You still haven't shown the mechanics of how a license is 1) necessary or 2) needed.......
I have repeatedly, I'm not going to do it again since you are unable to comprehend written English, or are both dishonest and Willfully Ignorant (probably too dumb, but I'm being kind)
If you are comitting a crime with a gun and are caught...no license was needed to arrest you because you are actually breaking the law at the time of arrest......and if you are already a convicted criminal and are caught using or simply possessing a gun...no license is needed to make that illegal.......so again licensing law abiding citizens is just pointless paperwork....
I am not even interested in arresting people who may unknowingly sell guns to felons...if they are not selling large numbers of weapons.....why would I not care? Because I don't want to scoop up the widow of a gun owner who is trying to get rid of her husbands gun, sells it to someone when she doesn't know she has to make sure the guy isn't a criminal.........no reason to send her away for years, or make her a felon.
For people knowingly selling in quantity to criminals....you can already arrest them by setting up a sting...and you don't bother the law abiding people......
and the thing is....if the widow sells the gun to a felon because she is unaware of the byzantine gun laws.....you can still arrest the actual criminal buying the gun because he still can't legally own it....again...no pointless paperwork needed....
Right Wrycatcher?
No, not correct
"You still haven't shown the mechanics of how a license is 1) necessary or 2) needed......."?

You can't answer the question because your answer doesn't address how licensing and registration do anything to stop crime.....so you keep blathering on and on....
Let me dumb it down, just for you:
Speed Limits do not stop people from speeding
By your reasoning (lol, I use this term loosely) there are no needs for laws.
A license which allows someone to own, possess or have in his or her custody or control can be suspended or revoked for cause. Thus a person who commits a crime as I outlined above, or has been detained as a danger to themselves or others, can have their license suspended or revoked, and their guns surrendered or taken.
I'm not going to get into the details or definitions since I'm not writing a law. Suffice it to write, once again, that a licensed person who provides a gun to an unlicensed person will lose their guns. That should slow down the proliferation of guns into the hands of those who seek to do harm.
IT IS NOT A PANACEA, IT IS ONE MEANS TO TRY TO MITIGATE GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA.
I've posted this a dozen times, only idiots (like you) keep asking the same question; a loaded question (which is a logical fallacy), something I've also pointed out ad nauseaum.
Major difference.
Speed limits affect speeders, they do not affect non speeders
Gun laws affect honest citizens, they do not affect criminals
Exactly........they don't really care about criminals getting guns...their policy choices show it....they just hate normal people who want to own guns and they know they can punish those people with the right laws....the more confusing the better.......
There is nothing normal about you!
