This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses the immediate halt of private firearm transfers in Connecticut, requiring all sales to go through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). The speaker, drawing on information from Holly Sullivan of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL), explains that this change stems from Connecticut's SLFU (State and Local Firearms Unit) being advised that their previous use of the NICS system for private sales was a misuse of federal resources. This development could potentially impact private transfers nationwide if other states adopt similar interpretations.
