    why? that is not true at the federal level

    you have the right to wear whatever you want in your home-what federal law prevents that

    you have the right to say prayers to whatever god you choose

    Now you are qualifying. I can get $12,000 72 out of 72 times if 72 people agree to give me $1,000 each.

    None of which changes the fact that the process is illegal, regardless of the ease of carrying something out. If not through the internet, a prohibited individual could simply ask around in person and yield the same results.

    Use is not the same thing as either acquisition or possession, therefore the comparison is invalid.

    Except any restriction on constitutional rights must be meaningful in the nature of their existence. Restrictions existing simply for the sake of existing is not allowed.

    Then stop talking about how all rights supposedly have restrictions as if such actually has any relevance.

    Why would one ever go to Dicks Sporting Goods to buy a gun legally? LOL

    Not per the GAO study. In 72 tries, nobody was willing to sell to prohibited people. Yes, theoretically it could happen, but in reality it's rare.

    Why would a prohibited person even want to try from someone out of state when it is so easy and available in state?

    Regardless of where it was acquired, or how it was acquired, it was illegal from the very start. Nothing changes such facts.

    Regardless of how a Felon buys a gun, it is still an illegal sale, and when caught, it is still illegal possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

    Felons and other prohibited people are not applying for or being issued concealed carry permits either, so since there are effective policies in place, why ask for
    more restrictions affecting only law abiding citizens ???

    Because the policies in place are not effective

    Then there is quite literally no justification for them to actually be in place, and should be repealed immediately. If they are not effective, they should never have been enacted to begin with.

    Remove the currently existing ones first and start over fresh.
