Reply to comment by AnyOldNameNotTaken in Deputy arrested for illegally selling guns used in Roxborough HS shooting by dc122186

only pistols require a background check through an FFL….this deputy was a scumbag through and through….he knows the structure for selling a pistol to anybody….he popped up on FBI radar because he was a one man crime wave with a badge…betcha he was doing the same with drugs…knew a cop who was always getting paid to babysit drug shipments…he would deliver kilos for a price…he got 75 yrs under rico…its been 18 years…only way he gets out is feet first

Pistols, shotguns and short barrel rifles (under 16” barrel)

Only long rifles are exempt.

From an FFL's perspective pistols must be sold to an adult 21 and older.

Rifles shotguns all need to go through background checks when purchased through an FFL.

Short barrel rifles suppressors and machine guns all go through the NFA which requires a 200 dollar tax stamp and a 3 month to a year plus background check through the ATF.

what if two family members or friends hunting buddies etc etc wanted to trade or sell a rifle or shotgun between them…they live next door to eachother…they have to go through an ffl to trade shotguns or rifles????

I'm pretty sure there's an exemption for family. Not sure about friends. Use to be you just had to transfer handguns through a sheriff or FFL, but that was years ago. Not sure what may have changed.

No if you buy any firearm from an FFL you get a background check.

A short barrel rifle needs to go through the NFA
