[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know how many times these gun shops been broken into and guns stolen. They need to close them all down.[/quote]

So where do I - a non criminal - buy my guns after you’ve shut down the shops because your police won’t control criminals?

I mean, as long as we’re eliminating each other’s rights, can we also close polling places because I don’t like the outcome of local elections? You’re cool with that in exchange for closing gun stores, right? Tit for tat, and all….[/quote]

How many guns does a non-criminal like you need?[/quote]

I [i]collect[/i] guns. Just like some people collect stamps or beanie babies or pointless Masters degrees. I enjoy it.

The guns I choose to collect are already expensive, and get more expensive each year, so it’s also a stable asset that continually appreciates.

But in order to purchase them, they MUST be purchased through an FFL. But you want to shut down FFL’s.

[b]So where does that leave me?[/b] [/quote]

Buying from gun stores that don't violate the law by selling to straw purchasers?

Everyone gets to have a hobby, of course, but people who collect stamps/beanie babies/pointless Masters degrees don't have to worry about other people using stamps/beanie babies/pointless Masters degrees to kill people.[/quote]

If you have politicians who seem to be making it a personal crusade to find reasons to shut down gun shops [b]*who are following the law*[/b] (as these shops absolutely are), then there won’t be any left to purchase a gun at.

That’s acting in bad faith.

These shops were NOT in violation of the law - let’s be 100% clear on that. That’s why this is a civil suit and not a criminal charge. The AG knows it doesn’t have a leg to stand on with regards to the shops not complying with federal and state laws. So this is a civil suit, where the burden of proof is far lower and more subjective.

The straw purchaser is the one who broke all applicable laws here. Not the shops. The shops complied with every applicable federal and state law. Background checks, record keeping, waiting periods, all of it. They are not the criminal here. The straw purchaser is.

I realize you clearly have an intense dislike for guns, the people that own them, and the places that sell them. And that is clouding your logic and reasoning ability here.

But I’m sure you’re just the sort of juror Tony is looking for. [/quote]

I mean, apparently they're not, though. Or, if they are, the courts can decide that.

All I said about guns is that some people use guns to kill people, which is a factual statement. (There's a special report on the news right now about a shooting at a high school in Georgia.) I don't know how you got from "some people use guns to kill people" to "intense dislike for guns, the people that own them, and the places that sell them." Lots of people collect lots of things. What you collect is guns.[/quote]
