(53,445 posts)but frankly think it is way more important to have penalties for selling felons guns. Currently, we de facto, have no penalty in most states for buying a car load of guns, taking them to a gun show, and selling them to felons in so called private sales. Under fast and furious, the AZ federal attorney refused to take to court cases of welfare recipients who bought hundreds of guns, costing thousands of dollars, for either reselling guns or welfare fraud. In other jurisdictions, federal attorneys refused to take cases where people went in and bought guns saying they were for personal use, went out in the parking lot, sold the gun, under the theory they could have changed their mind between the time they signed the document and the time they sold the gun making the signed document true instead of purgery.
