My FACEBOOK post to try to educate my contacts about Universal BGC

Neither I nor anyone else can slay the monsters you imagine in your fevered dreams. Look into getting an FFL yourself so you can limit those $300 a pop transfer charges?

Is there a reason you're provoking me instead of using the law to prove me wrong. Because I'm down to be proven wrong, but not in the mood to be provoked.

While I agree with the spirit of your statements, their expression as a series of missing-middle worst cases remind me of the way "progressives" exaggerate and misrepresent, and as your stated purpose was to 'educate', I guess I expect more reasonable discourse from our side.

For "using the law to prove you wrong"... the law does not prevent such a thing from happening, but until the law also requires you to use one particular FFL, it's a fallacy to claim the $300 a pop each way as a real consequence of the legislation, since the checks actually wouldn't be required if the firearms were secured, and would not cost $300 each way even if they ended up being necessary. Obamacare doesn't prevent a doctor from charging anything they want for their services, for instance, just sets limits on what the government will pay. It is incorrect to say that obamacare will make your office visits to the doctor cost you $3500 out of pocket, just because the law doesn't PREVENT such a thing from happening - and there are still doctors out there who will do it for less even if some might like to charge that $3500.

For the storage requirements, it's been done that way for around the last 80 years with NFA firearms stored with someone other than the person they're registered to. If Colorado in the future re-interprets things in a manner stricter than the feds have been doing, the point perhaps could be revisited, but for now there's about 79 years of precedent in support of my interpretation, and no precedent that I'm aware of in support of your interpretation.
