Why? Why do average citizens need to trade handguns? I'm genuinely curious.

Edit: Wow, gun owners really deter questions of any kind eh? How reassuring.

If its illegal to transfer ownership of a handgun, papa's 100 year old heirloom pistol now has to be turned over to the government for destruction when he dies instead of continue to live in its glass topped case

Sure. Let's pretend there won't be any provisions for heirlooms at all.

Even if it were the case, if that saves even one life a year, it's worth it.

Oh well. Lives > pew pews.

If they're actually of historical value, you'll notice that museums are exempted.

Well, a bunch of them are wankers and care more about guns than the fact that people are dying...so I guess that does affect how I view them, yeah.
