That's a BAD thing?

MoJo Dealer gets $800.00 flashed in his face and he/she is gonna sell whatever to whomever!  That don't cook well with me that's for $hit sure!

That damn green crap and then I/we have a nasty on OUR street stirring $hit up with his/her new handgun!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander!?

Either have background checks for ALL or just give guns to ALL and see who can shOOt what with it!  That'd be fun!  "Swine FLu"!  Kill'em!  POW!  Makes a ton of useless sense to me...there are better ways around 'the MAN'!

...it ain't nail, so don't use a hammer!  Better to be Pro-active than paranoid!

OK, HotRock,

Yer gran pappy passes BUT before you get his guns you have to take them to a dealer who will charge you (and record this) to 'transfer' his guns to you.  How ya feel about that?  You buy a gun for your son,, wife , etc BUT NOOOOOO it has to be 'transfered' you cannot give it to them.

Now, what ya think?

Oh, and with Gra pappy's guns YOU have some 'glitch' so the dealer keeps yer guns until you can go through all of the red tape and expense to get it staright.  If he is a nice guy he still has your guns and will complete the sale OR he went out of business and the guns have been sold, OR he is a jerk and sells them anyway OR.............

Could not agree more Deepwater.

This is the law in MA...you cannot purchase a firearm in the state of MA without a MA LTC or FID card if your a resident.  People from border states attend these shows and I don't know how they get around that.  You cannot buy ammunition as a resident without an LTC for handgun and a FID for everything else.  Possesion of ammunition without the proper license is a felony...

Keep letting these idiots pass more laws and the rest of the country will be where I am now...More laws will not change who is doing the killing.

I've tried to attend one show in MA and they required me to check my sidearm at the door.  I decided it wasn't worth the trouble and went back home.  I won't attend another...

I would rather be free in a country that respects the constitution, than have people who govern and make decisions based on fear, emotion, and contempt for the average man.  When you give up your freedoms once, you'll do it again, until you've got nothing to give.  And while some would call it paranoid, it has happened time and time again.  I used to have the same attitude as you, until I realized what I had been doing is giving power to someone who doesn't have my interest at heart.  They will take this victory and move onto another firearms restriction, that's the way the federal government works, its the way and federal government of any country in the world has worked.  And like you said $800 bucks will sell to whoever, do you really think this would stop a criminal from obtaining a weapon, they'll move to the next dealer that'll take that money with no background check.  We live in the real world, criminals don't give up money for laws, that's what make them criminals.  If your laws fixed everything than we would have no drugs or thieves.  I am being proactive, because the problem is your contemptuous D.C. leaders, not guys like me and the other fine folks of this group.  The paranoid ones are your senators that fear so much, they'll sacrifice our freedoms to attempt to prevent crime.  Personally I'd rather contend with the criminals than the corrupt politicians.

I will do it BUT not now.  (I've had err am having tee many martoonies )

Are you and deepwater trying out those openners?

[deepwater]

Ammo,
I live in Peru, and yes I carry legally, but I am very restricted on what I can carry and what ammo I can use. and looking at what is available to me, I can see it's been pushed by the media and too many people watching bad television. Only FMJ no hollow points, at all. I have a card that I must present to the dealer when I buy ammo and they will record - on the card - how much ammo, what cal. and lot number, etc.... but, the good news is that we now have some people pushing the right kind of gun laws for us. before, if you were attacked by a thug with a knife, you could not shoot them. now, they agree that if your life is in danger, you can use your gun to defend yourself no matter what they carry.   the main result with all these restrictions would be very few people carrying guns. and fewer that know they can. if you're clean, you can carry, do the paper work, pass the tests, and give everybody money. it's easy!

With a co-sponsor list that read like a hundred day headache;

DONE!

I'd rather be pro-active now than paranoid more than I already am later.

"I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state. That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union."
Governor Rick Perry of Texas, April 2009

Hotrock comes from a very restrictive state...I mean, c'mon St. Louis is in Missouri so you know there's a bunch of anti-gun at work.  I've got friends that live in Zalma, Branson & Springfield...Hotrock is coming in from a state that is very restrictive and may not understand the freedom's we enjoy.  I mean, c'mon, heck...they have the State Troopers going after Ron Paul supporters.....that oughta' tell you something where he's been getting his info from...I'd give him a bit of a break and try to help him through this slanted education promulgated in his state..

[Pathfinder]

No shrug, hottrockin, no shrug.

That means no more federal gummint powers they do not have a right to, and that means stay the hell out of my personal life. If I want to selll to Joe Schmoe on the street, it is none of their business. None. 10th Amendment wedded to the 2nd - go re-read them.
