There you go.
gfretwell has spoken on the Constitution.
And "predicted."


I did not speak for the Constitution, the SCOTUS did and that was how
they determined that NFA34 was legal.
GCA68 was simply an extension of NFA34

Many laws that were not structured that way were struck down by
Heller.


And a new court may say otherhwise.

As for the underground gun economy, it flourishes the most in places
where the laws are strictest. When will we ever learn the lesson of
prohibition?
Name one law against things people want that has not caused a massive
underground enterprise to supply that item and short circuit any
effort to regulate it..


Incandescent light bulbs. I think "people want" is variable.
People in Mass wanted gun registration. They got it.
It'll happen federally, when the times comes.
Guns don't care about state borders.


Passing a law doesn't get guns registered, except for those guns whose owners want to register them.
The people in Mass may have wanted gun registration, but all the guns didn't come in and register
themselves.

Homicides have been dropping in Boston, but...

"Despite that encouraging news, the almost-year-end statistics reveal a troubling reality: Although
police continue to confiscate guns, the street supply remains steady enough for overall gun violence
to continue unabated. The number of 2013 shootings by Dec. 22 is almost exactly what it was last
year: 246."
