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.
