In CA it takes two visits to an FFL for each transfer (to them and back to you) with a 10 day waiting period in between the two visits and a $35 fee. Your "it takes 30 seconds" tells me you have no idea the reality of how gun laws affect the law abiding.
- HWR_14 4y agoThat sounds like you're describing a current transfer regime. We're talking about requiring background checks. An NICS background check completes in 30 seconds. California's more draconian rules than what's been proposed has no bearing on anything.
- HideousKojima 4y agoCalifornia's (and other states') rules have a huge bearing on the issue, because they're clear examples of what gun control advocates are trying to implement since they're what they've actually implemented.
- giantg2 4y agoTo have access to NICS you need to be an FFL. So you at least have to go to an FFL. They will charge you to do the check and federally required paperwork (which takes longer than 30 seconds). The only thing that the other poster said that isn't something universal at the federal level is the waiting period.
- vdqtp3 4y agoIt's actually quite germane, considering that this is the way your proposal is implemented in real life.
