It does not affect sale of firearms by non-dealers (non-FFL holders). Look for the Clinton administration to try to change this; at a press conference today the DC reporter rat-pack was moaning about unregulated gun shows. It does affect non-sale transfers by FFLs. Per the DoJ rule: "NICS checks apply to transfers and are not limited to firearm sales." I have an article up at www.wired.com shortly about the privacy implications. -Declan At 09:40 AM 12-1-98 -0800, Steve Schear wrote:

I'm watching Headline News, and they are reporting that "now", under new provisions in the Brady Bill, and 'instant' background check is being made. This even is for simple rifles and shotguns.
How does this affect private, that is non-dealer, gun sales (like at swap meets)?
