(10,622 posts)You are either hopelessly uninformed or unaware how criminals in NY get guns (they just buy them at gun shows without checks, at least that is how my gun worshiping idiot redneck neighbors get them) criminal records and all.
Or you are playing stupid because you think the rest of us are?
We are not.
We appear to be smarter than you in that we know how to use the loopholes you pretend don't exist.
I can drive south and buy one without a background check (or several guns actually for under the table re-sale if I wanted to) just by approaching a "private seller". In quotes because many of these "private sellers" move guns every week of the year and are not the guy selling his shotgun privately to a buyer as you'all like to pretend.
It is big business and how most of the guns make it to MY CITY streets to be used by criminals.
Let's just get rid of that major supply of guns to criminals first OK and then perhaps NEXT limit sales to hunting weapons only, My father hunted for years without need of anything more than a shotgun and a recurve bow. He for some reason never needed to use an assault rifle, armor piercing rounds, or 100 round clips to bag his prey.
Perhaps he was simply a much better man than those that need war weapons to take down game.
Perhaps he was just not such a pussy that fear drove him to acquire a small arsenal designed to kill humans not animals.
He did serve in two wars and was a cop in Lubbock Texas for 4 years, so maybe he was just more of a man.
I know a buck is scary, but man up will ya?
