so now what?

Well for one, don't follow the law.
I don't plan on playing.
They criminalizes me then I will just be one.

Thanks Colorado. I plan to move in the future now.

there is no real chance of that one not becoming law.

What makes you say that?

[polski]

Except for the product liability bill, every gun control bill that passes thru committee will become law since the Dems control the show.

[merl]

What makes you say that?

Nothing is actually infringed, can still buy and sell just another hoop.

before someone jumps all over me, that's the devils advocate speaking

This will lead to registration. How else will they prove the transaction happened after the law passed.

This will lead to registration. How else will they prove the transaction happened after the law passed.

the fiscal impact statement estimates 500 deals will be caught resulting in 1000 convictions/year, though most will also be charged with other crimes. Pretty much depends on catching in the act (no more meeting at the local walmart under the security camera) or someone admitting it.
That same fiscal statement admits that there has not been one prosecution for sale at a gun show without a check.

These folks see the govt as the good guys, registration is a good thing to them. That argument falls on deaf ears.
