King, as should be obvious, a country's laws and regs do not remain static. Whether the transaction you and John engaged in was legal in both countries depends entirely on when it was transacted. You conveniently left that salient detail out.

I suppose the Sydney fellow you refer to could quite possibly have an entirely legal gun business based in the US. I don't know what his legal status is in either country.....again, too few details to make a judgement.

Hardly good examples to bolster your premise of the easy movement of firearms between countries. At least that sure seems like what your premise is. Perhaps you might be a little more strIghtforward and desist in non sequiturs for a while.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
