Using my exceptional American freedom I have bought sold and traded quite a few guns. I have sold off some just because I needed the money. The result is that I have had the pleasure of owning and shooting many more guns than my modest income would ever had allowed. And then trade them off for something different. A stupid do nothing background check or registration law would have meant nothing but less happiness and more money to a government the is not looking out for my best interests. The progressive ideology, that is to say communist-lite, is the only real reason for stupid gun laws. We must be disarmed before we can be overtaken by oppression.
