Exactly right...which is why I strongly favor 2nd Amendment and NO RESTRICTIONS for law abiding citizens to buy firearms.
However I do not relish the idea of a convicted criminal to be able to walk in a store and buy gun, no questions asked.
And people caught with illegal use of firearms should be put away in prison for a very long time.
All a convicted criminal has to do is send someone with a clean record, such as a girlfriend, into the store to make the purchase for him. Those who are criminal or criminal bent won’t have a problem getting a gun no matter how tough the gun laws are. OTOH, think about the wasted man hours complying with a worthless law that only serves to inhibit law abiding citizens in their purchase of a gun. It’s costly, foolish and unconstitutional.
