However, a UBC law needs to allow for short term transfers without a background check, or sales between family members.

I received a Ruger MkII as a birthday present. My brother bought me a shotgun on sale from a gun dealer (I paid him.) I bought a handgun from another brother. It is already illegal for these purchases if I was prohibited from owning/possessing firearms.

It seems that this EO might be a backdoor way of requiring background checks. Again, I am not opposed to background checks, but I wonder how this proposed EO will be enforced, assuming it survives any court decisions.
