I think the title of this thread is a little misleading. I opened this expecting to read about personal property as in land or your home. I don't see why gun owners are so upset. The argument that this is personal property is a weak one in my opinion. Look this is not like you are trying to sell a stamp collection or a guitar or something. This is about the private citizen attempting to sell a deadly WEAPON.
I know I would want anyone trying to do that put under the microscope. Could have been a weapon used in a murder for all you know. Next they find the weapon and you own it. Guess who gets charged with murder!

Okay, so why cant I call NICS?
If keeping guns out of the hands of criminals is the goal then she should just be requesting that private sellers call NICS.
But she's not. So what's her real goal?

I cant sign up as a dealer unless I am a dealer. CAnt get an FFL unless I have a physical storefront. The "virtual" storefronts of the past dont cut it anymore.

You generalization is amusing. A gun is a deadly weapon used for killing or hunting. Not cooking or cutting your grass. I also suspect as I continue to voice my opinion on this matter in a calm and gentlemanly way that we will see a rise in the more angry posts directed towards me simply because I support background checks for gun sales and even private gun sales.
Funny, I don't hear anyone complaining about having to be subjected to background checks when they apply for a job! Only because they want to sell a blatantly deadly weapon on the free market with no checks or balances.
