Illegal guns

[Gator]

So explain to me, what makes a gun "illegal"?


"Officers have gotten 560 illegal guns off the street, which is 40 more than this time last year."

"Assault Weapon" and "illegal guns" =nonsense buzz words created by anti gun media outlets...

Obviously these guns are from Mexico and are undocumented.

 

[HMP]

stolen?
no serial numbers?

 

[Chuckman]

Buzzword Bingo, where words are made up and definitions are meaningless...

This. It’s tough to think of “illegal guns” in the technical sense. You have illegal possessors of guns but the guns themselves are just fine.

I guess you could call the following illegal guns, but even these are a little debatable:
Altered/removed serial
Illegally made NFA items (procedural violation)
Illegally imported/smuggled

Spectrum news? What a joke! Hahahahaha!

I thought an ATF letter defined illegal nowadays

 

[Mike Overlay]

They simply are undocumented.

Know nothings here on TV say...John Doe was arrested for carrying an illegal gun....How about ..John Doe was arrested for illegally carrying a gun...

I'll agree with that. But the quote actually came from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Deputy Chief Coerte Voorhees.

If I took my neighbors pickup and was stopped by LEO, is his truck illegal?

It's all the same trick.

You see it often enough and you start to think negative stuff (violence, crime, etc) when you hear the word "gun"
Especially if you have no other exposure to guns that might make a bigger impression.

If you live in California or one of the other commie states, I guess you could have an illegal gun?

They should have arrested the gun and let John Doe Go!

I use to live in Kalifornia and when I moved I took all my guns with me. Does this mean that all or some of my guns are illegal?

I have three pieces of plastic that I purchased living in NC that that were sent to me through the US Mail without a background check. I have turned these three pieces of plastic into guns without serial numbers. Two of them shoot very well and are as reliable as a Glock. I am not aware of any law in NC that makes them illegal in this state but I do know that Kalifornia has a law that makes them illegal in their state.

No, it would be an undocumented gun.

Hollyweird does it often. How many references do you think there have been in the movies and on TV in the last 20 years as to whether or not a gun was "registered" to a particular person?
