Yes.....there is no reason to license gun owners, no need to register guns (if it is unConstitutional to require felons to register their illegally owned guns, then it is unConstitutional to force normal gun owners to register theirs) and there is no need to have universal background checks...
How do I know we don't need those things...because another illegal gun seller was caught without them....he was caught the way all other criminals are caught...with actual police work...
New Hampshire man arrested for trafficking arms to Massachusetts
John Miller, 29, was arrested on a host of charges in Tewksbury, which is about a 30-mile drive from his home in Milford, New Hampshire. Charges include:
Miller agreed to meet with an undercover ATF agent at the Holiday Inn in Tewksbury. He sold undercover agent an assault rifle, shotgun, and more than 3,000 rounds of ammo.
After Miller was arrested, investigators searched his car and found a loaded handgun and more ammunition. He was arraigned at a Lowell District Court on Oct. 21.
Now....do you think if he was willing to sell all these weapons illegally, and risk a long jail sentence and huge fines....that any law that you create could keep him from doing this.....
Would licensing this guy have stopped him?
No.
Would requiring him to register those guns have stopped him?
No.
Would requiring that all private sales go through a background check have stopped him?
No.
So what is the point to those laws......?
