Gun Control & RKBA

What about a gift to a spouse? Should that require them to have a background check too? Personally, I think so but that raises other issues. What about community property? Wouldn't married couples jointly own the same guns no matter who actually bought them? What would happen if one spouse died? The other spouse would automatically inherit them. Then what? Would the guns have to be registered to the survivor, and a background check done then on them, possibly even before the survivor could sell them?

These are very personal issues for me as a wife of a gun owner who had a heart attack last year. I will inherit them if he passes before me and have to dispose of his guns in the event of his death. Oh, I would not want to go through any of those background checks, registration, in addition to just plain selling them. What a nightmare situation this would create.
