Because I keep failing these theory exams and I’m about to throw the towel. These laws, rules and stuff are so stupid and complicated to remember. Also this shit isn’t cheap to do and I don’t have a car anyways.

    OP scares me, really.

    “I want a gun but there are so many silly rules and things to know.”

      Tbf, there are a gun laws/classifications that are silly. Short barrel rifles were banned solely to fill in a loophole in the National Firearms Act because Congress was originally going to ban handguns. Then Congress realized that a handgun ban probably would be shot down by SCOTUS, so they took out the handgun ban and forgot to remove the SBR ban.

        Preaching to the choir. Gun owners wouldn’t be so opposed to legislation if they weren’t already a slew of dumb laws and loopholes.

        There was a great meme or post where someone is explaining gun laws to another person who’s completely ignorant.

        “You can do this but not that?! What about this or that?” It really put the absurdity on display.
