Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 02/12/2013 4:31 pm Criminals don't obey the law. If a new law is introduced they won't obey that one either. People assume that they would be forced to sell to these law abiding pawn shops. They won't, and surprise, not all of the owners of these upstanding establishments are law abiding citizens. So like many of the upcoming regulations to protect society, this won't work. At all. It will only accomplish the restraining of, and invasion of, our privacy and freedom. I think it would be pretty handy for the Government to know exactly who has the Gold and silver in this country wouldn't it? That way if they ever needed to they could tap that resource like they already did once before. Report this Post to the Staff

If all those other "safe guards" were so effective why do they need to keep adding more? All its doing is building a database of information, its not stopping crime and its not catching criminals. Every large city has pawn shops that dont follow rules they can unload at or sell other ways. The most minimal of effort could avoid all those requirements Report this Post to the Staff

The 10,000 pawn shops in Houston don't require accounts. They don't know you or where you got this stuff from. Just like the banks are required to, the pawn shops are now required to . Isn't this the most minimal effort ? Look, nobody is a bigger " panty wearing liberal " than me. Never been fingerprinted in my life , my fingerprints are not on file anywhere. And I am not about to give my fingerprints to any pawn shop or cash for gold dealer. Look at the numismatic crime forum. People devastated by the theft of their life's work, others of us lamenting about the inability or inaction by law enforcement to catch these guys and recover people's collections. Now when Houston at least tries to do something to curtail it ............... ? Report this Post to the Staff
