I think they’re just as pointless as restrictions on what free men can own guns.
Guns are 14th century technology.
Anyone with moderate intelligence and 14th century intelligence can make a gun.
So long as guns are not registered, guns can be bought or sold privately.
using leftist logic, a background check is racist
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Seems simple enough for me.

Not too long ago, I remember how the parts kit for a Sten Gun was being sold. There used to be ads in Shotgun News. The kit contained everything but the receiver tube had been torched, rendering it ineffective. Then some entrepreneurial type started selling metal tubes with a stencil glued to it that showed where the appropriate holes went. Anybody that wanted a cheap submachine gun could put one together for less than $200.

That version is slightly better than what exists today, but it doesn't make improper retention of information by government physically impossible. There is a way to do so and insure truly anonymous background checks (and I actually wouldn't object to universal background checks if done that way) but if they wouldn't even go for that one, they obviously wouldn't go for a real one. Since, when you offer them what they claim they want (UBC) without the thing they say they don't (back door registration) and they reject it, you know they're lying. Course, they're politicians, so that's just to be assumed.
I’m pretty sure No. 1 is a flat out lie. Most criminals buy stolen guns from either the criminal who stole it or another criminal who bought it from the criminal who stole it. Oh, and there’s no background check.
Because of the many ways that background checks can be evaded, background checks are not a viable method of reducing crime.
Anyone who's at all seriously concerned about crime ignores guns and concentrates on the root cause of crime: criminals.
How hard was that to figure out?
Up here we all got guns and sometimes you can up a nice gun at
10. a LAWN SALE
My relative just picked a a Japanese bolt-action 6.*mm for a buck at a
10.LAWN SALE here.
My nephew picked up a 12 ga for 5 bucks here at a
10.LAWN SALE
This thread should probably be pulled.
NOTHING will get you in trouble faster with ATF than talking about building NFA devices.
The exaggerations about straw purchases are also anti-Second-Amendment propaganda.
I would rewrite the article, because it places too much emphasis on how criminals obtain guns. Instead it should emphasize how honest citizens can obtain a gun “beneath the radar” of the rather intensive and tricky ways used by the government and others to figure out who owns guns and of what kinds.
For example, if you make a private gun purchase and pay in cash, the sale may be unknown, unless the seller shoots his mouth off. Which he likely won’t do if he doesn’t know much of anything about you.
Next, buying ammunition is just as tricky, because if you buy 9mm, for example, they have reason to believe that you own a 9mm weapon. And certain of it if you use a credit card, or the dealer has security cameras just for people who buy ammo. This also applies for gun paraphernalia.
So it is far more important to use a straw buyer for ammo.
Google in AK 47 parts kit. There are plenty of places you can buy a complete AK47 parts kit with no questions asked. These are complete kits all you need to do it put it together which is not all that difficult. Usually run around $500.00 give or take a few dollars.
