the hits keep coming gejohnston Apr 2012 #11
In other words, I was right. DanTex Apr 2012 #14
So what new laws would you propose to remedy this? oneshooter Apr 2012 #15
Umm... I would require background checks on private sales. DanTex Apr 2012 #17
Yep. But most would ignore my questions. oneshooter Apr 2012 #19
Umm... I'd accomplish it with a federal law, requiring background checks... DanTex Apr 2012 #21
So you would rather bitch and gripe instead of doing something. oneshooter Apr 2012 #25
Well, we're both posting on an internet forum right now, so... DanTex Apr 2012 #27
Such a federal law... discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2012 #28

That is not possible under current law. ProgressiveProfessor Apr 2012 #22
Right, that's why I want the law to be changed... DanTex Apr 2012 #26
Is it practical to expect that amount of change in the foreseeable future? ProgressiveProfessor Apr 2012 #30
I'm in favor of what's right, not what is currently popular. DanTex Apr 2012 #33
IMHO... discntnt_irny_srcsm Apr 2012 #35
