Getting a gun is getting easier. We discovered private sellers on social media trying to either trade their guns or sell them for money. Also, it's not illegal.
Everyone we talked to seemed concerned over the situation because practically anyone can offer to buy that gun.
"They're probably doing it unlicensed, unwarranted, unsupervised," said Fort Myers resident David Dubouse.
He doesn't like guns, doesn't own guns, and hates what they're capable of, but Peter Babock wouldn't take your second amendment rights away.
"I would not deny anybody the right to own a gun as long as it was done legally," he said.
The law says it's legal to sell firearms on social media. |

This is not how criminals get guns. The don't buy them at gun shows and they don't buy them though social media.
They get them by theft, straw purchase, or on the street from other criminals.
Restrictions proposed by the anti gun liberals will only affect law abiding gun owners. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
