And yet, how many times has that ever actually happened?
Which is why one of my biggest complaints is what seems to be a complete and utter lack of interest in busting the FFL’s doing these shady gun sales, prosecuting straw purchasers, and lying on the background check form.
Good, because again, let me reiterate: What the actual fuck. I’ve been to numerous gun shows over the years and that’s just nuts. About the worst thing you normally see is the guys who are just a little too into buying/selling Nazi memorabilia, unfortunately.
I mean, what other criteria would make you feel better about it? They still don’t do anything to discourage two of the biggest problems that are seldom prosecuted: Lying on a background check form and straw purchases.
I mean, as for your illegal arms dealer gun show guy, I hope you reported him to the ATF. Like, what the actual hell? But also, it isn’t exactly as if illegal full autos and reactivated grenades are a problem in this country either. I can’t remember the last time I heard of an illegally converted or proper full auto…
If you were selling commercially, you’re still legally required to perform a background check. The lady in the article didn’t even get that far because her address was wrong. If you were involved in private transactions, no there isn’t really much stopping you from selling to anyone. There still wouldn’t be even if we…
I suppose that all depends on how well you can control your unhinged behavior in public. I’m assuming you weren’t ranting and raving at the gun counter. Given the way many people around here post, I find it suspect that they can control themselves any better in their real lives. The thing is, for anyone that does have…
Gun shows are not the problem, hell private sales in and of themselves are not the problem. Even if you think they are, there’s an easy solution to that: Open NICS to the general public. It won’t eliminate people who are willing to sell to prohibited persons, because nothing short of confiscation and summary execution…

Well this explains why AT&T has been doing a piss poor job of fixing their telcom problems over the past few weeks.
Because then at that point why even bother with the pretense of having rules at all?
Ahh yes, because trying to change the rules of the game has never come back and bitten the Democrats in the ass before.
Fun thought experiment: Who among us would gladly get paid to be a crummy head coach of a crummy professional football team for two years and change? Show of hands?
I’d wager very few people in Congress want anyone taking too close a look at their finances. People earning less than 200k/yr ending up millionaires within a few years. Nothing shady about that at all, right?
Especially when there are already products on the market that do exactly that. It seems silly to leave that feature off when you’d think that would be something your target demographic would want.
Oh I make no claims that hoping DNF would be a good game wasn’t incredibly naive, frankly it’s a miracle anything even came out at all. It went through, what, 3 or 4 game engine changes over its development cycle? That should’ve been a sign that the game wasn’t meant to be released right there.
Clearly you weren’t one of the few that had hope Duke Nukem Forever would actually be a good game.
Oh, undoubtedly. Bump stocks never were, and never will be an actual problem. The anti-gun folks talk about wanting compromise, but what they really want is death by a thousand cuts of private gun ownership. And every time gun owners have buckled and compromised on something, it has generally not been for the better.
