Pandemic is Test Bed for Bill of Rights Especially The 2nd One
Can you still do private sales?

Our founders were intimately familiar with pandemics, viruses and
plagues, yet they did not allow any to suspend our Constitutional
liberties. Not one word in the Constitution about plagues or pandemics
to exempt the government from any of our Bill of Rights. Why do our
current courts allow it? Because the public is asleep at the wheel.
In the midst of the panic and confusion caused by China's COVID-19, the
FBI, which operates NICS, has sent out a directive to gun dealers,
warning them that the “3 business days” allotted for investigation of “Delayed”
reports, means 3 days during which all of the various repositories of
information that a NICS examiner might call upon to clear-up a question,
are open. That means that the closures and skeleton crews mentioned
above are making it difficult for NICS examiners – if they are even
still working – to do their job, and that gun dealers are supposed to
refuse to process any transfer until the government gets its act back
together and everyone gets back to work.
