I do not see how Moe was really saying that so unless there is a big discussion between you to I am missing I think this was a little pre emptive.
Since you don't, as Colton showed, it is a valid observation.
you want restrictions on gun sellers and buyers and anyone already with a gun, because you believe somehow this will improve things in your neighborhood. Lots of people around who think that. So get yourselves a neighborhood of like-minded folks and put up a fence and some signs: "Gun Free Zone". Leave your doors unlocked and your windows open, and sleep the sleep of the Just.
I live in the state with the nation's strictest gun laws. I regularly sleep with windows open and doors unlocked. I sleep pretty darn well.
In St Louis? You must be crazy.
Actually, I live in O'Fallon, IL, right now. Nothing much happens in the boondocks, except police hassling black drivers.
However, it was just as true when I lived at 3003 LaClede, some 35-40 years ago. We did have air conditioning, so the windows were open.
Kidding, calm down!!
It's always funny until it's you.
I know plenty near anarchists who would strongly disagree with limiting private transactions in any way that leaves a paper trail, but the polls show they're in the minority. They certainly haven't reared a single head in this thread.
I'm pretty good at making fun of cops when they pull me over. Just enough to make them question whether I'm being serious or making fun of them.
I'm no anarchist, but do want to point something out that I believe is valid.
Paper transactions just make it easier for some sort of conquering power or 2nd-amendment-infringing government entity to find and retrieve the guns owned by the general population, or at the very least arrest/eliminate those that own guns. That is worrisome.
