How about just repealing the second amendment? I don't like the right to bear arms. I like my human arms just fine!

nobody is doing that. just some reasonable regulations that any reasonable country has.
the problem of this shop's owner is that he is no longer allowed to sell guns like they were loaves of bread and is now required to sell them like they were guns.

Originally posted by sonhouseI sincerely hope you never need to use a gun, but I also hope that if you do, that you at least have the right to have one.

Does the part where more people are hurt or killed by accidents with their own guns than through actual gun related violence mean anything to you?
Originally posted by FishHead111Does the dealer in Cali get a fee for this service? In Michigan they tack $25 onto the sale, which they get to keep, just for the paper work. Seems like a violation of my private property right, that I have to pay to have someone else sell it.
