Dudley Brown Spikes The Ball

I am all for it. I have had multiple background checks, and I insisted that any gun I sold transfered to the new buyer via a background check YEARS before this legislation…

Here is where they f'ed up: First, the fee. Now in and by itself, no biggie, pass it on to the buyer, but – the legislation – the one requiring the check, not the fee, mandated that FFL's were required -by law- to not charge more that $10 for the service. Well, the background check is 10 bucks itself, so, in effect, they required gun dealers (who buy the way make very little profit per gun) to net zero on a transaction that is 3rd party and hold full responsibility for the paperwork for 20 years.

Now, who cares, right? Its gun money fuckem. Well, they are not REQUIRED to accept private sale transactions. They don't have to do it. And they don't. They make $35 bucks transfering uzi's bought off gunbroker 20x a day. Why would they bother. 

More importantly – why the hell would the Dems write in such an absurd stipulation to a bill that otherwise seems so "common sense"? Well, from my perspective there could be 2 reasons. One, they are so fucking stupid that the expect those money hungry gun nuts to transfer guns for free, or, that making the process so financially unfeasible it will halt the flow private transactions with violating some gun nuts perceived "rights"

I tend to believe its the latter. No offense its better than being fucking stupid, right?

Wherever you are, any town, any place in CO – Call your gun shop. Call ALL your gun shops.  Ask them how many private guns sales they have done. My county has done 0. Thats none. Yet the newpapers still have guns for sale, and they seem to sell, or they just remove the ad after a few days, or something.

Now the law has brought the private gun trade underground, the exact opposite of its intent, and far, far worse for the general population than before, because guns "with no papers" are now a hot commodity, and worth more. Lots more. And now more people want them. Lots more. 

All over regulating the profit for the service they required. Note again this in not the background check fee bill, we are talking HB-1229.  Is there another service in CO that the government dictates how much you can charge for it? Just wondering…..
