Something like 99% or more of all illegally trafficked firearms in the US a start off being purchased legally and enter the black market through one of several methods. By decreasing the number of firearms on the legal market through laws and restrictions, we decrease the number of firearms available to make their way into the illegal markets. So yes, you are in fact correct, with increased laws and restrictions on the purchase of firearms (especially federal laws rather than just state laws) we can make sure these guns would never have brought here!!

So they'll fine people with speed cameras, but don't bother to pull over cars going 20mph or more over the speed limit? Just today I had the pleasure of being on route 12 with 2 brand new mustangs. Paper registrations couldn't even be seen through the wicked dark tint on the rear windshield. It's 45mph and 2 lanes. They legit raced one another reaching a minimum of 80. They flew past 2 SEPERATE speed traps! Neither the trooper, nor the town cop, reacted. Bullshit.

Yes, locals will stop you but if you have a good reason you will just get a warning. They will look at your tires and for any other violations..its a cop magnet.

My impression after talking to the cop is that most people with no front plate are misusing the back plate on the vehicle to drive an unregistered vehicle around.

Locals are the ones that stop for bad lights and things hanging from the rearview mirror.
