    Secondary proof

    Kinda random but I was just wondering:

    Can homeless people buy guns? When I buy guns they always require the car registration or utility bills which I suppose most homeless people don't have.

    Aren't they legal citizens though? Isn't this kind of unfair?

    Sure, they can buy long guns that are over 50 years old with no waiting period or background check, as long as they can convince the seller that they are not mentally unfit, drug addicts, or convicted felons.
    I hate people that are full of hate.

        Sounds like a class action suit in the making.

        California gun laws appear discriminatory in regards to homeless and disadvantaged people who live in hotels/motels.

          Well you could also use a car registration, or just get a C&R.

            C&R requires an address of business or residence where the collection will be stored. If you're homeless..

              Will someone please pick up the cause of the homeless?

              We've got organizations fighting for left handed, color blind, height challanged, transgender cows but none for our beloved hobos, tramps and homeless.

              How much longer will we stand by idly while this travesty goes unaddressed and these fellow citizens songs go unsung!

                  If homeless people had a gun they would sell it for a 10 dollar rock of crack cocaine.

                    Your stereotyping the homeless person.

                    I seriously doubt that they are all drug addicted bridge trolls.

                      Isn't this basically the same argument that was used for all of the "Saturday Night Specials" gun laws that are bounced around every now and then?

                      People with a diminished earning capacity, -> homeless, low income, etc., need protection also. In fact, living in a cardboard box would prolly mean they'd need more protection as most boxes don't have deadbolts.

                      Maybe we should even give them an exemption for AW's and a ccw. Can't have them mugged for their bottle of Ripple or Boones Farm.


                      ALL BS aside, when did all of this crap come into being. I really can't remember as I've always had 2 kinds of ID and the places I do business with have known me for years.

                        You can't beat those prices. Here I am, like a sucker, paying retail.

                          A lot of the homeless I would guess, don't own cars.

                            Handgun test only comes in English and Spanish. If you don't speak/write either you'd have no way to pass the test. Also unfair.

                              That's just not fair for our Chinese American communities in Monterey Park and San Francisco or the Vietnamese American community in Orange County. Especially since 1% of the US population is of Chinese ancestry. Now that I think about it, doesn't the DMV have booklets in Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.?
