I have recently purchased a Remington 870 tactical shotgun (under barrel 500 lumen light) and a Glock 30 .45 caliber which I sometimes carry concealed and sometimes carry openly. I'll add that to the AR-15, the Remington 700 (.308) with the Leopold 10X scope, the Colt Double-Eagle, and the three other shotguns that I have. The issue that I have is that I am paying $45 for 20 .45 ACP rounds. THAT is obscene!!
I have said a thousand times that when Clinton passed the last law against large magazines, small metal shops all over the area went into overdrive either making large capacity magazines or converting the smaller ones. They are now loading ammo as well. The best customers? ATF, FBI, Federal Marshals, state and local law enforcement.
My question is: Was Clinton and now Obama secretly getting donations from gun/ammo manufacturers? Everytime they do this, the amateurs drive the prices through the roof.
By the way, the world's largest gun show is in Tulsa this weekend (Wannamacher's). See you there.
you need to start reloading. it will cut your costs greatly
Books are not guns.
But owning either is a right. And neither can constitutionally require government approval.
Fail. Again.
The Court reaffirmed in DC v. Heller that, yes, in fact, the government can.

You know, I thought of that, but I ranch so time is of a premium. I'm actually considering selling the ranch, so maybe I'll have more time later. Thanks for the advice though. What I do know is that the hand-wringers have ZERO effect on guns/ammo in this area except for prices. I don't care what laws they pass. How's those laws outlawing moonshine working for you? I mean they were so effective.
Nobody's. Stop reminding us how retarded you are and answer the question.
Then I suppose you would have no objections if a full background NICS backgroundcheck was done at the polling place before allowing someone to vote--- that, of course requires a person to have a valid photo ID such as a drivers license?
A person's eligibility to vote should be determined when they register to vote.
If you think that's an apt analogy then I assume you have no objection to keeping a registry of who has purchased a firearm, just as we keep a registry of who has voted.
It doesn't work for you.
Well then, the rights of the minority should certainly be set aside if it be the will of the majority...right?
Pass.
Whose rights are violated if the law requires you to prove you are qualified to buy a gun before you're allowed to buy a gun?
Because it's a viewers poll of MSNBC
Failed "search engine" class didja?
I didn't think I would have to school y'all Republicans on how to use a search engine but I put a small link in the OP for the search engine challenged anyway.
As far as the methodology is concerned, it's in the link also but since Republicans probably can't find it either... How the Survey was Conducted
Far be it from me to call anyone stupid but when Republicans aren't smart enough to defend their own ideology, the typical Republican response is to go all - ad hominem on the messenger. Rightwingers are a strange, predictable lot.
.
A request for a link is not outrageous nor is it because we can't google oh snotty one. USMB rules require that you link.

Actually it does. So I ask you again, would you be happy with such a system for gun purchases?
Columbine? That was in the middle of Clinton's assault weapons ban..
The NRA is proposing we put bullets and the guns that shoot them in our schools -- you know, like Columbine's armed guards -- you know, like Virginia Tech's police force -- you know, like Ft Hood's armed police -- you know, like several of the audience members at the Gabby Giffords shooting but-----but you have to wonder how does the NRA propose to know whether or not the armed school guards are not themselves likely to be "bad guys" -- you know, like the "Hillside Strangler" who was a paid guard when he started his killing spree.
Irony of ironies, to ensure schools aren't hiring "bad guys", the NRA is proposing background checks, testing, screening and training -- whoda thunk the NRA would expropriate the Brady Bill's position?

What a selective memory you lefties have. Let me remind you of somwething you are fond of saying:
We are a nation of laws and not a nation of mob rule.
Then I suppose you would have no objections if a full background NICS backgroundcheck was done at the polling place before allowing someone to vote--- that, of course requires a person to have a valid photo ID such as a drivers license?

Um.....not a very good analogy.
Between gun ownership and voting, only one of these is listed in our Bill of Rights.

You seem to think it's a bad idea to keep our schools from being easy targets. Why?

So did Bill Clinton, with one difference...he ACTUALLY put armed guards in public schools. LOTS of them.
Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for COPS in School, a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.
Were you equally outraged then???
But regardless of that fact that the NRA proposal mirrors Clinton's actions, tell us, how would you proposed to stop a lunatic killing kids in a school? Tell the shooter he's in a gun free zone and therefore must cease and desist?

I think responding to school shootings at all is silly.
The miniscule number of shootings makes virtually any response overkill. Of course mothers do not like to hear this, but kids are vastly more likely to get killed on the ride to school than in a school shooting.
Gun laws should be based on the merits of the laws themselves. I have no problem with background checks. Couldn't care less if people like it or not. I have no problem with registering guns. I have no problem with a law mandating gun locks.
But banning guns is a waste of time. It won't solve much of anything and will have a negligible affect on crime.
But both sides of the issue are insane. Gun control people are thinking with their emotions when they start talking about bans, as are those on the pro gun side who thinks any person in the country, regardless of background, should be able to walk into any gun store and walk out with a gun.
