You should perhaps apply for a position with either the Obama Administration or perhaps with the U.N. with beliefs you profess to have. Weapon sales between private law abiding citizens is no one others business, not even yours and most especially Big Sis or the BATF!
Please read my response to Beelzebubba #31.
But you are 100% correct. The operative word is "law abiding citizens". Are you for selling guns to felons, gang bangers and crazy people? If you aren't, then you are on my side.
Say for instance you decide to sell your guns at a gun show and you rent a table. If two big gang member pick up one of your pistols or maybe a MAC 90 off of your table and want to buy it, would you tell them, "I'm sorry gentlemen, but I do not believe you qualify to purchase that weapon under the federal gun control act of 1968." I don't think so. What if a normal looking guy wants to buy one? Can you tell if he is a felon or a serial killer? No. What if you didn't get the gang bangers true name and address? After your gun us used to kill a cop, you can say, "Well officer, yes I did sell it to this big guy with gang tattoos and scars all over his face and arms...and yes, one of his tattoos did say, "off the pigs"". That's the problem.
Now if you sold some guns without going to a gun show, you would probably not make them available to the criminal element. You would not bring gang bangers or criminals to your house or place of business. You would probably sell them to people you feel good about, friends or friends of friends since if the gun is used in a crime, it may be traced back to you.
I love gun shows. I don't want criminals to take advantage of them at our expense. I believe in private sales of firearms, but not at gun shows because a sale is not just a "private sale", but a sale that comes under the authority of the gun show operators and reflects on the gun show in general.
There, I think I have discussed the issue explaining my views without impugning your character or your patriotism. This seems to be kind of rare nowadays on FreeRepublic.
