” A loophole in Maine law allows dangerous people to buy guns from unlicensed sellers without a background check.”


That “loophole” is known as liberty. People have the right to sell their own personal property...except guns, according to this totalitarian. The 2nd Amendment says,”...the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”. That means something - and being required to go through a licensing or permitting process is a very definite infringement. Just going through a FFL transfer costs time and money, an infringement.

Screw all of these people, I am so k of them. Bad people WILL get weapons, but that is not justification to infringe on the rights of others. What’s next, prior restraint on all free speech because SOME people incite violence or revolution?

“Bad people WILL get weapons, but that is not justification to infringe on the rights of others.”

And it’s not limited to the 2A! Try, when you are in need of serious pain medications following a medical procedure. Just like gun owners, people in pain are treated like criminals for needing “Schedule 1” pain drugs ( Opiates and Opioids). You doctor can’t phone in a prescription. It has to go on special paper and be hand delivered. Then the mfers in the pharmacy have to “validate” the prescription by calling the doctor. But hey, some a$$hoie who wants to get high, has a tougher time doing it, and we get a whole effing bureaucracy setup with pensions, and all the acoutriments so life is good, right? Drugs or Guns, it’s all the same worthless $hit, and we have worthless turds like this attorney telling us just how “bad things are.”
