With all the talk of universal background checks (and the never-mentioned gun registration that would be required to enforce it), I decided it was time to make sure I had some firepower that couldn’t be traced back to me. Yes, that’s right, I decided to exploit the gun show loophole to get me a 1911 [not shown]. My first step was to go take out some cash. Clearly you can’t use credit cards for this sort of thing, so cash is really the only way to go. A couple of trips to the ATM later, I had a cool grand in Benjamins stuffed into my pocket, and I headed for the local gun show . . .
