Gun Control & RKBA

(32,954 posts)23. I don't know.
I legally purchased a handgun at a garage sale with no questions asked. If the seller faced a large fine and jail time, they might have sought a way to get a background check. One can also purchase a firearm from a classified add in the paper here with no questions asked. It would put an end to those sales.
I don't see any illegal drugs sold in garage sales or in newspaper classified adds.

OP
Have you ever purchased a firearm? You must pass a background check when purchasing one

Fine NRA analogy, except the gun nuts are closer to wolves than sheep, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, they could've just as easily used something else, like lawn furniture, maybe

So your view on gun control runs counter to President Obama's, VP Biden's, and ex-Pres Clinton's
