So what is you stand in NK crisis?
Will NK attack SK?
Will NK invaded by US&SK (or china or other country)?
What is the future of NK?
Do you think NK or US (or other nation) will use their nuclear arsenal?
Wrong! Again as in Il. If you purchase a weapon out of state you must have it transferred to an Il. FFL and fill out all the necessary forms and wait your time. In Mo. You have to do the same.
Il. Has had state back ground checks since the Brady Law went into effect, and has done quite a remarkable job. Sure there were a few that slipped thru the cracks but nothings perfect.
So sure I could buy a weapon in Mo. since they are more lax about the waiting period, but I'd still have to have it transferred to an Il. dealer and wait my time.
Doing this on a national level is feasible, and the states could do it themselves since its ONLY a background check and nothing more.
To be perfectly blunt, my argument was why can't the states themselves do the background checks like here in Illinois. Here the state police do the background check, you the buyer gets charged a $2 fee for it(tagged on to the weapons price) and or either approved or denied. In the latter case they are there waitin for you to come a pick up said piece and you go to jail!
There's no need to get the federal gov't involved unless its an investigation or something has raised a red flag, like say a massive purchase of multiple weapons. Like say you buy one AR-15, that cool, you buy 5-10, and the ATFE will be knockin on your door!
Untraceable? HA! Sorry but if its got its serial# it's in the system!
Bannin weapons is illeagal under the constitution, registerin them ain't. And most states could do it without bringin in the Feds.
I could go on about this and what it really boils down too, but that's best left to a private message.
I understand where your coming from, and see your point.
However most weapons have serial #s that have a paper trail. Once said weapon is taken from a crime scene the investigator can enter said # into a data base which will show were it came from, where it was sent and to what dealer sold it. Then the Form 4473s are gone through to find the original owner, who upon bein questioned should provide a bill of sale and the whereabouts if the person(s) who bought it from him or her. If not then said person(s) can be held accountable for the weapons usage!
If the serial# is removed the ATFE will investigate fully! Plus all other evidence will be investigated fully.
Speakin for me self, the only way said robber would get said weapon from me would be if I'm dead at his/her hands, a fairly tall order considering my background.
And I highly doubt much will be done to curtail private transactions outside if gun shows and firearms dealers. Here in Il. even if you come to a gun show and attempt to swell a piece to another individual ONE MUST OBEY THE WAITING PERIOD AND FILL OUT A FORM 4473!!
Now see, we can be civil about this can't we?
And what would constitute them coming to take said weapon?
If all it does is set in me safe and occasionally go out and shoot some cans or paper, how am I breakin the law?
You never did answer this question^. Wanna give it a shot now?
