I'm not sure why Govco couldn't set up an inexpensive or even "free" system


online to verify a buyer is indeed legally eligible to do so, and you could then report the sale to a valid buyer. (yes it would require all gun sales to be registered, but the vast, vast majority already are, so not sure that's a valid concern) Otherwise, yes, a local firearms dealer could run the background check for you for a small fee (not unlike a car inspection). And another great suggestion I saw was to allow state and local police stations to do them for no, or very small fee.

While I can understand the pushback against laws preventing someone from borrowing your gun, I don't really understand why the NRA and legal gun owners oppose that process. It takes away the hyperbole and lies about "gun show loopholes", and would only protect gun ownership rights IMHO.
