ALL guns sold in stores require some form of wait or back-ground check.
That's part of the Federal law (Brady Bill). But it doesn't apply to
private sales.
Individual states may have restrictions on private sales but I'm not
aware of any other than California, New York and some of the other New
England states.
What part of Georgia are you in?

It's not the law in Florida either. But E-bays action is nothing new.
Lots of news-papers and TV stations are refusing to carry gun ads, even if
it's a private sale. Funny, since the papers and TV stations are always
screaming about "freedom of the press" when it comes to publishing things
like the names of rape victum or other things that have no reason to be
published.
