But at least we know we're "free"....cough..cough...I miss the private seller(s) at the gunshows that were selling off their collections, firearms that no longer appealed to them and/or their odds and ends.
To do that again.....I'd imagine that, the tables would have to be cheaper.
Then.....
I also miss the days when the Govt and FFLs didn't have to be involved in my transactions. WA and OR now have universal background check laws. F*** them, that voted for it.
Really. They must feel really good that they have enacted a transaction/transfer tax on me. Yup....think about it. What is your FFL charging to record and do the background check? In some cases it's $25.
OK....say that I already own 20 firearms. Now I see a gun that I'd like to buy from a private seller. Well, back in the old days I could show the seller my CCW, ID and swap a few stories. The seller was free to determine for themselves if he wanted to sell me his firearm. No extra $25 to the price and no Govt involved (to record the sale).
Humm......I want that single shot .22 LR rifle. But, with that additional $25 transfer fee. F*** That. OK, Ok, ok.......I don't like being taxed at 25%. Yeah....I say it's a tax (even though, I know that technically it's not).
And forget about The US Constitution. The liberals are talking taxes and (they say) minor Govt regulation(s). All in the name of public safety. Really?
Could you imagine being charged a background check fee to preach or attend church or to publish a newspaper or book? Yup.....the Govt needs to protect us from those people that attend those churches that preach their brand of hate and non-acceptance. New Flash Folks....it happens. And, what if? The publishing of Mein Kampf or The Turner Diaries could have been stopped by some Govt regulation/law?
And by the way.....when will a background check fee be required to purchase a knife, hammer, or a pressure cooker?
Humm.......Ok, Ok, ok........enough with the rant. Please go back to what you were doing.
