There are three types of laws that should never be passed. The first type is a law that you cannot possibly enforce. For example, requiring a background check for every transfer of a firearm when you define transfer to include loaning a firearm to someone while at the range. The second type is a law that is so unpopular that it will not be obeyed. A great example of this was the national 55 mph speed limit. It really did not help much because most people slowed down somewhat but not to the limit. The problem with these two types of laws is that all they end up doing is breeding disrespect for the law in general. It is not hard for people's minds to go from saying that a law makes no sense and ignoring it to saying most laws make no sense. A lack of enforcement helps people think they can ignore laws because you won't enforce them anyway. Unfortunately, I think 99% of our legislators from all political parties have forgotten or stopped caring about the results of these two types of laws being passed.KLB wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 9:15 pm Background check for any sale or TRANSFER.
How will they define "transfer." The Dems will want to define it as broadly as possible. If I'm target shooting with a friend and he asks to shoot a few rounds through my .45, will that require a background check?
I have a Savage .22magnum/410 shotgun over-and-under I was given at about 12 years of age. If I pass it down to my grandson when be turns 12, will that require a background check? Will it be permitted at all?
The third type of law that should never be passed is the one that will actually spark the revolution that is brewing. Unfortunately, there is a large group (though a minority) that do not believe this category of law exists. They think we will all continue to obey all laws and submit to the government. A very small minority doesn't care because they "know" they will win the war. And an even smaller portion is trying to figure out exactly how to pass a law that will start this war because they honestly want to tear this country apart. While I am concerned about all three of these types, I truly do not understand the last group. I know they are there, I just have no understanding why they would feel this way.
