“I don’t have a problem with this. We have a right to bear arms, but nothing says those arms must be allowed to have no serial number. I own a number of guns, and all of them have serial numbers. It isn’t a big deal.”
I understand what you are saying, but do you think you should be charged with a felony if you chose to remove the serial number of one of your guns? You own them so who is to say you can’t? Does it hurt anyone?
Laws against obliterated S/N’s are malum prohibitum. They serve no purpose that isn’t accomplished through existing laws. It’s already illegal to possess stolen property.
I agree about the law’s usefulness. However, I don’t see a lot of harm, and would much rather see money and effort spent trying to make it easier for a citizen to own arms in all 50 states. I think Constitutional Carry is just that - a logical interpretation of the Constitution that should be binding everywhere in the USA.
