It’s more an issue of having the government getting invovled in a private sale.
Again, the rules were murky. So far, they still are, as I haven’t seen an outline on what constitutes a business and what is just a private person selling something. How many guns can I sell in a year/month, etc? What if your dad dies and you want to sell off his 20 gun collection. Do you need an FFL for that?
And again, we had more people getting FFLs for convenience back in the day, and the ATF actually frowned on it for some reason. Lots of collectors STILL get a C&R (curious and relics) FFL, which allows them to buy certain older guns on lists with out further NICS checks and can have them shipped to their house.
Honestly though, this will do probably nothing to stop gun violence.
Except that the safety caps can become a major problem when you get disabled. I encountered this when I got my shoulder busted; getting into the painkiller bottle became quite a pain.
My stash of unofficially obtained opioids I have for cases of more serious pain (and the tooth abscess I got later proved that I was right to stock up) has no such crap.
The latter is, quite. But I won’t give it up just because it is “dangerous”.
Actually, why not? Pain is a bitch and I am not willing to endure any just because some bureaucrat said so.
One of the reasons why I am trying to figure out how to build 3d-printable microreactors, and the matching ecosystem of spectrometers.
Dangerous objects stored safely from unintended users.
Not stupid built in obstructions that don’t actually prevent unintended users from gaining access (most children can open child resistant packages).
wikipedia steal: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has stated in a press release that “There is no such thing as child-proof packaging. So you shouldn’t think of packaging as your primary line of defense. Rather, you should think of packaging, even child-resistant packaging, as your last line of defense.”
Obama is full of good persuasive speech, not good policy, reason, or science.
It’s a good point but not relevant to the problem that needs to be addressed. Please stick to rights as outlined in the 2nd amendment, nobody wants to pit putting a gun in a glass case against dead kids. Don’t make this argument.
I only say this because someone might want to take some steps that will actually save some lives, instead of just expending a lot of emotion and effort on actions that don’t really help, and only serve to alienate people who were never part of the problem to begin with.
