Gun Monkey Follies

 

Gun Shows and Firearm Trafficking​

In many other states, these events are relatively unregulated and may feature both licensed dealers, who are required to conduct background checks to sell firearms under federal law, as well as many unlicensed sellers offering firearms, ammunition, and related products without background checks, sale records, or other safety requirements. As a result, without appropriate precautions and oversight, these events may become a magnet for prohibited purchasers and firearms traffickers in particular.

Under California law, unlike in many other states, sales and transfers of firearms and sales of ammunition must generally be conducted by or processed through licensed firearms dealers or ammunition vendors, whether or not those sales or transfers are conducted at a gun show . These licensees are responsible for conducting background checks and ensuring compliance with other requirements, such as California's firearm waiting period and Firearm Safety Certificate requirements. California has also adopted some of the nation's most comprehensive laws specifically governing gun show events, producers, dealers, and vendors.
 
🙄 For you education:

Yes, the Colt AR-15 was explicitly named on the list of banned semi-automatic firearms in the Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) of 1994. [1, 2]
The 1994 legislation restricted the sale and manufacture of certain firearms in three specific ways:

• By Specific Name: The law banned 19 specific firearm models and their copies or duplicates, including the Colt AR-15, AK-47, and Uzi.
• By Generic Features: It applied a "two-feature test," banning rifles that could accept a detachable magazine and had at least two military-style features (e.g., a folding stock, pistol grip, or bayonet mount).
• By Magazine Capacity: It also prohibited the manufacture of large-capacity magazines (holding more than 10 rounds). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The federal law expired in September 2004, though several states continue to have their own bans on AR-15 style rifles and large-capacity magazines. To understand the specifics of what was outlawed, you can read the historical discussions on What was banned in the 1994 “assault” weapons ban? - Reddit or review A Brief History Of The AR-15 - NPR for background on its civilian design.

You just confirmed what I told you. Manufacturers just had to modify them and the millions of 30 round magazines were all grandfathered.
 
:oops::palm: You quoted a title, excerpt a sentence and attach your usual BS.

Had you any comprehensive reading skills, you would have read this in the first paragraph:
ATF reveals that traced crime gun - guns used later in crimes - that originated from gin shows increased by 19% from 2017 to 2021.

The title of the second paragraph is CRIME GUNS BOUGHT AT SHOWS ARE ON THE RISE.

Think, gun monkey, THINK! The guns are initially bought legitimate, then taken to a gun show and sold to any yahoo with cash without background checks. That's one way how they wind up in criminal hands.

You got that, you simple :orang:?
What is a gin show, and how do I get there?
 
Yes, I do. That's why I understand that making it too difficult or too expensive (black market) for criminals to obtain high quality weapons is imperative to lowering gun crime rate. Gun monkeys just refuse to accept reality .... like how the AR-15 style rifles became the weapon of choice for numerous mass shooters ever since the GOP let the 1994 AWB law sunset in 2004.

That is why the OP and it's questions stand.
y'all had the same method and process for drugs..............how did that work out?
 
You proved nothing. Gun laws apply to gun shows no differently than anywhere else. Why don't you link to the source of your idiotic copy and paste job? We know why.
Posts 148 and 149.

Bottom line: you can deny them all you want. But FACTS will always make you a :orang:
 
:palm::rolleyes: Okay, let's take this from the top:

1. Person A is NOT a criminal .... no DUI or DWI arrests, no illegal drug use/selling/possession arrests, no public or domestic disturbances, pays their bills on time, pays taxes. Not so much as even a parking ticket.

2. Person B is a criminal with a rap sheet .... did time, finished their parole.

3. Person B cannot by law own a gun .... BUT their friend, Person A can. They both live in a state where the gun laws are considered very lax as compared to other states. In state #2, it is a high standard for a citizen with no criminal record to obtain a gun license.

4. Person A buys one or more guns, legal by state law. Since there is no requirement for a private sale of said gun(s), Person A can sell to Person B to be registered, so the gun can change multiple hands before getting to Person B.

5. Person B travels to relocates to another state, smuggling the guns (which can be smuggled also by Person A for the transaction). In state #2, he (and possibly an accomplice) commit crimes with guns they could not get in that state even if they didn't have criminal records.

6. Look up the phrase "iron pipeline" and how it relates to various states and gun crimes.

Got that?

Like I said, they are not a criminal until they buy a gun for someone who is forbidden from doing it themselves. Then they have committed a felony.

No kidding? I never said different, I just pointed out the process. Also, you may want to consider that same criminals with records can go to gun shows in a lot of states and buy guns cash on the table without a background check waiting period. When all is said and done, the "Iron Pipeline" exists .... and would be crippled if guns were treated like cars regarding registrations and ownership transfers. Just saying.
