William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, explains how administrative actions and recent legislation are effectively creating universal background checks for firearm sales. The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act redefined 'engaged in the business' to include profit-seeking, potentially requiring many private sellers to obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL). This shift, coupled with potential transaction thresholds as low as five sales per year, means private sales may soon require background checks, mirroring existing FFL requirements. Gun owners are urged to stay informed about these evolving regulations to ensure compliance.
