Naaaa..... I believe her this time, I'm sure she's telling the truth!!:guns:

Where do people get the idea that there are no background checks? When you buy a gun, the first thing you have to do is fill out a form and consent to a background check to the FBI.

not all states and I think they are talking long guns now. The one I don't like is restricting ammo count.

How do they think they can accomplish controlling current ammunition stock-piles? Go back to tunnel-rat tactics used in Vietnam, or door to door property searches? :lostmarbles:

Start in Chicago, bang on all the doors you want. Let us know how that works out.... I can promise you there are some doors here in Tennessee that they will regret knocking on... I'm just sayin' :guns:


Jeff-

Who here lives in a state where they don't require a background check to buy a gun?

I've never heard of that. Here in MO, that is the protocol, even at a gun show, despite what you hear about those 'gun show loopholes'.

Well in NYC, you can't buy a soda larger than how many ounces? :lmao:
brilliant.

A video worth sharing:

33 states have no requirement, and the other 17 have varying degrees of checks that fall into 3 buckets, background check, background check for handgun only and background check for a permit that allows you then to purchase guns, which is what MO has and what to me makes the most logical sense to me as not only could it close the loophole, it could actually provide some benefit for responsible gun owners, for example you could lower the waiting period, or really just not ban any guns or clips or anything.

Reality is rules and background checks only work with law abiding individuals. Though they also lay a road map identifying landmines for non-law abiding individuals.

Those with a need that cannot pass the paperwork and background check procedures resort to alternative resources. Their wait time depends on their connections, local market inventory, and budget. Those connections can also be informants providing information on households that have guns that are easy burglary/robbery targets.
