Creating a gun collection shouldn't bestow any extra rights to anyone.
Because putting limitations on collectors' rights is unreasonable. Non-collectors don't have a legitimate reason to buy massive amounts of arms at one time, so limits on them would be reasonable.

Since 1934 most of those people who resisted registration are dead. When you buy a handgun now, registration comes with it.

I wish we would relax gun control to a certain extent. Registration of handguns isn't the problem, it hasn't affected freedom whatsoever. Its the other things like you can only shoot handguns at ranges, you must join a range, you cannot concealed carry, storage regulations are strict, etc. which are the problem.

Focusing the attention on the handgun regristration which barely anyone has a problem with is a complete waste of time.

Yes I do. And I am answering you anyway. This is not something to make light of.

The reason that they have what you call more rights, but what is really more leniency, is because there intention is to collect. Thats a lot less sketchy than saying youre using it for defense, or just for the hell of it, as those sound like the things that the school shooters would say.

School shooters wouldn't have to explain themselves to anyone they buy there guns illegaly. Giving people more rights than each other based on their intention is wrong were all supposed to be created equals and given equal freedoms.

All we are trying to say is if some random punk with no criminal record, and who clearly looks like a gang member, walks into a store and buys 30 glocks, are you just going to assume they are all for personal use?

Maybe he goes into 10 different stores and buys 5 glocks from each one. What the heck for?

Obviously intent matters, especially if his intent is to hand a gun off to some kid who is going to massacre 20 university students the next day. Thats just great, so you still think theres absolutely no problem with someone buying massive amounts of guns for this purpose?

Clearly a simple one handgun a month policy will affect under 1% of purchases, and those are the purchases which most likely have a malicious intent behind them.

The typical gang member that is old enough to purchase a pistol has no clean record. He has been in a gang for the better part of his life and has a long record already.

Maybe the reason the good old U S of A is the badassest country in the world is that we have so many Rambos.(Next movie: Rambo vs. Crocodile Dundee. "Yo, that's not a gun. Now THAT'S a gun!")

I really hate to be in agreement with an anti-gun policy, but the truth is, I only have 2 hands to put handguns in (and I can't fire two guns at once worth a crap). I would nonetheless say that two a month would be more reasonable.
