Are you serious?
Do you really believe that load of bull?
An infringement is an infringement regardless of the middlemen involved.
The onus should be in the form of punishment for the person whose rights have been abrogated via due process. Buy (steal) or possess a gun when you are prohibited and face harsh penalties. As it is now, the innocent and law abiding are treated as criminals who must prove their innocence in order to exercise their rights. That’s just plain wrong.
"As it is now, the innocent and law abiding are treated as criminals who must prove their innocence in order to exercise their rights. That’s just plain wrong."
As I said, no buyer has to prove anything, nor are they treated as criminals. The buyer fills out the form. The FFL calls in with the info, gets a go/nogo on the proposed transaction and it's done. No one is searched, nor are their rights violated. The only way info about anyone can end up in the dbase, is if they generate it themselves, by causing a court action that results in a felony conviction, adjudicated psychotic, or got involved in a domestic.
There's lots of other things that are rights violations. Like the domestic, gun bans, licencing, ect... to focus on. I don't see this as a violation, or anythng to be concerned over. To oppose it in the present political and social climate is negligent, because it would allow felons and psychotics to walk in and buy off the shelf, and has the pollitical impact of painting an a pic of gun owners as negligent, uncaring folks.
