You're lucky, KC - here in Washington, these b.s. semantics can land someone in jail. We recently (maybe two years ago) had an Initiative passed (I-1639) that made it illegal to "transfer" a firearm between any parties without having first conducted a background check. This "transfer" includes me handing you my gun to try out at an established range - now technically "illegal" under Washington law without a background check. Just ridiculous. Never enforced, granted, but if someone wanted to make your life miserable...
Welcome to Blue State firearms regulations... and semantics... They won't even teach proper grammar in our schools anymore, but the finer points of firearms "ownership" vs. "possession", along with "transfer" (is that ownership or possession?) have become exceedingly important, and ultimately useful to any authorities who wish to trip up a law abiding gun owner. Yet they could give a rat's ass about the black homicide rates...
