    The only thing they check for is if you have a felony or not, and that’s only actual gun dealers like you’d find at a gun show. Usually takes 10-15 minutes and if you don’t get an immediate “clear” in that 15 minutes they’ll hold the gun for you for 2 days, and after 2 days if the govt has no further reason for the hold you can get your gun. From what I understand if they have no good reason after that 2 day timeframe they HAVE to clear the sale.

    Man to man, private sale of a gun? No checks, have a good day sir, bang bang bang

    This is all anecdotal to my experience buying my 2nd gun after the one given to me at birth by the state of Texas was no good /s





  • They still use air traffic controllers, which is a government paid job if I’m not mistaken. The government would also back them up if their private jet or heli encountered an emergency and had to land due to a failure with the aircraft. The government regulates when and how their private planes have to be inspected and ready to fly. The government provides the water that the employees that gas up and maintain the aircraft use, and the roads that get them there.

    So they may believe they don’t need the government, but it’s a big part of almost everything we do everywhere.

    Similarly, in Battlefield 2, if you played Commander you could zoom in for a pretty good live feed of the battlefield so you could call out soldiers if one of your squads was in a fight. In addition to that you could do a full radar sweep of the full map that would put markers on enemy positions.

    Anytime I did the full sweep and saw one or two soldiers waaaay outside of any fight, I knew they were either another Commander or a camper. So I’d do what they call “Car-tillery”, and call a friendly jeep right on top of their heads. Bonus points if it was windy and you still got the angle right.

    It became such an issue that servers would specifically ban Car-tillery, and if you were caught you’d usually get kicked. Good times, good times
