You need to know this..........

[70rs]

In Wa. we have 5 year CCW permits. (concealed carry permit)
So we have to renew anyway. AND go through the background check for each firearm purchase. A long time ago, if you had a permit you could just walk in, show the permit and buy any gun and walk out. Now they look alot deeper before approving a purchase. It is the same for all legal firearms here, shotgun, rifle, pistol. But do any of you know ANY criminal that even tries to buy a weapon that way? So it really only lets our gov't keep tabs on the law abiding good guys and gals that choose to have a firearm for any legal reason. The bad guys and gals are not on the radar so to speak. They buy them from unknown sources with no record and grind off the serial numbers, use them in a crime and throw it away or re sell it to another criminal.
Hey, It sounds like a great plan to me!!
