Title: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: strunberg on March 14, 2013, 08:31:38 PM While I was cleaning my Mosin Nagant an idea struck me.
I remembered how people bought guns on-line without the government knowing with Bitcoin What if there was a crypto currency that was for websites such a Gunbroker?

Title: Re: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: Zithras on March 14, 2013, 10:41:17 PM In theory, you could buy anything you want with bitcoins, including guns, if you could find someone to accept them and sell you them...why do you need to make a new currency, and how could you possibly enforce that it would only be used for buying guns (and why would you want to limit it so specifically?)...

I have nothing relevant to contribute to the actual topic of this thread but thought I'll give you something QI.

Post by: BitcoinINV on March 14, 2013, 11:58:15 PM What caliber is the coin? Jk um atlantis is has a weapons section I think.
I do not condone buying guns this way though, I think everyone deserves the right to bear arms. But some people do not need access to a gun, nor do they need to have a hidden gun stash. Title: Re: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: Mike Christ on March 15, 2013, 12:00:11 AM I misread this as gumcoin...
The coin you want to chew :P Title: Re: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: j26545 on March 15, 2013, 06:51:18 AM If they are already doing what the OP suggests with bitcoin whey do they need guncoin. We just need more people to accept bitcoin.

Title: Re: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: herzmeister on March 15, 2013, 09:41:49 AM After the zombie apocalypse, guns will be currency. they're not very divisible and fungible Title: Re: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: johnniewalker on March 19, 2013, 02:21:10 AM Pretty sure they sell guns on Black Market Reloaded
Title: Re: Your thoughts on a Gun coin? Post by: infebious on March 19, 2013, 04:34:09 AM I don't really think this would work. My good friend is a gunsmith and FFL dealer. If you want to buy a gun without the government knowing you should just pay cash for one from a private seller (go somewhere like armslist.com).
If you want to have a gun purchased and shipped within the USA (like on gunbroker.com) then it has to ship from and to a registered FFL holder who has to complete an FBI background check and keep records of the sale, so although your financial transaction was discrete the government would still have record of your purchase.... ...unless you just were doing it illegally, in which case you would probably just use BTC on SR as others have mentioned. |
