To anyones knowledge, has anyone been convicted or linked to a crime for selling a firearm with or without a paper trail?
To sort-of answer my own question, I believe that the gun store and 3rd party that was of age (that bought one of the guns for the youth) got in trouble with the law when the Columbine shooting took place years ago.
But again, if I sold a gun to another person that "I" felt to be "okay". Would I get into trouble?
Disclaimer, I have not really researched this, that's because I've not really had a need. Simply curious and wanting to join the conversation.
I personally have not heard of one (from a person to person transaction), but then again I have not bought or sold any guns in a very long time.
In fact, when I did sell (way back when), on the bill of sale we both exchanged SSN's. Thankfully, I am still friends with that person, so I don't really have a worry about my Identity being stolen. I would not do that now. My next transaction, I would have to have at least a drivers license number, name, and address at a minimum. I would provide the same too.
