The House just passed a bill requiring all gun sales to be?
This legislation is to make innocents into felons. It is for transfers not sales. All transfers everywhere every time a gun is transferred to another person. Example: my grown son, not a prohibited person, owns several guns. Needs a twenty gauge shotgun to hunt rabbits with. I own one and it is the least gangster gun you can imagine. Single shot with a honking long barrel. I lend it to him for the weekend, mind you he gave it to me as a gift, Ive just made felons of both of us. I could go to the pawn shop I use for transfers when I buy a gun over the internet. They charge 20 bucks a transfer. Im ok with this when I buy a Ohio Army Guard surplus shotgun from a guy in New Hampshire as I did last fall. Pawn shop is open I hand the gun and a portrait of Andy Jackson to the guy behind the counter. He runs my sons background and it comes back clean as I know it will. He hands the gun to my son after he filled out a two page form. Come Monday I want my shotgun back. Same process in reverse. 20 bucks and another background check. I always get a delay as I share a name and date of birth with a very bad man. I have a CHL and have a freaking pistol in my waistband but I cant get my Elmer Fudd shotgun back for two or three more days??? Wednesday I have to go back to the pawnshop to get my gun as once more Im approved for the transfer. Remember my license to carry a handgun is valid. Example two: My son and I have saved and worked overtime all year to go hunt elk in Wyoming. We are three days ride on horses in the back country. His horse stumbles and his gun is broken. I and the guide both have a spare gun. Thats six days to get to the gun store to get a background check to transfer the rifle and back to hunting. Mind you son, guide, and I are all packing a Magnum revolver as bear medicine or for a coup de grace on a wounded elk. We law abiding citizens are prohibited from lending a gun to another law abiding person for lawful purposes and criminal gangs are already smuggling untraceable unregistered unlawful guns into the county. It is a law set up to entrap the lawful. The criminal just scoffs. Same guns in the USA. We cant stop 10 tons of cocaine coming into the country. How will we stop these guns?
