How long before the first person gets busted for breaking i-594?

[Spuddieselwwu]

Any wagers on when the first person will be publicly capped for breaking the law?

I wonder if they'll be running stings this weekend.

I doubt anyone will get busted that wouldn't have been busted before, selling to a felon where the gun was used in a felony (as an example).

This was never about getting criminals. All you need is an angry ex-wife with a cell phone to take pictures and movies with or a pissed fired employee who witnessed a "transfer" in the shop after today. This law will be used and abused in order to disqualify as many people from their 2A rights as possible. The people who wrote this bill did so intentionally in a vague way to snare as many people as possible. The fewer the number of people with gun rights, the closer they are to their goal of an end to personal gun ownership.

  I think it will be the first "gun crime" that happens, with a gun, they can prove was transferred after 12/4/14, without the new process.

I don't think it will happen immediately. There's too much attention to it. They will wait until the scrutiny dies down, and slowly ramp up the enforcement. "Boil the frog".

Some people just have their tinfoil hat on a little tight.  

I doubt there is a line of cops waiting to be the first to make this type of arrest.

I bet there are plenty of cops who don't think average citizens should be able to possess firearms, especially handguns.

Especially the cops in the bigger cities, and I have no doubt they would love nothing more than to be the first to bust someone for selling a gun without going through the background check process.

To bust someone for a misdemeanor?

To bust someone for a misdemeanor?

I know a lot of cops, and not one has even mentioned anything that would indicate they are excited about busting someone for transferring a gun to someone else without a background check.

It's not the cops. It's the people reporting the "crime". We know that anti gunners have already called the police on people who open carry to report false crimes. Once the police have a complaint, they have no choice but to investigate.

Been a cop for 27 years decided to retire and will be leaving this State so I don't become an outlaw by accident.
