This has actually happened: First BATF agents wander around and plant something illegal, like a full auto sear etc.

Next group of agents “find it.”

City Police and Sheriff’s Deputies do it also. The first group will visit and and do whatever they came to do[ plant contraband] In a few minutes, a second group will pull up and one of them will go to the door and say, “My partner left was here and left his pen” or words to that effect. Then enters and “finds” the contraband left [planted] by the first guy.

Charley Pride was one of my favorites back then. He died Dec. 2020 of COVID. Breaks my heart. I was born in a town on the Mississippi River, so his song about the river meant a lot.

WHAT??? Our federal humble agents, there to protect us, would fake evidence to destroy a political enemy? Why... That’s conspiracy theory stuff. Just ask General Flynn

I had a couple ATF agents show up at my house one day. Seems a gun I had sold made the rounds and ended-up going from FL to NJ where it was used in a crime. I did nothing wrong and helped the agents as far as email trail from the initial sale.

That'll be Nancy's next step. First go after gun manufacturers when one of their guns is used in a crime, then the next step will be to go after gun sellers if a gun they sold was used in a crime (nevermind the sale was legit).

Person to person sales are not illegal in all states. I have been professionally associated with firearms for more than 40 years. I keep track of the federal laws and the gun laws in my state of residence. Where I live person to person sales are totally legal.

The true and provable facts per the FBI online data banks, is that red america really does not have a significant gun problem. Young black males, democrats per Obama’s words, living in the inner city democrat long term governed cities make up 3.5% of our population but commit more then 53% or all annual gun homicides and firearms assaults in our nation every year. This statistic has been true each and every year for over 20 years.

The remaining gun violent crimes are spread out very thinly over the other 96.5% or our population and over 98% of our land area.

In Reality, again provable with the published FBI factual data, there are now around 20 states, (this rate is growing as I type), who have “constitutional carry laws”. All of these states have a much, much lower rate of gun crime and firearms violence then the big democrat run states and cities who have the strictest gun control laws.

Let me clearly define “constitutional carry”. First you have to be of an age defined by that particular state and not have a felony or violent misdemeanor criminal record. After those requirements are met, citizens of that state, and within that state, are authorized per US constitution 2A, the unrestricted carry of legal firearms, in that no permit is required, for open and/or concealed carry.

Constitutional carry equals less gun crime and firearms violence. This is a easily provable statement of fact.

The gun grabbers and those who support more gun control are trying to fix a problem that does not even exist for more than 95% of America/Americans. Basically they have to lie like a rug to try and define a need for more gun control.

As can be clearly defined and proven per published FBI data, Democrats have a gun violence problem in our nation. Red America, no where near as much.....

There is no gun show loophole, that is a liberal fantasy and bald faced lie.

Those people selling guns as a vendor at a gun sale are FFL, (Federal firearms license) holders and the same paperwork is filled out and the same state and federal laws are strictly followed. This includes NICS background checks exactly the same as they are always accomplished in any gun store doing legal business in that specific area.

When you hear the term “gun show loophole” Know that who ever is speaking those words is a bald faced liar.

Lets review now again proposed “assault weapons ban”.

First that term was designed by the press and the lefty politicians to indicate that these are military firearms. They are not, and again the left has to lie to imply that they are.

The AR platform rifles are nothing more than Modern Sporting rifles. AR platform modern sporting are a very commonly owned rifles with somewhere around a hundred million of them being legally owned by upstanding American citizens. AR-15 type rifles are widely utilized for recreation, self defense, and have been used almost exclusively in many of the top rated center fire rifle sporting competitions in our nation for decades.

An assault rifle is selectively fully automatic, (as in machine gun) and semi automatic, which means one discharge per trigger pull.

The AR-15/10 platform is a semi auto only modern sporting rifle that resembles the M-16 assault rifle that is used by many militaries today but the AR does not fire in a fully automatic mode. It is impossible for any AR ever sold to the public to fire as a machine gun without additional highly illegal and strictly controlled parts or unless the lower receiver is completely stripped and illegally re-manufactured as well as changing out the complete bold assembly in the upper receiver. I learned this while attending a house college gun smithing program and from building many AR-15’s. I know exactly what I’m talking about and I recognize the lies of the left every time I hear them.

Every Rifle on the open market today resembles some military rifle, the military rifle of its time. This is not at all saying that they function the same, only that firearms are almost always innovated for military application first then adapted to civilian laws for civilian sales.

Just like every semi-automatic rifle, bolt action rifle, single shot rifle, pump action and lever action rifle on the market today or residing in the hundred million homes across our nation, the AR simply resembles the military rifles of their time but does not function as it’s parent military rifle does.

This is not a new concept. The AR platform rifle is just a newer rifle that represents the technological and ergonomic advancement of firearms in our modern times. Bluntly it does not function as an M-16 rifle does, it only looks like the M-16. How a rifle looks in no way defines its function or its intended use.

Those who indicate different are bald faced liars.

As my last point to those who believe that new gun control laws will stop the gun death experienced in our nation.

First, the punks on the street in Chicago and Boston ignore all laws and they will also simply ignore any new laws as well. Some one who does not obey not murdering others will never obey gun control laws. They do not obey the gun control laws that exist now and will not in the future.

Mass shootings will not be effected by new gun laws being proposed today.

Why? Again per the well published FBI online data banks...

The vast majority of killers in mass shooting situations obtained their firearms and ammo under the laws that are now being proposed for entire nation, IE background checks ect. These laws already exist in several states.

We are talking about more than 80% obtained of these mass shooters obtained their weapons and ammo under these exact same laws that already exist in some states. Proof positive that these gun control laws did not work.

In the rest of the mass shooting events within the last 30 years in the USA, the firearms involved were stolen or obtained illegally by someone committing a felony to get their hands on them. Illegally also includes the several times they were obtained by murdering a friend or family member who had purchased the firearms legally.

In the low single digit incidence of mass murders not covered above, the firearms were obtained via the resources of organized crime. You are very involved in the reality of self delusion and wishful thinking if you believe any new gun control laws will inhibit organized crime in any way.

If you want to argue that point I will add only one statement.

Mexico has very oppressive and strict gun control laws but the violent organized crime cartels rule that country with force and fear that is backed by their massive volume of illegal firearms.

Check and mate.

Gun controllers can only try and make points for their issue by telling consistent and consecutive lies.

Our new VP is the biggest “gun” liar of the bunch.....

I hate ridiculous laws as much as the next person but keeping a cell phone number from one state when you move to another state is in a lot of ways so confusing.

My husband came home from the hospital two weeks ago and I had to leave so many messages for caregivers and Hospice and did not answer ANY that weren’t from our area code. I missed some that I really needed information from. One woman who came to the house told me that she’d had her out of state number forever and she wasn’t about to change it. I told her I don’t answer phone calls from unfamiliar area codes that show on caller ID without a name. She said it was just too difficult to change.

Consider how confusing it can be also when investigating crimes. A number or phone picked up in one state belonging to a person who lives 2500 miles away. Where do you start looking for the perpetrator? Glad it’s not my job - I have a hard enough time running the world!

I had someone attempt to buy a firearm I listed with an out-of-state license. I not only declined, I posted it here.
