    Season Four - Episode Two: "Thirty-Eight Snub"
    Episode Overview:
    As a worried Walt buys an unregistered and illegal handgun for protection, Jesse invites his old pals Badger and Skinny Pete to his house. After tempting them both out of rehab with meth, Jesse then encourages the two addicts to help him throw a huge drug and alcohol-fueled party. Meanwhile, despite his apparent glee over his progress at physical therapy, a severely disabled Hank Schrader directs all his frustration at his well-meaning wife, Marie. And in an effort to hide all the money Walt is making and ensure they can still help with Hank’s massive medical bills, Skyler presses her husband to reconsider their lawyer Saul Goodman’s suggestion to buy the car wash.
    After telling his pals to keep the party going even while he’s at work, Jesse returns to the lab where he and Walt have resumed cooking meth for Gus. Though Walt is hoping that their boss will come to see them, if only to give him the opportunity to kill Gus with his new gun, he’s disappointed to learn that Gus is cutting off all direct contact and sending a new sidekick to deal with them in his stead. Meanwhile, after doing some research on her own, Skyler approaches the car wash’s owner - who also happens to be Walt’s former boss - with an offer.
    As Jesse, Badger and Skinny Pete are busy cleaning up after their latest blowout party, an unannounced visit by Jesse’s ex-girlfriend Andrea forces him to come clean about his role in the death of her brother’s killers. Walt tracks down Gus' detective Mike at a local bar to tell him that after what happened with Victor, they could both end up dead if they aren't careful. As Mike responds to Walt’s warnings with a two-fisted attack, Jesse struggles to live with his role in the murder of Gale Boetticher.

It all went downhill because Walt couldn't stand working under someone, especially with Gale around (instead of Jesse) whom he couldn't boss around as easily. Walt's massive ego and paranoia led him into thinking Gus was gonna kill him so he started to desperately look for a chance to kill Gus, constantly interfering with business. That's what ultimately made Gus consider Walt a nuisance he had to get rid of. Jesse said it best, if Gus had planned on killing Walt from the start he would've done it right after he killed Victor.

    The dealer is right though. Tracing a serial number is only good if that number will actually turn something up.
    Private sales are legal, and there is no registry, so unless the gun was reported stolen or already used in a crime, running the numbers won't turn anything up.
    The best they could do is trace the gun to the original buyer, which isn't as straightforward as it might seem. They'd have to contact the manufacturer to find which distributor it went to, then contact the distributor to see which FFL it went to, then get the FFL to pull the 4473 on the sale, but that only turns up the original buyer. They would then have to contact the buyer and see if they still have the gun. They may have sold it, perfectly legally and without paperwork, in a private sale. At that point, who knows where the gun ended up.
    The only reason to get a defaced gun in a place like New Mexico is because you're Walt White and you're just as stupid as you are genius.

    That's part of the reason why I liked this show so much. On the surface, I wouldn't think a person dealing in illegal weapons would speak with such a level of eloquence that it would suggest he has a higher level of education ...without any pause or manurisms...almost like he's sharing a prepared speech. However, considering the level at which Walt is operating his business at this point in the series, it makes sense that Saul would put him on touch with someone who has been dealing guns for many years without getting caught. He couldn't possibly be that successful at it by being stupid...which explains his speaking ability!! Exact opposite of the guy who sold the bullet proof vests to the twins!!

    I was thinking “Why would an illegal gun dealer ask a paying customer what the customer is going to use the gun for?” My theory: the gun dealer is on the older side, and he has seen it all. He cares less about the money than he used to, and more about the harm he may be facilitating.
    I like how this scene forces Walt to really think about what he is doing. I’m sure Walt thought it was for defense, but Walt has put himself in a situation where using a legal gun to defend himself isn’t an option because the only likely reason he needs to defend himself is due to his criminal activities.
    I suppose I would have said to Lawson(?) that the people he might have to defend himself against would retaliate brutally if they ever knew it was him.

That was less for self defense but for trying to get Jesse as his partner back. Defending his ego I guess
