We're already closing in to 300 million firearms owned by individuals here in the US if we haven't already passed that.Given this fact,how are technological improvements and affordability relevant to further gun control? Do you think that the American of the future would own 50 guns,or what? Just because phones are getting more and more technologically improved and affordable doesn't mean an individual will have more phones,it just means that more people will have one. Which is nothing but a good thing,both in the case of phones and guns. Unless you can prove the United States is a country of criminals and nutjobs,more average people owning guns is nothing but a good thing.

I'll wait.
licences dealers at gunshows still have to do it, private sellers at gunshows do not.
you don't have to be a licences dealer to have a booth at a gunshow.


http://usgovinfo.about.com/blgunshow.htm

All dealers must keep records of sales. Id quote it for you, but you really need to read and get educated on the topic abit.


yes all federally licences dealers, not all the people with booths selling guns at a gun show are licences dealers. a dealers licence is not required to sell guns at a gunshow.

read it in your own source

What is it about a private person renting a booth at a gun show vs a private seller putting an ad in a newspaper or online say at gunlist, etc?
Either way it is still legal for a private sale to be conducted. This is no different of when my friends and I go out to those idiotic gun buy backs and offer them cash instead of them getting some dumb gas card. It is a legal transaction.

So what is it that a gun show makes this much more detrimental?

not in the slightest.

If you hold a federal firearms dealer permit you need to keep a record, even if you sell at a gunshow.
if you do not hold a federal firearms dealer permit, you CAN sell guns at a gunshow and you DO NOT need to record the sale.

Your mistaking the record of sale for a background check.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

1. None of those should be legal, without a record and permit.

2. gunshows are more detrimental simply because they involve extremely large numbers of such sales, and could easily be regulated.
Not that I ever argued it was, more detrimental up till this point, I merely said you could buy guns with no record at a gun show and people popped up and tried and failed to prove me wrong.

We already explained why that is a non-argument,now could the gun control advocates stop flexing the muscles of the Government? I don't think that you have realized this but what we are talking about when we say we will not hesitate to kill to protect ourselves and our rights is an action entirely dependent upon us.I can't say the same for your case,your fantasies about the Government carpet bombing or nuking civilians aren't up to you.You're not the Government.So stop drooling over this nonsense.

1. its an opinion that's what "should" means, I even underlined it and still I get this nonsense.

2. renting a gun =/= purchasing a gun.
I would like you to show me where I have said anything about renting a gun.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Currently these things are legal so to me this is a NON ISSUE. But hey why stop there at firearms sales, lets make everything subjected to bill of sale and permits.

Well for the longest time for me going way back to the 70's there has always been this non issue of private sales being allowed and that this somehow is detrimental to society when it isn't. The right to buy and sell private property should be left alone and far from govt meddling.
