They said they got their weapons from Gun Shows. I know GUN SHOWS are not a big problem, but what is the difference between me selling a gun from my house to a stranger who "Looks Legal" to me, and driving downtown and selling out of my trunk to people who look "Legal"?
As for cheap weapons? Oh man what gun shows are you going to, I could have picked up Rossi 38s for 100 bucks, or Kal Tec 9mms for 250/ Not to mention the great deal one private seller had on some glocks.
I'm just saying private sales should go through the same background check as sales from Academy, Bass Pro, Cabellas, or your local dealer. You can still sell privately, you just have to have the other person go through a background check. What is the big deal?
you can save the NRA propaganda, I'm a life member, I've heard it all before, and understand the point you are saying. Its just irrelevant with what I am talking about.
Maybe those who help to get guns to citizens should be thought of as freedom fighters. The laws in New York that are prevent folks from owning and bearing arms is not only unconstitutional but immoral. We may be a better nation if just had a few more gun runners and a few less ATF thugs trying to make it more difficult for New Yorkers or other Americans to arm and defend themselves.
