Until they start guarding the border and stopping the free travel this is all just politics.

I am torn by this...if something is not done, then gun owners take a bashing by the liberals. If something is done, then its one step toward more restrictive gun purchases...

But if I was a FFL dealer near the border, I would have a stockpile of "faulty" guns. I would sell those to people I suspect are acting as gun runners. Because once it gets into the hands of the shooter, its to late for a return. And besides, it will probably get some gun runner whacked for selling faulty merchandise.

2 other threads about this in General Discussions. It is nice we are going to change our laws because of the high murder rate in mexico.

I'd like to see a list of these so called tens of thousands of recovered guns. Better yet, pictures showing the serial numbers.

So what systems do the gun shops have in place to even know when one buys more than one a week? Are they required to have certain software/computer systems in place for this?

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has asked the White House budget office to approve an emergency request requiring border-area gun dealers to report the sales of two or more rifles to the same customer within a five-day period.

OK so what are they going to do with this info? If I buy a M4 type AR carbine, a 9mm AR, and a heavy barrel NM type rifle all on the same day, just what are they going to do? Come knocking on my door? If so what will they want? I can see it going down like this.

ATF: Did you buy these guns?
Me: Yeah man.
ATF: Do you still have them?
Me: Yeah man.
ATF: Why did you buy them?
Me: Uh, like man, because I wanted them?
ATF: Can we see them?
Me: Yeah man. Just as soon as you show me a warrant for those same serial numbers. Until then :finger:

Not a problem. A little acid and a few minutes and you can see them plain as day.

Ya I know it was a joke
