Cash for Guns

[JGalt]

We're having a gun show Friday and Saturday, being held in the Community Center of my small town. It's usually a small show of 20-30 vendors, each using between 1-5 tables, and the show is put on 2-3 times a year.

So today is Wednesday and while I was driving home, I see a man sitting in a parked car at the far end of the Community Center property, right next to the main highway. He has a 32" by 24" two-sided plywood sign that read "Cash for Guns." I would guess that what this entrepreneur is doing, is buying them cheap for resale at the upcoming gun show.

Is this a great country or what?

Sigh, reminds me of the Hillsville, Virginia event when the whole town is turned into a flea market......Well more like a open air arms bazaar.

Of course the dems fucked that all up in the two years they held sway by banning private sales....Rotten vile animals.

Or he could be buying them to sell out of his trunk to inner city thugs, or maybe cartels. A legit dealer doesn't usually do street transactions.

We had a huge show in Roanoke, Virginia and there would be as many private sellers outside as venders inside.

I went there a couple of times and never did make it inside.

The gun shows here have "private sellers" who are unlicensed. They're usually pretty careful who they sell to, watching out for minors, illegals, and suspicious-acting people. It's not unusual to see someone doing a transaction in the parking lot of the Walmart.

And they have no idea if they're selling to an illegal straw buyer or not.

Face to Face sales of New Handguns should be verboten ( BGC on New HG sales should be a national requirement ?)

Didn't you say you live in CA? Isn't this guy required to have an FFL? If he doesn't, why hasn't law enforcement stopped this. Am I mistaken about the law in CA requiring a licensed gun dealer to be involved in all firearms transactions and the gun is required to be held for 10 days? Something smells fishy in Denmark. Oops, I thought I was responding to Failzero, not JGalt. My apologies, please disregard this post.

Nope, Wisconsin. The land of a bazillion guns.

And there's no enforceable law in this state that prohibits buying guns.

Same in ID. Unfortunately I live nearby in WA and their laws are nearly identical to CA.

In Wisconsin and Idaho if you go to an FFL ( Gun Shop) To purchase a new Sig or a Colt Anaconda or Glock you need to get a BGC

 

[Leo123]

Guns are never going to go away. Gun grabbing legislation will only disarm the law abiding. Criminals will get guns, some will 3-d print them others will just build them.

That's all well and good, but you can purchase from private parties and gun shows without that requirement.

A lot of people don't like the government knowing what guns they have, they'd rather buy one with no paper trail. It's not that they intend to commit a crime, but the BATF could subpoena any FFL holder for their records if they wanted.

Most, if not all, gun shows require people renting spaces to sell firearms to have FFLs.

Selling NEW Handguns is an FFL affair in most cases

They don't in my state. The private sellers even put signs on their tables stating that they're private sellers. They do pretty well because a lot of people hate paperwork.

I'd be willing to bet that not one single law-enforcement officer at those "gun buybacks" is a license holder, nor do they complete any paperwork for the transaction when they buy back the guns.

Sure, I mean that is obviously true.

But, by the same token, a gas station has no idea if the person gassing up his white van will be delibering dog food, or kidnapping kids, a grocery store that sells baby formula doesn't know if this purchaser of a case at a time has a large family, runs a daycare, or works for a baby selling ring.

Some guy passing up a chance to buy and sell guns because one of the purchasers might be a criminal isn't going to stop those criminals from getting guns.
