This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

All you need to do to stop that is make it possible for private individuals to conduct or verify a background check without involving an FFL dealer.

Sellers have a responsibility to sell only to non-prohibited people. Without a public background check option, that means you can't sell if you have reason to believe they are prohibited.

As soon as you provide the option, your refusal to conduct a check on a prohibited person stops being exculpatory evidence and starts demonstrating malfeasance.
