Contrary to uninformed mainstream media belief, gun shops don’t just sell artillery to anyone who walks through the door. The B.S. about “unregulated gun purchases” is just that. (Fun fact: Guns are the only consumer product sold in the United States that require a federal background check for every single transaction.)
Well I'm glad to hear that gun shops are the only place you can buy a gun now, apparently.

I'm not feeling like this is a lol-gun-ownership kind of day, to be honest.

When I bought a Springfield 1911 a decade or so ago, the gunshop owner was more than happy to walk me through all the loopholes the California/Federal gun laws had to offer.

Except for, y'know, private sale between owners or collectors. Which seem to comprise a good number of the sellers at local gun shows.

Yeah, that not-funny 5-year-old blog post seems like a really odd, ugly thing to post today.

Mentioning a bank across the street? Getting fired? Well jeez I'm really glad these clerks are catching all these subtleties.

For a specific example: Go to a Big 5 and lie and say I had lost my hunting license. They would then issue me a new one. This would allow me to illegally bypass the California requirement of taking a handgun safety class before taking possession of my pistol.

On top of everything else, let's mock schizophrenics as well! Fuck this article and fuck this post.
