No.
Don't you get it?
The new law would keep Jimmy from buying 20 guns in a day.
I'm worried about Jimmy. He buys guns "legally" and then sells them not so legally.If Jimmy abides by the law in general? Sure.
In which case, you have absolutely nothing to worry about if he bought 10 today and 10 tomorrow for the same total in 48 hrs. Or 70 a week.
You re worried about the wrong guy.
Thats the same question I've asked about guns.If fraudulent voters don't follow the current laws why would you think they will follow new laws?
So he's going to do what different with a new law?I'm worried about Jimmy. He buys guns "legally" and then sells them not so legally.
or maybe the gov'ment could enforce existin gun laws?Thats the same question I've asked about guns.
If people are not only purchasing guns illegally but then using them in a illegal fashion, you could abolish the 2nd altogether and you re still going to have "gun violence" by the same people that refuse to follow the law now.
I guess it boils down to how many fraudulent votes are you willing to tolerate before you start making laws that inconvenience law abiding citizens in the hopes of reducing the number of fraudulent votes.Thats the same question I've asked about guns.

There is no “gun show loophole” that can be “closed”. It’s literally impossible to do. And there’s no reason to limit someone’s constitutional right to buy a legal product just because you have an illogical fear of themClose the gun show loophole.
Limit the number of guns that can be purchased by an individual in a given time frame.
You can legally own a gun (firearm) without a CWP. I know more people without a CWP than with that (can) legally own guns.I’m no lawyer and am not versed in commerce case law. But it is my understanding that the “loophole” was left out of the law on purpose due to the lack of authority to regulate a private sale between 2 private individuals within a state. In that case a firearm is no different than a lawnmower in terms of what the feds have the power to regulate.
Now, personally, I wouldn’t sell a firearm to another without seeing a CWP. I think it’s still a personal responsibility to ensure your not arming someone who isn’t legally supposed to have one.
I too think the law would be a lot more useful to the people who have to abide by it, if we could all just rely our own understanding of certain words. Unfortunately, this often turns into people making up standards that suit their own purposes or legislators pushing envelopes. So things have to be given a precise meaning. And when one considers the precise meaning given to the commerce clause authority, your post is almost entirely incorrect.
Wickard v. Filburn is just one case and I brought it up for two reasons: 1. To show that intrusion into private activity is fair game and 2. it established the aggregation principle.
Both of which are principles that are applicable to private gun sales, even if it’s not the exact same private activity.
Supreme Court opinions are all publicly available. There have been a lot of law review articles written criticizing their interpretation of the commerce clause. Many of them are also publicly available. I’d start with at least looking at Wikipedia for NLRB v. Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp, US v. Darby, Wickard, and then US v. Lopez in 1995. If you don’t want to do all of that just start with Lopez, which further articulated the definition of substantial impact on interstate commerce.
It’s amazing how blind to this most people are."Not a gun person"
That's the mistake, you still think this is about guns. It's about rights some cowards are willing to part with in the name of govt control while others are not. Right now the current admin is trying to take away the 4th by using the 2nd as a boogeyman. You lack foresight
I collect WW2 firearms. I have not purchased any in about a year. In the past 2 weeks I’ve run into 4 must haves. Why should I not get to collect history because of someone else having problems?It would also punish Carl and not permit him to buy 20 guns a day whe Carl hasn’t done anything illegal.
