Good news Seran.. just when I thought there is no way you could get dumber... you managed it!
Behold the newest addition to the Retard Hall of Fame!
RIP - Tsa'ah and his claim that Camp Lejeune used to be named Fort Lejeune and he has his birth certificate as evidence. That was an epic moment on the PC.. but we need to respect the depths of retardation that Seran brings to the table.
How about this…to prevent the possible spread of misinformation and hate speech, before you post anything online you must register with the federal government. It’s your responsibility to pay the speech registration tax. Also by registering you are inviting the feds to come into your home for an inspection anytime they feel like it. If it prevents just one of Seran’s retarded post it’s totally worth it. Am I right?Quote:

How does me checking the person I’m selling to, stop me from my right to own a gun, or how does me checking someone stop their right to legally own a gun? The second amendment says nothing about selling. I own a few guns, and I have no issue doing these things to sell my guns, to make sure the person I sell to has the right to purchase it.Quote:

I don’t think you understand what registering and being a FFL entails. There is nothing simple about it. First you go through a lengthy paperwork and BS process (https://www.atf.gov/firearms/apply-license). There are application and annual renewal fees. The ATF commonly performs inspections without announcement. It’s your responsibility that the person you are selling to folks out the 4473 completely & without errors. You are required to hold those forms for a period of 20 years.Quote:

If you were required to any of these things for any other constitutionally protected right, I suspect you would lose your shit. Because it is guns and you feel that it does not effect YOU directly, you are perfectly ok with the infringement.
But here’s the thing, it doesn’t infringe anyone at all, it makes the process longer, but it doesn’t stop you from owning a gun, does it?Quote:

How does this law infringe or stop you from your legal right to own a gun? While I agree the process is painful and stupid, but it in no way stops you from owning a gun.
The only thing that stops you, is yourself not wanting to fill out these forms to buy from private citizens, when you can just go to a gun shop and buy it that way.
The real insanity of all this, do you think criminals buying or selling firearms are going to suddenly cease doing so? “Well there is a new ATF rule so I better register as a FFL to sell my stolen Glock with a full auto switch.” This is about control and registration of legal gun owners. Don’t kid yourself this is for the greater good of preventing crime or mass shootings.

If I require you to register and pay a tax to exercise free speech, assembly, religion, press, etc. is that ok? It’s just making the process longer, harder, and more costly. Nobody is saying you can’t speak freely. The only thing stopping you from doing all that is you.Quote:
