Dealer purchases, or transfers like Bud's would still require tax collection.

That means when you pass away and your family is now FORCED to get a background check, they also get hit with tax, ontop of any normal estate tax.

Actually, the way that reads is that they do not have to collect sale tax if I sell you a gun and go thru a dealer for background check. IT also extends that now to interstate transfers like buying a gun thru gunbroker.
Dealer purchases, or transfers like Bud's would still require tax collection.
"Is the interstate transfer of a firearm from a licensed dealer subject to sales tax or use tax?
Yes. An in-state firearms dealer involved in the transfer of a firearm from an out-of-state licensed firearms dealer to an unlicensed person in this state (interstate transfers) remains responsible for collecting use tax from the transferee."
You still have to pay tax on guns brought in from out of state. So if you buy a gun from gun broker that is out of state and brought into Washington you still have to pay tax.

I am sure it would require a background check since they consider a receiver/frame a firearm.
The feds do, but does 594 address it?

interesting. feds regulate a part, 594 mentions firearm...a receiver doesn't propel a projectile with gunpowder.I am sure it would require a background check since they consider a receiver/frame a firearm.

Tax Tax Tax -
If $ changes hands- and sometimes even if it doesn't you can bet there will will be a tax owed.
Use tax...? There is no longer any defense against arbitrary taxation.
If it goes through the pipes for registration I am sure it will be tagged for taxes.

I see what you are saying. This is the exact wording on 594:
"Firearm" means a weapon or device from which a projectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.
I am sure they would have thought about that but it's not very clear by there definition. I know what the fed's call a firearm. On the state level who knows, maybe the consider it a device used for making a gun?

I don't know if they thought of it.
I know on the Federal level a frame/rec'r falls under a different classification when it comes to FET.
