(4,062 posts)The "Batman killer" ignored the law -- just like the gun culture. How many times do we need to hear "just enforce the existing laws" in counterpoint with the "wink, wink, nudge nudge" about the existing laws.
Three statements I have heard personally in the last month:
"It's not legal to own assembled, but you certainly can store the PARTS."
"Let's drive to <NEXT STATE OVER> and buy some high capacity magazines."
"I can sell you this here but we'd have to do the papers. I'm not using mine, so come over tonight."
I'd go on, but I'm already too reminded of alcohol and high school and just realized you guys just never grew up apparently -- just found the next titillation of something just on the edge of legality and then occupied yourself trying to figure out how to satisfy the letter of the law and not the spirit.
I've already discussed your motivations.
In the end you're right. Guns are not the problem. Gun culture is.
