When it comes to tightening gun control laws, President Donald Trump has been consistently vague on what measures he supports, especially regarding background checks. His recent comments have only caused more confusion about his position, and fueled questions about whether he is walking back from comments he made immediately after the most recent mass shootings.
While Trump previously said he was"looking to do background checks" following the two back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio earlier this month, he told reporters Sunday"we have very strong background checks right now." Some have suggested that Trump is flip flopping, but the President has not clearly laid out a position on background checks and private sales and his recent comments remain just as vague.
Under federal law, private sellers not looking to turn a profit do not have to run buyers through a background check system. It is illegal for a private seller to sell a gun to someone who is not legally permitted to own a firearm. Private sellers cannot sell a gun to a resident of another state without first shipping the gun to an FFL dealer who will run the buyer through the NICS before handing over the weapon.
