In your dreams.

And maybe mine too.

But the fact is that they are prosecuting people just for thinking or saying ......whatever.

So in their minds, you would be guilty and prosecuted just for agreeing to sell.

What is scary is that your statement is believable.

Pretty much the story behind Waco and Ruby Ridge. Make a law abiding person who they don’t agree with a criminal and then go after them.

I can almost always tell a black person’s voice from a white person’s voice.

There are distinct qualities about 90% of the time.

I’d no more sell a gun than I would sell my 1st born. My 3rd born, now that’s a different question.

I was a gun dealer for many years and ATF practice was to periodicaly try to entrap me, and other dealers, by offering obviously illegal transactions. Most of these were clumsily done and obvious. The proper answer is a simple refusal. Don't make a personal attack, or they may seek vengeance, and they are in a position to falsify evidence against you. Read “Unintended Consequences” by John Ross.

I find that black voices tend to be more smooth, while white voices sound clipped and crystal-like.

It isn’t absolute, but that’s what I do find.

These people want a war against true Americans.

It’s just that simple.

I am sick and tired of these folks and what they are pulling.

How dare the Federal government interfere with my right to sell a hand gun online to a convicted felon!

Seems legit...

I am a linguist. I can often tell just by the tone of someone's voice their ethnicity.

Yup. Got a call from Amex one day. Asked where she was calling from and she said "Miami". I asked her how far Miami was from New Dehli.

Should have told him: “Hey Mr. BATFE agent, you have to work on your scam pretext entrapment script, it is just too lame and obvious.”

Exactly right. That's what I'd have said. Don't give them an inch, bust them on the spot. We're too smart for the b.s.

“Winnowing out gun sellers, one at a time.”

Not only that but some of the companies that provide transaction services to ammo and firearms auctions are requiring your SSAN before you’re allowed to bid.

This was not required one month ago but apparently is now. Ran into that one yesterday and basically said F that noise.

There is no reason not to believe this was an FBI or BATFE agent attempting to entrap citizens, and, therefore, to post his entire number. This man is probably part of an operation calling every person offering guns on line, with the same story. (Out of state, felony record, straw purchase.) Enticing people to commit crimes is, of course, enticement (which is a crime) but they face no accountability whatsoever.

You should have given him your “address” somewhere in a parched far western part of Texas where he could “buy” the gun, then blocked his number.

“Told him that I was selling them to get rid of them because I know what is going to happen.”

More on this?

How did you know he was black?

I would have gone with:

Can I ax you how did you know he was black?

> “I don’t understand why more folks by the millions don’t rise up ...”

There are no ‘flags’ to group under YET.

Yes, there’s our American flag but as of now, it’s in enemy hands.

There are flags coming and those flags will unite if certain local battles are won first.

November 2020 was one battle.

November 2022 may be the decisive battle.

In-between there will be dozens of battles.

To win, first there must be unity around the blinding TRUTH to reveal which side God is on. This TRUTH will UNIFY-PROTECT-INSPIRE.

The TRUTH shines brightly and you and others may feel it shines through you but it must shine from places where groups of Americans can point knowing it is real and cannot be denied. These places are marked by flags. I believe these flags will be States and these States, having TRUTH on their side will unite to take back the American flag that was stolen from them.
