What really is the point of an HQL?

[sgt23preston]

So, I just went and did another inheritance transfer of a handgun. Second one this year. This time I had an HQL, even though it's not required, but still had to fill out all the paperwork. Basically giving them all the same information that I had to give them to obtain an HQL other than the specific information about the gun. Seems like you should be able to just give them your HQL and model number/serial number of the gun, let them verify the gun and be done with it. So I guess any transaction you do involving a regulated firearm requires you do the same thing you did before the HQL requirement, so whats the point??? An extra $50 for the state? That's it? What am I missing?

The ONLY point of an HQL is too make it much more difficult for people to buy guns, there by discouraging gun ownership...

There is NO other point...

For a poor man or woman without the need of expensive tools and equipment, to be able to make our own pistols and rifles at home is a GIFT FROM GOD.

Here's my very first shots from the first .45 I ever built.

You do realize that you JUST OUTED YOURSELF, don't you?

I'm proud of myself that I can build my own working guns and I don't care if the whole world knows it.
