42. I've seen as many guns trade hands

in the parking lot of gun shows as inside. Then there are the ones sold in classified ads and yard sales. I'm for ALL handguns sales requiring background checks. Ones sold without a check should be a felony. No it won't stop every one, just lots of them.

With the latest shootings and all the bull crap I hear everyday from assholes about an armed revolution against Obama, I'm now in favor of the same for any semi-auto rifle too.

Laws against kiddy porn have driven it underground, way underground. I'm sure that along with enforcement have made it much less prevalent. Would be the same for certain firearms.

Let's pass these types of laws ASAP MightyMopar Jan 2013 #1
