Arizona No background checks required for personal property sales

[Joe Link]

PHOENIX — State lawmakers voted Monday to bar local governments from requiring background checks before individuals can sell property to one another.

But proponents insist the legislation is not about guns.

SB 1122, given preliminary House approval on a voice vote, would spell out that no government can require that the seller of personal property search federal or state databases before transferring private property. It also says that such transactions do not have to be handled through a third party.


Federal law mandates background checks when a licensed firearm dealer sells a weapon.

But there is an exemption for the person-to-person sale of weapons. And there is no mandate to have these transfers handled by a gun dealer who would be required to see if the buyer is legally eligible to possess a weapon.

While several states have enacted their own mandates, there is no requirement for background checks in Arizona law. The closest to a local restriction is a Tucson ordinance that requires background checks when weapons are sold in city-owned buildings like the convention center.

We are trying every avenue we can to defang Bloomberg before his minions set up shop for 2018 and the referendum he wants so badly in all states, like what he did in Nevada and Washington state. The interstate compact would have been best, but Bloomberg allies managed to sidetrack it for two years now. We have two Bloomer Republicans in the Senate we need to get rid of.

exercise in semantics

Same thing said two different ways

The notification I received from the AZCDL this morning said the Gov signed SB 1122

Now if only we can get the stores on the same page! It makes no sense to allow private parties to exchange/sell firearms yet stores still have to keep records with our names and addresses listed on the paperwork.

Ah, that's Federal law, Gun Control Act of 1968, nothing state level can do about that and good luck repealing any federal gun laws. So, yes, it makes perfect sense to recognize the rights of law abiding private citizens to freely exchange goods and services while attempting to get the overreaching federal government to do the same...if the Commerce Clause hadn't been twisted into a Gordian Knot, this would never have happened.
