No gun registration in Louisiana or Texas

Linker · September 20, 2022, 02:51 AM

I had this discussion a few years ago in Louisiana with a few people and could not convince any of them. I used to sell guns in the early 90s so I knew but these guys insisted. I even told them to call law enforcement but they wouldn't and instead insisted I was wrong. I told them they were filling out a form 4473 which is a federal form but they wouldn't believe me. I even named states that had registration like California and New York. I could not believe that they thought they knew better than me after I used to be licensed to sell. I was rowing against the flow.

I forgot to say that while in Texas a police officer even mentioned to me that Texas had no gun registration. I don't even remember what the conversation was about but it came up.

Sorry but do you have a point you are trying to make?

Sounds like frustration about knowing an answer and others refusing to believe him. Happens all the time on line. Best to just let it go but I do understand the need to vent a bit now and then.

I agree, but Linker didn't tell us what people don't believe him about. It appears that he's talking about people who believe that gun registration exists in places where it doesn't -- but he didn't come out and say that.

It was frustration on having them not believe me. Have any of you experienced this at times when you were telling the truth. The title says "No gun registration in Louisiana or Texas". Yes I was venting. Wag seems to get it.

So you are coming out now to express your frustration of people not believing something you said in the 1990s???

Why do you care if they believe you.

That behavior makes me take anything that "they" say I on a topic I am not familiar with as being questionable at best.

While you have a point, I don't see it as a point for discussion in the Law and Civil Rights forum.
