Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - Keeping guns out of the hands of criminals is the goal of two bills being introduced by Assemblymembers Sam Hoyt and Crystal Peoples.

The first would prevent the sale of guns at pawn shops; the second would call for a study of minimum security standards at any location where guns are sold.

The bills are spurred in part by the theft of guns during the search for fugitive Ralph Phillips as well as the thefts of guns from a city pawn shop during the storm two weeks ago.

So if guns are stolen from a private home, are they gonna call for a ban of guns inside private homes?

[Leisler]

Outlaw the hands of criminals. No criminal hands, no need to ban guns.

If Pawn shops stopped selling guns here in violent/sarc North Dakota, they'd be empty.

The more unconstitutional laws these idiots pass the bigger and more pervasive will be the black market for guns.
I have absolutely no hope that the grabbers will ever see reason or logic past their fears of other people and thier own insecurities and give up trying to control and steal from others. Isn't that what criminals are? Insecure and fearful of poverty so they have to steal from others.
Free secure people don't need to steal from others nor control others.

If someone can't sell a gun to a pawn shop where the pawn shop is obliged to go through the Brady check of the customer when it is resold, then people will just sell them independently on the street through meetings at bars and other places where there is no check of the customer who purchases it. Won't this result in making it easier for criminals to get guns since the supply of available guns will move from a Brady-check supply chain to non-traceable independent person-to-person sales? It seems extraordinarily stupid to me.

The more laws like this, that happier the criminals will be.
