Reply #53: I have a CHP which means I passed a stricter back ground check

than just to buy a gun. It's pretty well established that criminals don't look through the classifieds and buy guns that way they either steal them or buy stolen ones, or get someone who can pass a check (every thing I just listed is criminal BTW) to buy for them.

You are never ever going to pass a law requiring background checks on private sales because it won't work w/ out registration (otherwise known as the third rail)

In Colorado you must fill out a 4473 for any gun purchased at a gun show. It isn't a huge inconvenience and if you have cash in hand you can usually get the seller to eat the fee.

The problem is that it's unneccessary because very few(less than 2% ) of guns used in crime come from gun shows.

So what happens is a law is passed, it has zero effect on crime and 5 years later the anti gun forces of evil ( people specifically like you) scream for just one more restrictive law that only effects the law abiding.

As the One eyed fat man has stated, if you think guns are hard to come by off the grid ask your dopeman to get you one
