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
There is no registration for long arms. there is no regulation on the private sale of long guns between individuals.
i lied to no one. the govt doesnt know i own these guns. they dont have a law that says they have to know. this is no loophole, this is no sidestep. this is simply how guns are bought and sold through private citizens.
im not hurting any cause by doing this. the govt simply has no clue who owns what gun unless its a sidearm. then there are regulations and requirements for purchase.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT TRACK OWNERSHIP OF LONG GUNS, aside from ones that require specific permits such as full auto weapons.
