They gather dust....
....but, when Cletus needs to get a fancy new gun with MORE MANSTOPPING POWAH.......he commonly sells the old one to finance a portion of the cost. This, Brian, this is how the guns who end up killing people get into the hands of people who kill people. Mostly, because the people who end up killing people can't afford a new gun, or buy one at the walmart counter....an manufacturers sure as shit aren't interested in direct selling to them.
NO SHIT.... So for that disturbed person, who fantasizes about shooting people, .... how does it help with our current laws to simply assume that "no record" when they walk in, and buy LEGALLY means that disturbed person won't be dangerous after the legal buy?
This isn't just about the mentally ill. My dad was legal when he bought his firearms, and was a High School biology teacher WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD. But he still managed to get drunk and fire his 38 in a tiny townhouse with me in the same room.
