Comment Re:If I work overseas, I still have to pay US taxe (Score 1) 64

It's a holdover from the time when the US had high tax rates on people with high incomes. They wouldn't want some rich SOB moving to some little Caribbean nation and screwing Uncle Sam out of pound of flesh (which is also odd that there are loopholes that do just that if one moves to Puerto Rico - https://www.gq.com/story/how-p... ). What many articles also fail to mention that a nice portion of these "overseas cash hoards" are held in US Treasury Bonds.

In principle, I agree, guns shouldn't be sold to dangerous individuals. But that's far easier to say than actually do. Forcing gun sales off of Facebook, where they can be tracked and logged, means the transactions will be negotiated elsewhere.

like newspaper ads, craigslist, bulletin boards, armslist.com, etc that have been around for years? As long as people meet up in person, there's nothing stopping these transactions. Otherwise, firearms need to be shipped to a Federally licensed dealer who performs the background checks.
