"Getting Around" the Constitution

They can't ban guns. It's in the Constitution. But making selling guns so expensive they can't do it, is NOT. So that's what California is doing. They're making it so expensive to BE a gun dealer that they can no longer afford to be in business there. That effectively bans guns in California. It will be a boon for ILLEGAL gun dealers, who don't have to worry about regulations, like LEGAL gun dealers do. Those legal dealers will go to another state, where they aren't quite so stupid and sell their wares to the ILLEGAL gun dealers, who will then bring their guns back into California and sell them on the black market. It's inevitable. Make ANYTHING hard to get, ANYWHERE, and there will soon be a black market in that product. (Allen West)
