not to ruin someones thread but,why post potential illegal act on here?

[Irving]

I posted on another local board for many years. They implemented a minimum post count to view certain forums because a lot of car thieves viewed the site and would steal people's stuff, or just sign up to sell stolen parts.

The minimum post count kind of cleaned up the for sale section, but not completely. I hope it doesn't come to that here, but that is just my person opinion. When you do that, a lot of focus is moved to who is legit and who is not, and really takes away from the site itself. It becomes like an exclusive club where every new member is frowned down on and scoffed at for months before they are accepted.



On another note though, what if you want to buy someone a gun as a gift? How is that not a straw purchase, and what makes that acceptable compared to any other straw purchase?

its semantics. but he is saying he is out of state . therefore a prohibited person. if his son were to post an ad just stating he was looking for a firearm for a gift for his dad. and nothing else, it would have went unnoticed. but the way he went about it, looked criminal.


i wouldnt say minimum time or posts to buy. just to sell. if someone wants to sell to a new member, good.

I believe gifting is specifically covered in the law .. as in it is allowed ( assuming the person receiving the gift is legal to own )

It's kinda like dating ........ Take a girl to dinner and a movie .. it's legal to have sex .. give her 40 bucks and it's prostitution LOL

Haha, great point.

Give her a $2,000 engagement ring to contract her till death do you part and it's okay.
Give her $2,000 cash and she is a high priced escort.

This for sale thread has an aroma to it. IF this guy in MN is as claimed then he damn well knows what constitutes a "Straw Purchase". Unattended # at his "Old Forensic Lab"? Leave your own incriminating voicemail!
Don't tell me they don't sell Glocks in MN-
This one has more flags than the front of the UN building.

Speaking of which, remember the post titled "Something Bugs me" or similar. That thread stunk for the reason the OP was pissy about sellers requesting ID . Now the OP claimed to be an ex LEO and could not understand the importance of showing an ID or a BOS. BS!
I think the trolls are in full flight...

As far as a certain number of posts before you can post a firearm for sale, I think it is a good idea.
How about this idea- instead of a certain timeframe/post count- New members can only post firearm accessories or non firearm items until a becoming a verified member.
Verification could only occur after X amount of positive feedbacks from verified existing members.
I think it could be a good way to thin the crops.
Just a thought........

Rules would have to very specific... I don't sell a lot and would hate to be limited on what I could do because I didn't have enough appropiate "feedback"....

I bet if Bigbear had never made that joke about shooting dogs...

HAHAH. RRRRRUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!

Another board I'm on requires 30 days membership and 25 legitimate posts before items can be listed in the classifieds, and also to post in some forum sections. This has kept the idjits to a minimum.....


I looked at the original post, and the only thing missing is the FBI/ATF approved GPS/Dye packet.... someone appears to be fishing for retards....

It's a joke I make all the time.......

just never make it infront of a woman without the right sense of humor...... they never seem to find it as funny as the males of the group do .....

And NEVER EVER make it when on a first date... no matter how good her sense of humor is ............... LOL Don't ask how I know........

and yes I'll admit my sense of humor is........... off.
