“A recent ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen could have broader implications than at first appeared. Amid a flurry of lawsuits challenging gun laws across the United States, analysts are now claiming that the top court’s decision could potentially end all gun control laws in the country.

In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.”

Evidently tomorrow (10/19) at 10:30am Eastern there’s to be an online discussion about this on something called Crossroads. One link appears to be at: https://rumble.com/user/Crossroads_JoshuaPhilipp. Wouldn’t put money on it, but it might be an intriguing discussion.

"Could you buy a gun with no paperwork at all someday?"

Why not? We did in the 60's. The only paperwork needed at the hardware store was dollar bills.

I can.

isn't that already true in a wide swath of States. I know it is in mine.

In stages where private party transfer is allowed you certainly can

And by that time, I betcha you still can't ship it without an FFL.

"Someday"? We can do it right here right now. Legally.

I believe the subject of this thread refers to retail purchases of firearms, not private purchases.

Thank you, that is correct. I’m afraid I failed to make it clear.

A touch or grandiose hyperbole considering it hasn't even put an end to the laws it was supposed to put an end to. World of make believe chit chat.

Federal judge says banning guns from Time Square is unconstitutional. Same day NYC mayor signs law banning guns in Time Square.

THAT'S your reality. Just like anything else, from smallest petty thief to the President, laws are meaningless to those who don't follow them.

Depends on where you live. The Commerce Clause, I believe, will be restricted at some point back to original intent. It is currently being used in litigation against California because CA has "quality of life" laws for livestock, and won't ship pork to states who do not. The suit is heading thru the courts as we speak. This is an appropriate use of the ICC. Gun laws, IMHO, are not. I believe each state should have its own laws that, of course, do not infringe as outlined in the Constitution. Once again, IMHO, simply requiring ID showing age should be sufficient.

I could easily see the courts, under authorization by the Second Amendment, allowing the federal government to impose laws restricting the states from imposing restrictions the gun rights of individuals.

When I was much younger, even in the less than free state of Maryland, you could purchase face to face from another Maryland resident without paperwork. Every Saturday night, I would go out for the Sunday paper because it had the most ads for guns for sale. (Those ads went away, and so did face to face.)

Early on, when I was just barely able to go to a gun show by myself — I asked a visiting dealer from, I believe, Montana, what you needed to buy a gun there. “You need to be about this tall (gesturing) so you can slide the cash across the counter.”
