Yeh I understand that, why I mentioned private party sales. It's why when someone sells a firearm, I'm not sure why they collect all this info as if they're govt enforcers themselves. Read any gun forum and it's rife with that.

I don't think they're traitors. But the average person may not have the time to get involved in a firearm community, where you could do private party sales or trades, and they might not live in a state with gun shows, especially since even the gun shows bought in the COVID mania and shit down in a lot of places. So if you're limited in that aspect, your choice is buy a new firearm, and you have to fill out paperwork.

But I will correct you. Shall not be infringed is meaningless. If the people no longer believe in the precepts and basis of the Constitution, then it's essentially staying together for the kids. Paper tigers.
