Federal law requires nothing more than State ID and ignorance of the person's background.
That is not true, it does Not say, '
ignorance'.Saying,
'ignorance', is implying something completely different, to people that do not know and understand that law.
And the reason to change words is ?The wording is: '
have reasonable cause '. Which is quite different than,
'ignorance'.
Having reasonable cause, is many things, including, what does this transaction,
'feel' like.
When you trade/sell guns what do you do beyond making sure they have valid State ID?First order of business is their DL/ID, Then a photo copy of it, or writing down the information it contains.
(Someone does NOT want you to do that, That falls under, 'Due Diligence')Next, a Bill of sale, Listing the seller/buyer, the firearm, make model ser#.
This is a very simply,
'Due Diligence' or some say say, CYA.
Do not use the word, 'ignorance', in place of, 'does not know', in this situation.
It may be used in the situation:
"A person is ignorant about flying a 747, because they don't know how"Not in a situation, where it is,
Implied, a person selling/buying a firearm, is ignorant
