Passing unconstitutional, unenforceable laws that [law abiding] citizens refuse to obey is destroying the respect for law in this country. A very slippery slope.
So, what will the leftist statists do? What they always do with a failed policy - double down.
What happens when liberals keep poking a very large bear with a stick?
We are going to find out.
It’s a matter of when, not if.
“A-dubs in Austin” Thanks to Joe Pags for that. A-dubs= aSS. As in “a -double S”
“Suppose you sell a gun to a trusted friend — no problem, right? Well, suppose someone steals it from him and shoots the victim in a holdup. You can bet your bottom dollar that they will have plenty of time to trace that gun back to you and there will be dire consequences... “
Chances are LE would go directly to the last known owner since they’d have no way of knowing of the transfer. Possible the thief will further incriminate himself, but I’d imagine criminal exposure for the transferees would depend on how savvy they are.
I said from day 1, so-called “Universal Background Checks” were just a gateway to gun registration. As soon as the gun grabbers got universal background checks, they would suddenly “discover” (they actually knew all along) that the vast majority of private sellers would simply ignore the background check requirement and enforcement would be impossible because the government doesn’t have the slightest idea who owns what guns or when a private sale takes place. So the next step is going to be saying, “Wow, we just realized there is no actual way to track when a gun sale takes place because we have no list of who owns what.” We need a “common sense” registration system... something like an automobile title...so we can make sure the universal background check requirement is being followed and a record is kept anytime ownership is transferred!”
It's not possible to confiscate 400 million guns from 150 million gun owners. Can't be done, even if you tasked the entire U.S. military with the job.
I agree, it would be a fool’s errand.
The same people who believe that it can be done tell us it is impossible to remove illegal aliens.
Guns are much easier to hide.
Many mass murderers commonly go thru background checks and pass them.
Most common criminals won’t do background checks even if they could pass them. They don’t want firearms tied or traced to them.
Or the Phatheads in Phoenix
...the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed...
I know what you mean, when I sell a used car I take a picture of that person to every bar and liquor store in 100 mile radius. Yknow what I say the other day? Someone selling panties at a garage sale to just any random stranger who walked up! What if someone used those for prostitution or to strangle someone! Irresponsible people just piss me off.
The commies will respond to these facts by instituting yet more draconian consequences for failing to jump through their tyrannical bureaucratic hoops.
And don’t forget the dickheads in Dallas.
“...when I sell a used car I take a picture of that person to every bar and liquor store in 100 mile radius. “
An unnecessary step in WA state. You are required to notify the DOL of the transfer date, current address of purchaser and DL number if available.
The good news is you are still free to resell your panties.
Scratch a liberal, find a storm trooper. What this one means is that an example must be set in order to terrorize the public into compliance. It really, really isn't going to work like that.
I'm gonna use "Retards in Richmond."
May your chains rest lightly...
