Background Checks Act 2021 goes to Senate

Nearly all of these sellers were pushing guns to people who can not buy guns through legal channels.

If you or the ATF had any proof that it would have been shut down years ago. You just called half the people on this forum criminals. What you really wanted to say is, as a legitimate dealer (as am I) these people selling out of their trunks were cutting into my profit and what I could charge for my firearms.
Your post blows my mind! Does it happen as you said YES! Does it happen the way you said absolutely not. Criminals are not going to gun shows to buy firearms.
It's not hard to prove, the BATF knows about it but they can't do anything about it. Show up at your local flea market and see for yourself. You can buy anything you want if you have the cash, no questions asked.
 
Just wait till they bring in 28 day cooling off period for your first application . Then licencing drag there feet and then could be up to 3 months before you go pick up your rifle or shotgun that's sitting there waiting for you. Safe inspections and other limiting factors

So?

That's called have a 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear which shall not be infringed...

So, you are saying the STATE approved you to deal but no one else is approved except the other people vetted and taxed by the STATE?

You made all my points for me.... compliant.
 
We have already seen many times when the "Instant" background check system is jammed up, running slow, overloaded, -- enter excuse here_________.

Just wait until it NEVER works well.... kind of like obtaining a New York concealed carry permit.

I think we are seeing the sunset of our selling and swapping days where you and I can sell guns to each other, facilitated by our internet relationship, shipping and receiving, and easy background checks by abundant FFL businesses.

Hell, I wouldn't bet 2 cents against the possibility that sites like this one will soon be simply "canceled". :(

The sad irony is that we now have a government which can't or won't control thousands of illegal aliens from swarming into the country - perhaps carrying back packs full of cocain, meth, plutonium, machine guns, or some ungodly disease. BUT--- they will go to any length to control or deny the rights of law abiding citizens to enjoy their constitutional rights.

I'm not feeling real compliant to their wishes. jd
 
Again ; with all the wailing , and gnashing of teeth . And whining . The sky is falling , the sky is falling !
"The only thing that allows evil to perpetuate is for good men to do nothing " ! I got up this morning and had my coffee , and cigarette . Then did two very important things .
#1. Called my senior Sen. Krysten Synema's local , and D.C. office to express my views on this trash Bill .
#2. Called my junior Sen. Mark Kelly's local and D.C. office to express my views on this Bill .
All four calls took a total of approx. 30 minutes ! I know BOTH of these people are Chuck U Schumer's Lap-dog puppets , but I made the calls anyway . Why , you ask , did I waste my time ? Answer : So I could look at myself in the mirror tomorrow .
Every time these issues come up , it's the same old story with you guys . Tired of the whining and bitching and complaining . But I haven't heard a single one of you say they have actually done a damn thing to get involved . Then there's the ; "I never hear from them" crowd , and the "They hang up on you , crowd" , and on and on . Excuses are a dime a dozen , and I've heard way to many in this thread . Make yourself a PITA , and continue doing so . Even if they vote against us , they'll know that WE will be a vote against THEM , in the next election .
And to @rayporter ; You only need to check history to know that the first step to confiscation is registration . Ask the Germans , Italians , Russians , Poles , Cambodians , Laotians , and most lately , the Venezuelans . They'll tell you all about registration . Gun registration only makes it easier for a over-reaching , over-bearing Govt. to confiscate your guns when they chose to do so .
 
there is only one way to stop the guys selling out of the trunk of their car and that is total registration. and a paper trail of every gun and gun owner. no other way.

if you go hunting or target shooting and an official asks for your papers.........

yes you can stay at home and not comply. but you wont be able to do anything or go anywhere with your gun.

that’s not true...unless you got snitches at your range or you can’t go shoot out in the woods...then how would anyone ever know?

you dont believe every game warden in the country will be checking?

and you dont believe they will have a nice policeman stop by the range to check?

perhaps even create a special and official office for checking? might even have bounty to pay the snitches.

let me sell you some ocean front property in Arizona.

Could not have said it any better than this!!!!!!
Thanks
Now how many of us will listen?
I know I already do this, I have stated it before.
Now how many of you people will take the time to do?
Remember this is a political thread and I'm not sure why its still here!

Well I guess I will be on the look out at the Milroy flea market for all the MS-13 members buying up single barrel shotguns and H&R 22 pistols. Funny thou, I see their pictures, the few I see, with full auto AK's, S&W pistols, Glocks and HK. I don't remember seeing that stuff at my local flea mkt.
I'm not saying some of this doesn't happen but if it was happening like you say it is. There are other ways to stop it. Simply run the buyers name and see if he is a "criminal". Any cop can do this if he suspects something. If the ATF thought it was a real issue they would figure a way around the laws just like they do for everything else.

I recently moved to Idaho from Oregon. Part
of the reason was Idaho is a 2A Sanctuary state. Here is the law:

I didn’t say any of that. They can do all that and how would they ever find out? Got some buddies with farm land? Got a private range? They can’t even stop gangsters with illegal guns. You mean to tell me they are going to put an already strapped police force and federal agency on every American who owns a “bad gun?” Our justice system can’t even give everyone a fair trial so they stiffen the penalties to scare you into a plea bargain so they don’t have to do their job. How could they possibly find every gun owner, build a case, and take them to trial?

if you still believe your point...let me sell you some ocean front property in Montana.

I love all the democrats that insist they are dissenters. That is until it's time to vote, and then just like their politicians, they all fall into line totally with the DNC. Take a look at all the voting records every time they claimed they "couldn't support this in good conscience".
 
we are already being ruled by the gov, they are no longer representing us. They are ruling us, time to wake up. The first rule of communism is disarming the citizens. Just look at history in other countries where it has happened.
I notice no one has responded to my previous post. "why do you think they want to disarm the citizens ?"
Why did they build the wall around the capitol ?
Do you really believe the 2022 election will be an honest legitimate election ?
I do call my senators and congressmen weekly even though it gets the same BS answers every time.
 
I'm pretty sure that we are all pretty pissed about the lack of enforcement that is shown with any number of actual crimes that are constantly being committed in the country. However we are totally out of the zone of reality these days, and when these evil bastards get a bee in their bonnet about your guns -- expect the worst.

We're already to the place where if you call a complaint about your neighbor and his kid shooting heroin on the front porch, the cops as likely to come and arrest you for possessing a 10-22 with a fifty round mag.
