Although the things you mention can happen, people trying to take advantage of the program, that wouldn't describe every transaction. Some, perhaps most, would accomplish exactly what they propose to: take guns off the streets. The trick would be to weigh that good against the bad you describe and Uncle pointed out in his post. I say it should be worth it, especially because a number of the things you guys mention could be avoided with a little effort and no additional cost. Thanks for the link in the post, Uncle.

I can't see anything that would preclude me buying four Mosins at ~$75 apiece and selling them to the good citizens of that county at $200 each. I wonder if they have any idea how silly they look. They probably feel very good about themselves, though. Anyway, am I wrong? I just read that on the DA’s page.

Anyway, am I wrong?

A; it's none of the government's business and B; it's counter to everything this country stands (or maybe I should say "stood") for.
