So, this Homey, who can’t legally own a gun, can’t sell a stolen gun to that Homey, who can’t legally own a gun, without a back ground check?

That would be against the law. (smirk)

Those who would give up necessary liberty for security deserve neither liberty nor security.

Well, first you will be required to register your firearms. Then the transfers can be traced. If you are caught with an unregistered firearm, it will be jail time.

Here’s the rub, if it is illegal to have an unregistered firearm after a certain date, then possessing it or registering it would be a violation of your 5th Amendment right prohibiting self-incrimination.

Supposedly in Germany, in order to turn in a gun, they towed it down the street on a string.

So they were not in possession of a gun.

That didn’t seem to stop them from instituting the 1986 machine gun ban..
