Gotcha, sarcasm doesn't always translate well here, and there are people that actually do have that train of thought.

People who own firearms here don't want to lose money, lol.

Like my co-worker just bought a Christensen 6.5 Creedmore rifle for $2300 before taxes. A buyback here wouldn't be a tenth of what he paid.

We HAVE had the NG knocking on doors, and even shooting and killing civilian college kids.

That's fair, they are definitely expensive.

My dad was law enforcement so I grew up shooting all types of guns, and I'm not against the reasons that most people want them. I've just read data on where crime guns originate, and they are often traced back to legal dealers which makes me think something should be changed.

I know a few years back, one of our local gun stores was robbed after hours. Stole over 50 firearms. Didn't go through the doors or windows though. They brought a cutting torch and cut a hole in the side of the metal wall, lol.

Criminals just aren't going to kowtow to society and rules, no matter how many laws are created, it's frustrating for sure.

While I'm sure, a few have been illegally sold over the years, I don't think most that are registered to dealers are dirty sales, I think most are stolen.
