Report: Federal Agents Try to Show Ease of Illegal Online Gun Purchases, Fail in All 72 Attempts

Not in this case, there is no motivation to lie. No benefit whatsoever.
Your defense is always to attack the studies.

 

There is no benefit to say you bought it from friends.....your friends become suspects

 

And those laws don’t stop two acquaintances from transferring heroin in private.

 

Yes but it reduces it. Imagine if the private sale of heroin was legal.....it would be chaos

 

You’re really reaching. The studies aren’t conducted by law enforcement.

 

Yeah....and the felons just trust you when you say that. LOL

 

Closing the private sale loophole could prevent the criminal who sold the gun from obtaining a gun in the first place.

 

No, the law punishes those that get caught selling and possessing.
It doesn’t PREVENT sales in private between people that know each other.
There is no way for LE to know of transfers in private between friends.
Be stupid and do it on the street is another story.
We know this.

 

Sure it does. It can be used as evidence against the seller. It can serve as grounds for a search warrant that can reveal that seller has other bags of heroin individually packed for sale. Boom....prison

 

Easy to get around and happens all the time now, and with UBCs, will be standard procedure......
Straw purchase and then deface the serial number. Extremely easy.

 

If you come to my house and I hand you any of my possessions including drugs, nobody knows but us.

 

"A 1995 Connecticut law requiring a permit or license – contingent on passing a background check – in order to purchase a handgun was associated with a 40 percent reduction in the state’s firearm-related homicide rate....

"The Connecticut law requires all prospective handgun purchasers to apply for a permit in person with the local police regardless of whether the seller of the handgun is a licensed dealer or private seller."

Wow, a 40% reduction in gun murders. Closing the private sale loophole saves lives.

 

what makes them experts? I was a federal prosecutor for 24 years. those same experts claimed the brady bill would do that as well . 24 years later, we realize the Brady bill hasn't done a damn thing to decrease violent crime.

80% of the public? low wattage sheeple who are ignorant of the facts

NYT-one of the most anti gun publications in the USA

the vast majority of street cops reject this nonsense

 

Unless I get caught with it and tell the police you sold it to me. Time for a search warrant

 

why is this a loophole when it has been the law of the land for 200+ years?

 

what's a search warrant going to turn up? He no longer has the gun and there is no record he had it the day of the sale other than the word of a mope?

 

Wow....that could save a lot of lives

 

a faith based belief with no basis in fact.

 

Not a lot of Baltimores and Chicago’s in Connecticut.
These impoverished areas are responsible for most gun crime.
The felons in these areas won’t be denied getting guns to conduct their business.
Straw purchase, then deface the serial number..... it’s too easy.

This type of law only impacts the lawful that will comply.

 

Is that what happens in Canada and Hawaii?

 

well we know that Hawaii's registration scheme cannot be credited with solving a single crime nor can you establish any crimes that were prevented by it. the canadian scheme only applied to handguns bought after a certain date but handguns are the weapon of choice for crime while UNREGISTERED long guns are not. sounds like your paens of those laws are misplaced.

 

The lawful will never be charged with a crime

 

the lawful will have been harassed and impeded complying with the stupid laws anti gunners want to pass

 

After Missouri stopped requiring all handgun buyers to pass a background check, its gun murder rate soared by 23% and its overall murder rate went up by 16%.
