Any way you look at it, this is registration. Used guns and new guns sold to individuals by dealers are all on 4473’s and can be traced. Jack.

Jack, I’ve been saying that for years.

Let’s hope this turns out to be one of those overturned cases the 9th is so famous for.

It won’t be overturned. It should be. But this is one of those illegal laws that the state prefers to the real law.
It there was intention to prevent this illegal ruling, there wouldn’t be more than 20,000 illegal gun laws on the books. The Supreme Law of the Land prohibits those laws and the court’s decision. However, when you are an aristocrat you don’t have to give a damn. At least, not until enough people are unhappy enough to truncate your rule.
This is not about tracing a gun’s travel to a crime. What the Hell difference does it make how it got there? This is about discouraging those who don’t commit crime from exercising their right. If the gun was the important thing at a crime scene, why do they put the criminal in jail. Shouldn’t they jail the gun and let the guy go?
It ain’t about the gun. It ain’t about crime. It’s about intimidation of the law abiding.
