal background checks that was deliberate and intentional...outlawing private sharing of guns on private property........David Kopel explains how the new Universal background check law makes it illegal to share your firearms with friends on your own property and without selling or buying the gun...
Sharing firearms for informal target shooting: Another legitimate activity outlawed by Everytown’s ‘universal background checks’
Here are two things that a person might do with a firearm: 1. Sell the firearm to a complete stranger in a parking lot. 2. Share the firearm with a friend, while target shooting on one’s own property. Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” lobby is promoting “universal background checks” as a means of addressing activity No. 1. But the Bloomberg laws also outlaw activity No. 2. In a previous post, I detailed how the unusual Bloomberg laws about “background checks” for “private sales” constrict safety training and self-defense; and also obstruct safe storage. This post addresses another non-sales activity, firearms sharing.
