Criminals by definition do not follow/laws............so I don't expect they will transferring their firearms thru the neighborhood FFL.
So how does this do anything but place an undue burden on law abiding citizens..................inquiring minds want to know
I wish I could remember where I saw it (it may have been on the Gun Owners Caucus website?), but there was a video clip where a Democrat legislator was directly asked about that, and he actually stated something along the lines of "we don't expect the criminals to obey this law."
Of course, my first reaction when I heard that was "Then why, for F###'s sake, are you PROPOSING this law?"
Because not everyone who will be saved by this law is a criminal. It's going to help people who need a little extra help.
Gun violence is a multi-faceted problem, which requires multi-faceted solutions. This law is designed to deal with a part of the problem, so saying it won't do anything at all because of another part of the problem is a bit disingenuous. No kidding it won't. It's not designed to help with that part.
Um WHO is this going to save?
