Hand in your PM's! Trust us, it's for your own good. What a joke... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C11cXXwUd1A&feature=player_embedded
It wont be long before our nanny/police state institutes the same "laws". And the clueless sheeple will willingly comply and cheer
Well apart from the fingerprinting, selling gold is supposed to be the same as selling any other second hand item to a second hand licensed goods dealer - which means photo ID and your identity recorded, and the goods retained for a period of X days depending on your state in the event of them turning out to be stolen. I've seen the accumulated stockpiled purchases of a kiosk chain before stacked in their "cooling off period" tubs.
