I was thinking similar as well!

The only horrible miscarriage of justice is that those two thugs ever became cops to begin with!

Phenomenal story telling!

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.

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.

Don't see how, seeing he's never committed a crime in his life aside from speeding, and had never shot someone outside of military duty when he did 3 tours in Afghanistan, but do go on with that assumption.

It's not illegal though.

I buy some of mine online, since the local stores don't carry 9.3x62, lol. I've found black powder is cheaper online as well.

Buybacks are a JOKE, and a money maker for people with broken, unusable firearms, people with any machining skills, or people with a 3D printer.

Average buy back is $150-250 each gun. A buddy of mine in Arizona 3D-printed 25 pistols, and sold them all for $200 each this year. It cost him less than $200 to print them all, he made a $4,800 profit and bought 3 more rifles with the money, lol. 🤣

In March of 2020, the Federal Gov processed over FOUR Million background checks for firearm purchases. That's just one month, and I know my purchase that month took 8 days to clear due to my common name, as well a military history.

Imagine the clusterfuck if they had to process 40 million checks monthly for all firearm and ammo purchases. It would crash the system. Completely unfeasible and as the laws read currently, illegal; since only firearm ownership is regulated, not ammunition.

As far as I know, there aren't restrictions on ammo purchases. I've never once been asked to show any ID, or have a background check on ammo purchases.

As a side note, there are also no restrictions on reloading supplies or machines. Literally anyone can purchase the materials and presses to make their own ammo.

I bought a press for my Dad for his birthday when I was 16. Walked in, paid, walked out. No big deal.
