divorcee's, third dui (I think), ... convicted assault "criminals" .. (I put that in quotes because a lot of domestic violence is drunken or you just pissed me off this one time ) ... stuff like that
Criminals that know they're criminals never try.
THESE kinds of reports are designed to raise unsuspecting hackles and get the thought processes going to align someone with a numb electorate and not an intelligent decision.
IMO
I don’t think you’re wrong.
A buddy was on an ATF task force. Responsible for investigating buyers who had “delayed hits”, bought the gun legally, found out later they were prohibited.
Phone call was made and they were asked to turn the gun in. Usual response was, “ATF going to reimburse me? No. Bye”. Nothing after that.
