” felons getting guns”
They buy a pistol brace..?
Maine was never your typical blue-urban state, but the migration of leftists from Mass, NY, and elsewhere to Portland has turned it into a mini-SF, with all the attendant crime problems. Not to mention the Feds dumping Somali “refugees” in the state.
Gun control laws aren’t about public safety: they are about punishing people who believe in gun ownership. It’s more about Thoughtcrimes than violent crime.

Who cares
Do the time and the paper
Rights restored
That was the law to 1968 and had avenues to appeal that till Trent Lott revoked funding in 1994
Anybody figure how many rightists are gun disenfranchised ?
A f lot of em
The duallist on YouTube has podcasts on getting around it
Better than nothing
Pre 1899 revolvers many which shoot great
shouldn’t one have to have a certain IQ to buy a gun?....I don’t know how all these pathetically stupid people get them
Even if the laws were really tight and somehow the total number of privately owned guns decreased (ie the Gun Grabbers’ wet dream)....criminals would easily be able to buy either home manufactured guns, or guns would be smuggled into the country like booze was during Prohibition and drugs are now, or 3D printed guns would become a lot more common than they are now.
You are not going to be able to keep guns out of the hands of people who want them in order to commit crimes.
Not.
Not gonna happen.
Its a fantasy.
Between you and I, I don’t believe for one second reducing crime is really why the Gun Grabbers want to grab all the guns, I think it has a lot more to do with them wanting to render the people defenseless and them wanting to remove any potential check on government power, but the fear of crime is the excuse they are using for it. Well, that fig leaf doesn’t work. Criminals will always get guns. You can’t stop them.
Why don’t we make drug dealing criminal. I’m sure these nice dealers are just asking.
So, felons who are not able to legally purchase firearms, find addicts or dupes to purchase the firearms on their behalf.
Maybe those felons should not be out on the street.
Don’t restrict firearms, restrict felons in our general population.
It may come as a surprise to many Freepers but Vermont,just about the filthiest Maoist state in the country,has some of the least intrusive gun laws.
How do felons get drugs? How do felons get flat screen TVs? How do felons get diapers?
I seem to remember an article it might have been in Chicago where the police said it wasn’t worth their time to go after baby mammas who provided guns to their boyfreinds. I guess the baby mammas claim they stole it.
I was working a few months ago when a couple came in to the store. She was a citizen and spoke perfect English. He was an illegal alien and spoke no English. They were browsing and looking at guns. He wanted to see one closer so I asked him if he was a citizen or had hi green card. She translated and he said no. I told him that he could not purchase a firearm and he said that he could get one from a fiea market ( which has a LOT of Mexicans/south of the border types. When I told them both that he could not legally possess a firearm and I would not sell her one, they seemed unperturbed and just said that they would get one at the fiea market and left.
“How do felons get guns?”
Mainly through government hare-brained ideas like ‘Operation Fast and Furious’ or ‘Operation Wide Receiver’ prior to that. *Rolleyee*
Very informative list here, of all that’s been ‘legislated’ since 1791 (2nd Amendment ratified!) to try to control gun sales - sometimes lumping felons and Patriotic 2A Americans, together...with a few WINS along the way - usually SCOTUS strike-downs of state laws banning guns.
1791
The Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, gains final ratification.
The Second Amendment reads:
“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
1837
Georgia passes a law banning handguns. The law is ruled unconstitutional by the state’s Supreme Court and is thrown out.
1865
In a reaction to emancipation, several southern states adopt “Black codes” which, among other things, forbid Black persons from possessing firearms.
1871
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is organized around its primary goal of improving American civilians’ marksmanship in preparation for war.
1927
The U.S. Congress passes the Miller Act, a law banning the mailing of concealable weapons.
1934
The National Firearms Act of 1934, regulating the manufacture, sale, and possession of fully automatic firearms like sub-machine guns is approved by Congress.
1938
The Federal Firearms Act of 1938 places the first limitations on selling ordinary firearms. Persons selling guns are required to obtain a Federal Firearms License, at an annual cost of $1, and to maintain records of the name and address of persons to whom firearms are sold. Gun sales to persons convicted of violent felonies were prohibited.
1968
The Gun Control Act of 1968 is enacted for the purpose of “keeping firearms out of the hands of those not legally entitled to possess them because of age, criminal background, or incompetence.”
The act regulates imported guns, expands the gun-dealer licensing and record-keeping requirements, and places specific limitations on the sale of handguns. The list of persons banned from buying guns is expanded to include persons convicted of any non-business related felony, persons found to be mentally incompetent, and users of illegal drugs.

WRONG!!!
Gun control is supposed to inhibit or prevent HONEST CITIZENS keeping and bearing arms. The gun controllers are NOT innocently trying to prevent crime; they are nefariously trying to disarm We the People.
The number one gun “crime” in New Jersey is having one without permission from the almighty state.
What do they fail to understand about “shall not be infringed”?
Were “background checks” used in 1791? Were there “prohibited people” in 1791? If you have to pass a background check before you exercise a right, then you are really having to get the government’s permission to exercise that right. If you have to get the government’s permission then it isn’t a right at all because the whole point of a right is that you don’t need permission to exercise that right. So currently we do NOT have a second amendment right and have not had one ever since background checks were put in place.
shall not be infringed.
no such thing as an illegal gun.
possession is not the crime, how it is used is the crime and make the penalty fit...
if one is out, rights are restored.

Step one: Get let out of jail.
