Beating your wife and brought to jail, DUI and being brought to jail, any drug that you have been caught with and going to jail, do I need to go on?

You mean follow the current laws? See, you have no clue what you are talking about.

Um... WRONG.

Feinstein wants to force you (well, not you, because I'm sure you would never own an Evil Black Rifle) to register your EXISTING sporting rifles, and she would have them treated the same as we treat machine guns, which they are not.

Don't believe me? Read the bill yourself.

It's so hard to remove a serial number Not that a criminal would even sweat that but people have been removing numbers and chucking them off bridges for about 70 years now.

Besides a FFL, show me where anyone buys 10 guns at a time?

Your limited knowledge or listening to the MSM is failing you....

False.

In actuality, most (roughly 60%) of the firearms used in the commission of crimes are traceable to federally licensed sellers who disregard federal law in their transactions.

So then what? Should we ban unregulated private sales and federally licensed sellers just to be safe, even if only 1.2% of such sellers actually engage in such corrupt practice?

Accounting for the remaining portion are straw purchasers and, to a much lesser extent, gun shows (yet WE MUST CLOSE THE LOOPHOLE [ban private sales] NOW!!!).

Thus, it's actually quite cretinous that you would blame the average, law-abiding gun owner for gun crime at-large, but this is likely because you fail to realize that being a law-abiding gun owner would entail not
purchasing guns for people legally prohibited from owning them.

This, however, will not matter to ideologues...

This "guilty until proven innocent" approach you take toward law abiding citizens that simply want to buy a gun is quite disturbing.

And yes, you should explain why you are buying a billion guns.
Then what gun laws are you talking about? WOW.......you have lost the conversation, and now trying to cover your ass.....
