(57,819 posts)in favor of a transparent pretense that the so called law actually governs everything that goes on at gun sales. Moreover, you become enraged that others actual care about the reality of gun sales rather than the theoretical law gun lobby propagandists pretend is controlling.
Private sellers operate at gun shows. They don't do background checks. They are not required by law to do background checks. The pro-2A host of the Gungeon admits that in this very sub thread. But you aren't concerned with reality. You become enraged when people talk about the world as it is. Felons, illegal arms traffickers, and drug traffickers get steady access to arms through gun shows. The ATF has shown that, as have any number of other sources.
You instead focus on your mindless contention that the "law" is all anyone needs to know. Yeah, it's illegal for felons to buy guns? So fucking what? The laws are ignored, and since private sellers aren't required to do background checks, it's easy to pretend a buyer isn't a felon and/or running arms into Mexico. The reason the law isn't enforced is because of shills for the gun lobby who devote themselves to the spreading propaganda, pretending the laws on paper are adequate and unlicensed and untracked sales are not commonplace. They are common because that is how the merchants of death and their lackeys want them. They are common because gun reactionaries tirelessly work to deceive the public by pretending some abstract law that doesn't even effectively control private sellers means anything. They work day in and day out to deceive the public in the interests of the profits for Murder Inc.
So no, I will not sell my soul to the gun lobby. You and Wayne LaPierre will never, even when hell freezes over, like anything I have to say. I wear that as a badge of honor. I will always value the public good and human rights over gun lobby profits. I'm a human being with a conscience. Deal with it. This is a Democratic site and I have a right to support the Democratic Party on guns. I am not interested in your pro-gun lobby view of the world. I can log onto the NRA to see that anytime without the vitriol that characterizes your posts.
So just assume everything I saw will piss you off. As long as you sign on to Democratic Underground you are going to be faced with the horror of running into Democrats who don't stump for Murder Inc. Deal with it. You can save yourself the horror of having to be exposed to people who actually care more about human life than gun industry profits by not reading our posts. In fact, it is in your best interests to leave me alone entirely. That means I expect you will not respond to this or any future posts of mine.
