i would call lying to the government about where you got your guns "sidestepping"
the government put many laws and regulations in place to help keep track of guns
while there are still many ways to legally obtain a gun without paperwork or with some type of loophole you know thats not what the government wants and it defeats the purpose of all the regulations to begin with

i know you understand this, and i know that its a pita to deal with all the beurocratic bs that they make you fill out or the lists you could be put on for owning guns, but its part of the system that also is designed for our safety, and you not following it only adds to the issues of gun control and hurts your own cause

after reading the gas price thread i think its fair to say that the way i feel about guns is similar in some ways to how you feel about suvs
only some people actually need them and the rest of the population just misuses them and hurts the people around them
