12. Nice rant.

Unfortunately, it bears no relation to the topic under discussion. The FFL dealers are asking why the state feels it has the right to ask them to operate at a loss. The gun owners are asking how they can comply with the law when the FFLs are unwilling to bear the financial burden of the transaction.

The price cap is unrealistic, and it makes compliance with the law more difficult. Whether this can be attributed to incompetence or calculation is up for discussion.

Child molesters, wife beaters, and violent felons, oh my!

Anyone who uses the term "freedumb" is self-identifying as a propagandist hack with no interest in good-faith discussion. I'm just sayin' ...
