This is frustrating, especially with Bloomberg paying for deceptively worded ads touting this bill (that sound like pro-gun ads, but that are not)... Ads that show the violation of three of the NRA basic safety principles.
The proposed Senate law known as S.649 text is at:

If you read it closely, you will see that transfers do not take place through all "licensees"; they take place through "dealers"; "importers" "collectors" and "manufacturers" using NCIS for background checks each time.
I wonder when Collectors will gain access to NCIS?
You will see that "gunsmiths" are left out of the bill.
