Just a thought, but if the 1968 gun law was eliminated, do you think manufacturers would start shipping directly? I guess the small ones would. I figure the big manufacturers would still want to go through their distributors for liability reasons.
Are you forgetting that we the people used to be able to buy and receive firearms through the mail?
"They" made a BFD out of Lee Harvey Oswald buying his Carcano by mail order and by-mail purchasing was condemned "somehow" in the minds of the stupids that if that were not possible, the crime would not have happened. Hence, eliminating by-mail purchasing became another clever little "choke point" in the anti's long term scheme to eliminate firearms in the hands of the public altogether.
The minds of the stupid often rule by the force of their stupid votes.
And once again it becomes obvious that by sheer virtue of the passage of time, these
restrictions <ahem, koff koff> infringements become normalized.
That's how the "erosion" of rights becomes acceptable.
