I've bought and sold guns here without any problem. Maybe the world isn't as simple as you think.
And maybe those penumbras and emanations are bullshit.
I haven’t been able to buy a handgun in California for years. You see, the State of California promised me that if I got trained and passed a safety test, I would get a Basic Firearms Safety Card that would be good for life. I got that card.
A few short years later they told me the card was no longer worth anything and I had to get a new card, etc. They keep changing the rules and raising the bar.
It is a never-ending process with California. I think it is all about the money.
