Mission accomplished. That's just one of many easy ways to get a gun. How many do you want?

So you are suggesting a straw purchase? What is the punishment for that now? I can't remember... 10 years and $25,000?

I can read perfectly fine. I comprehend well too. I just don't twist words to my liking.

Steve does it every day in Current Events, better keep an eye on him.

I know he does NK. He just likes to argue.

Wow, I'm not even in on the discussion and you're hating on me? What a pathetic jerk.

Why don't you give it a try at a few places and let us know what happens... Unless of course you aren't so sure of your interpretation.

Hello again, smoothy:

This is a PERFECT example of your INABILITY to READ... I didn't lay out an interpretation. I asked a question.

Go argue with somebody on the plants page. Maybe you can fool them.

I'm guessing you aren't very sure of your position. Or you would give it a try.

Hello again, smoothy:

I'm guessing you aren't very sure of your position.

So, you couldn't even understand the post above yours? Let me say again, and for the last time, I don't HAVE a position. I HAD a question.

But, I'm tired of arguing with the wall. I'm DONE!

I have suggested nothing, I am telling you this goes on all over the country. Its reality. Another reality is people go to the pawn shop all the time, to trade guns for money, or to get a gun for money. Trade shows too.

Now you can ignore the fact there are ways to get what you want in this country by hook or crook, but that doesn't change the fact its happening. 2 million felons in jail that get out in sprinkles and you think they are rehabbed and ready to obey the law? Come on, a guys got to eat and defend himself in the real world.

And you worry about a guy being caught lying on an application. I know what the law says and it only applies to law abiding citizens. An excon who wants a gun has other options beside your way and we know them and crazy people get what they want and by the time the law catches up to them, they have already done what they wanted to do.

To answer your question ex, hell yeah they will put you in jail for trying to buy a gun, when they catch you.

talaniman · Oct 11, 2013, 07:58 AM

No law stops people from doing stuff, just punishes you after you have done bad stuff.

Still ranting?. if you are that certain that I and the others are worng... go make applications in several gun stores...

I showed three examples of felons that actually WERE arrested just for attempting to buy a gun... in different states.

NeedKarma · Oct 11, 2013, 09:13 AM

I showed three examples of felons that actually WERE arrested just for attempting to buy a gun.

Yea but not for simply filling an application:

... tried to persuade numerous federally licensed firearms dealers to sell him a gun privately and without a background check

tried to buy a gun from two different firearms dealers but denied his felony record on one of the applications... faces a felony charge of providing false information to purchase a weapon or firearm.
