Because if that blunderbuss has been deemed to be 'legal' first off then 'Granny' can leave it to you,
But You can not pick it up or take possession of it without getting government's permission first.
Don't your a felon.
Though there’s no federal law that prohibits a gift of a firearm to a relative or friend that lives in your home state, some states—California for example—require you to transfer the gun through a local firearms dealer so an instant background check will be performed to make sure the recipient is not legally prohibited from owning the gun.

That ain't spin.
That is truth.
I don't support government fascism unlike some.
Not to sure about that last line. But that's a discussion for another thread.
Please tell me how either of the two measures in the OPs article will stop my Grandmother leaving me her favorite Blunderbuss?

Seems there is no problem at the Federal level. Only at the State level.
I live in Texas though, we can give Firearms away as CrackerJack prizes.

It doesn't but it could stop a father from leaving his rifle with a 14" barrel to his son. A future chief of police could deny the son the right to own it. Under NFA guidelines the chief of police has to okay a person taking posession of such equipment. So the ideological leanings of a person appointed by the local mayor could prohibit the inheritance of a rifle solely based on the length of the barrel.

If you support idiotic gun laws you should not even own a gun.
Just my opinion.

The problem is they are trying to make 'gifting' illegal without getting a back ground check.
