Gun Control & RKBA

icon: We were talking about *handguns*, not long arms. Interstate transfer of those is still illegal

No, WE weren't. WE, that is Johnston to whom I replied to, wrote this:

GJohnston: the ATF also said that the tracing data is not and should not be used to support claims of trafficking or straw purchasing since DC residents can not legally go to those states to buy guns.
All the data shows is that is where the last 4473 was filled out. For example, guy in Florida gets job in New Jersey. Guns get stolen in New Jersey and one shows up up at a DC crime scene. Since the guy bought that one of the guns in Guam when he was in the Air Force, one will be traced as coming from Guam thirty years ago.

Johnston's link to DC traces listed 219 rifles & shotguns out of 1345 total gun traces. Johnston was speaking of GUNS, not just handguns. Whether he goofed is pretty apparent since he hasn't peeped a word about it (likely be joined by his amigo marmol imo).

Who's this 'we' you refer to, egg faced kimosabe?
Can't stop laughing!!!
