Another one, never said anyone mails anything, nor that Craigslist sells guns, rather implying Armslist works similar to Craigslist, as long as you don’t trade across State lines, and mark the box agreeing to consenting to all applicable rules and regulations, it is a private sale, just like that which you buy via Craigslist

The Mesquite, Texas police used to have an annual sale of goods that were collected by the police that were determined to be stolen goods.
It used to be a good place to buy firearms, but about 10 years ago, they don't include guns in the sale.
The Mesquite Police Department started having all of their guns confiscated shredded into scrap metal now.
This is also how the Dallas Police Department handles the guns that they confiscate- on a much larger basis!

They also offer a military discount. W00t! https://www.armslist.com/military
Okay, private sale as long as it follows the law. What is it you want to ban?

I support their right to choose.

Government destruction
Law enforcement agencies recover huge quantities of firearms each year. Although the total number recovered across the country is unknown, a single police department like Chicago can bring in as many as 11,000 annually. These guns are kept as evidence until a case is over, at which point some police departments destroy them, while others sell them off.
Reporting shows that several of the country’s largest police departments — Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Houston — send their crime guns out to facilities where they’re shredded or melted down. The New York Police Department told us that it destroys about 5,000 handguns and 1,500 rifles and shotguns each year, while the Philadelphia Police Department told us it destroys somewhere between 2,500 and 5,000. The Chicago Police Department told us that in 2019 and 2020 it destroyed a total of 3,100 guns. (We’ve also requested figures for Los Angeles and Houston, and we’ll update the story as soon as we get them.)
In fact, so many guns are destroyed every year that an entire industry has sprung up around it, with companies that cater to police departments and turn melted guns into scrap metal that’s used to construct buildings, farm equipment — and sometimes even art.
More controversially, some police departments sell crime guns back to the public. At the gun lobby’s behest, 12 states have laws on the books encouraging or requiring local police departments to sell crime guns. That’s irked gun reform and victims’ advocates, as well as some police officials, who object to the idea of murder weapons being put back into circulation. Their fears aren’t unfounded: The Kentucky State Police holds confiscated weapons auctions several times a year and uses the proceeds to pay for body armor. In May, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported that nearly three dozen of those guns were later used in crimes.
The federal government’s policy is generally to destroy seized guns, either by melting them down, shredding them, or recycling them. In 2015, CNN Money reported that more than 90,000 guns have been destroyed by the federal government over the previous decade.
There are also gun buybacks, which are typically overseen by local law enforcement and intended as a way to get guns off the street, though they’ve been shown to have a negligible effect on crime. Gun owners are usually offered gift cards or cash for surrendered firearms, no questions asked. The first gun buyback program was held in Baltimore in 1974, and participants were paid $50 per firearm.
There’s no official accounting of guns collected in buybacks across the country each year, but academics have offered some insight. A study published this past spring by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private nonprofit research group, identified 339 gun buyback programs held in 277 cities between 1991 and 2015 that netted a total of more than 16,000 guns. But this is hardly a comprehensive figure, as several police agencies didn’t publicly report totals for each buyback, and the tally only included cities with a population of 50,000 people or more. The study also omitted states like New York, where more than 4,000 firearms have been collected through gun buyback events hosted by the state attorney general’s office over the last seven years.

If someone is bound and determined to get a gun they will find a way to get one... what needs to be done is to provide better mental health care and pay attention to what's going on in schools these days...kids talked in the good old days these days they post on social media everywhere... so if you see something you say something and you do something...

I can see why the gun buyback program failed: Why turn in a gun for $50 when it can go for $500 out of your trunk in the 'Hood or a BBQ?
For beginners, banning gun sales over the Internet, and initiating regulation on private sales
“ Myth
“Current federal law requires background checks to be performed for anyone purchasing a firearm at a federally licensed gun dealer–however only 40% of guns sold in the US are sold through a federally licensed dealer. In most states, sales at gun shows, flea markets, and private gun sales are not subject to regulations.”
“30% of guns involved in criminal trafficking are connected to gun shows, where background checks aren’t required. The trafficking of guns generally involves a highly efficient, organized, and profitable business that moves guns from legal manufacture to dealers to criminals and young people who can’t buy guns legally.”

Once again, mental health is a consideration, but good luck on that one, ain’t going test and classify everyone in America on their mental health, using it as the solution is a deflection
Regulating access to guns is better, make it more difficult for those who shouldn’t obtain a weapon from getting a weapon

Black, white, green, or blue, it ain’t the person, it is what makes it possible for the person to shoot large numbers in seconds, all about access to guns, not race

...then don't admit minors to gun shows..
If someone wants a gun and they can't buy one legally they will find one every single time...

So you want to force a father to take his son down to some place for a background check when giving him a .22 rifle for Christmas? How much should this cost people?
Blacks just shoot at people at a much higher rate! MUCH HIGHER, higher than all other races combined
Poor anchovies
ask hunter biden who "checked all the boxes" how that is going for him. Felony time.
Hunter had that gun for 24 hours. Poor lyingfish trying to connect what is unrelated.
Black Americans make up the majority of gun homicide victims in the US. In fact, 83% of all gun deaths among Black Americans are gun homicides.11 Despite the fact that Black boys and men account for just six percent of the total population, they comprise more than half of all gun homicide victims.12
The disparities in Black and white homicide rates are particularly stark in large cities and counties. Research suggests that roughly half of all gun homicides take place in just 127 cities,13 driving the elevated rates of homicides in these geographies. In the nation’s 20 largest counties, Black men ages 18 to 25 die from gun homicides at a rate nearly 19 times that of white residents.14 This disparity means that while five out of every 100,000 young white people in these counties die from gun homicides, more than one in every 10,000 young Black people are killed in such incidents.15

19 times that of white residents. do u get that part stupid fuck,,,it is about race
There is high gun crime in big cities because of blacks!
And I agree with this. Instead of reaching back and blaming Reagan (and his legislation is likely at fault) both sides need to come together and fix it.
To the bolded above, I ain’t holding my breath. They are both too scared of looking weak.
