This thought is wrong. you cannot buy a handgun from out of state. What you CAN do, is say you found a good deal on a gun in virginia, but live in new mexico. What HAS to happen is that the seller ships the gun to a federally licensed dealer in new mexico, who then performs the NICS background check before you can pick up the gun.

that's a short version (believe it or not) os why i think your position problematic.

that said, though, thanks for taking the time to post an overview.
i'd be interested to see what you make of the response.
I started to try to read your post, but then got lost, as usual, because it makes no sense to me. I see a roller coaster logic to your debate that I can't keep up with. You call this jibberish, at least with dunedans basic layout, so I'll call yours jibberish.

You've edited the post since I started to respond and I see that you removed the 'redistribution of wealth' part. May I ask why?
