"During a six-month period in 1990, Gustavo Salazar, a Type I FFL kitchen-table dealer in Los Angeles purchased more than 1,500 guns and sold them to gang members and other individuals. An ATF check on 1,165 handguns sold by Salazar revealed that only four had been registered under California law."
"From February to June 1990 Detroit kitchen-table dealer McClinton Thomas ordered hundreds of handguns. All of the guns were sold off the books, including 90 guns to a "big-time dope dealer."
They are giving legitimate dealers a bad name. They hurt the cause we're fighting for.
"Drinking and driving ARE overt, actual actions that are illegal and life-threatening."
Well, first of all, it's the illegality that I'm questioning. When I ask why it's illegal, it's poor form to respond, "because it's illegal".
Drinking and driving MAY threaten lives, sure. But simply driving threatens more lives, wouldn't you agree? So, "life-threatening" doesn't seem to be a legitimate reason.
Where's the actual harm in DWI? That's what I'm asking. That's exactly what the other poster asked about all the FFL holders. Where's the real harm?
Answer: There is none. It's an absurd question. I was demonstrating the absurdity of it by asking an equally absurd question about drinking and driving. Get it?
