AMEN
Yes and nowadays its cheaper to buy it that way than from a proper gun store in say chicago or NYC. That's cos you're buying it from someone who bought it in TX or SC.
If that WFO market didn't exist ... criminals will be fighting for the fewer that come through from mexico ... as you know, it would be gun or cocaine ... so its worth its weight in cocaine. For law abiding, you can buy it @ a gun store.
Here are some more items to think about.
The law abiding people dont keep needing guns. You dont have a "need to get rid of a gun". That eliminates the constant turn over needed.
Criminals will keep needing guns ... they have 1 right now, its useful in the 1 crime they use it in, past that, its a liability, it ends in the bottom of the river. A cheap gun from SC is needed for their next crime.
Criminals are the target market of the NRA. Register every gun and the owner after background check and every sale and keep rifling marks on everything and you will almost instantly see a huge drop in gun crime, without any impact on gun defence. Of course that will deflate the NRA, cos unless criminals keep getting guns that they keep tossing in the river the NRA's backers the gun industry dont get squat.
Have you heard this one - if car companies had about 3lb of nickel average more per car in the steel they buy, you would never have to deal with rust. Of course they wont do that cos it cocsts them a sale. Same with guns and NRA.
They need it to be loosey goosey ... so anyone can buy a gun ... that way criminals will be able to always buy and restock after they toss their gun after a crime.
Then they tell you ... "criminals will always have guns" so you should get one ... or 20 ...
Utter garbage.
Yea I see all the registration = confiscation crap ... total BS.
Registration and rifling data are a big line of defence against criminals ... and it doesn't involve shooting the bullet before it shoots you.
Cool.
