Sooo...all those gun laws aimed at law abiding citizens work....at harrassing law abiding citizens and making it harder, and in some cases impossible, for them to own or carry guns....
Criminals....not really affected by all those gun laws...case in point....
Sighting of massive gun cache leads to arrest of fugitive
Officers and federal agents later secured a search warrant and seized more than 400 firearms — many converted into machine guns — scrap parts to modify a gun’s action to automatic, and more than 20,000 rounds.
“I am very disturbed about the number and the types of weapons seized by our officers,” Jones said. “This represents the types of weapons patrol officers encounter on a daily basis and reinforces law enforcement’s need to have the proper tools to protect themselves and the community.”
“This is a significant arrest that takes hundreds of dangerous military-grade firearms off the streets and keeps them out of the wrong hands,” he added.
A background check revealed that Durant was arrested in 2013 by U.S. Marshals in Mesa, Arizona. He was wanted for escaping a prison program in South Dakota in 1997.
He was convicted in federal court in 1991 of unlawful possession and transfer of automatic weapons.
A convicted felon....and he had fully automatic weapons in the mix of 400.....
--do you think he passed a mandatory background check for those weapons...
--do you think he has a federal license to own machine guns....
--do you think he has a license for those guns
--do you think he limited himself to only 10 round magazines...
--do you think he registered all those guns....
OH MY!
And he's a felon to boot? OH MY!
He got all those guns even without a background check? MY OH MY!
Could it be that perhaps, maybe this criminal and felon got around that technicality somehow?
You know like the Gun show loophole that the 2A'ers and NRA just gotta have where the dealers at these shows don't have to do jack shit on a buyers background except to be sure the CASH is not counterfeit?
From Fontana, CA its not far to the gun shows from the Central Valley South or those in AZ or NV. And I'm sure there are lots of underground customers in SoCal to make that a profitable enterprise for crooks. Gun show prices for weapons are a lot lower that black market prices for obvious reasons.
But to get butt hurt over the downside of the gun show loophole the 2A'ers and NRA have blocked repeatedly from becoming law is really no reason to act like the gun law nutters are being put upon! Life's a bitch then you die!
ALL licensed gun dealers MUST preform background checks even at Gunshows you retard. THAT is the law. Further almost all firearms sold at gunshows come from LICENSED Dealers. Also a fact. But you dumb asses keep ignoring facts and make shit up.
If they are licensed gun dealers, and
if they use their business in that manner to sell at gun shows in the State in which they're licensed, and
if they don't sell to straw buyers under the table or otherwise, yeah! If you're claiming
ALL DEALERS have to perform the same background checks as those
licensed dealers in their
licensing State at gun shows then you're full of shit!
So 'splain to me why the 2A'ers and the NRA have fought so bloody hard to keep gun show sales exempted from background checks for each transaction, if as you imply, most sellers at gun shows are licensed dealers!
I'm fine with others exercising the 2A rights, but I don't believe those rights extend to dealers at gun shows to break the law and sell to straw buyers to supply weapons to criminals. If you feel otherwise, then you're an IDIOT!
