I think that is exactly the logical and literal meaning: in [38] states where background checks are not required for private sales, you can legally buy without a background check.
For the last couple of posters, no, I am not an anti. I predicted, and almost wrote in advance, that some of you would interpret my last post this way. By saying that a truly gun-less world is not feasible but is the only way to achieve an end to gun crimes/gun deaths, is not the same as...
On question #3, I don't think that, at least not literally. Stopping gun deaths entirely would essentially require a total absence of guns, which isn't feasible in my opinion.
Regarding heroin, I am really not familiar with that, but I would suspect that if it were legal, cheaper and easier to...
Thanks for the comments, Uncle Duke. I suspect that we are on the same page.

Also respectfully, I guess it matters to me. I think no fewer than four people have commented on this thread stating or implying that gun control leaders want to strip gun rights in order...

Didn't forget--it wasn't required to answer clandestinell's comment. :-)
Regarding enforcing current laws, It would help some but doesn't go far enough in their minds. To boil it down, you really need no guns so that bad actors, the suicidal, the mentally unstable, home grown terrorists etc...
Funny, guys. First, I did rather well in all my classes, thanks for asking. [emoji3] I am serious that I think most US anti-gun people today are not motivated by trying to control others but by simple reduction of violence aspirations. And by the way, I think recent anti gun mayors in NYC...
I don't share the opinions here that the reason is control-related. I think they simply want to reduce gun-related deaths. No guns=no gun deaths=less deaths overall (fewer successful suicides, less accidental deaths, perhaps reduced lethality of criminal violence that will still occur, less...
Agreed. I am in Kansas and I follow MDShooters and Illinois Carry because they are both very active with very high quality content and people. (The OP might find some Kentucky-knowledgable people on Illinois Carry.) MDShooters has excellent legal commentary. Illinois Carry does too, and it...
