Maggie’s And there goes private transfers...

I can't believe the number of fucking Quislings on this forum. Un-fucking-believable.
At first, I thought you were 'slammin' me and I was about to come unglued. Then I took a breath and looked up the term "Quislings " and learned something today. Thanks for that.

And yes, I completely agree. Thanks. My bad.
 
Good word..... I had to google that one!

Quisling (/ˈkwɪzlɪŋ/; Norwegian pronunciation: [²kvɪslɪŋ]) is a term originating in Norway, which is used in Scandinavian languages and in English for a person who collaborates with an enemy occupying force – or more generally as a synonym for traitor.

The real story of how Quisling = traitor
 
The thing is crimes commited with guns is actually so small and random its virtually impossible to tell if a gun law has any real effect. Which it wont.

In the grand scheme of things. There are 300 million people in this Country. People are going to die from from a variety of things. Some of which are way more prevalent han firarms. Its an illogical fallacy that a law can prevent all or any deaths in any particular way.

They are pretty much all utopian feel good measures based on fear, ignorance and hypothetical worste case scenarios.

Thats why I feel its more of a plot to disarm a future resistance to tyranny than public safety.

One ray of hope for NV is after the legislature ramrodded the background check bill through the very first week (introduced on Tuesday, Gov. signed on Friday) is that all 17 county Sheriffs signed a letter saying they would not enforce the law.
 
I wish they would just start printing a discreet mark on the back of the drivers license of all prohibited persons.
Then, when you want to buy a gun, whether from a dealer or a private citizen, show your DL and off you go. You wouldn’t even need a 4473 but I am sure the dealer would keep a private record of sale for a while for his own purposes anyway.
Because the gov has NEVER wrongly convicted anyone of assault, domestic violence, or stuck them in jail for more than a year. And I suppose in this day and age of pussies instead of men it’s no longer normal to get into fights with your brothers? And if your attacked are you supposed to wait for the police before you fight back to ensure you won’t get a assault and/or battery charge if your doing too good a job defending yourself.. better 100 criminals go free than one innocent man punished..

Or how about a yellow star to be worn on your jacket? Seems to have worked good somewhere before..
 
That’s not yours to trade. You must be in the Austin part of Texas..
Negative.

You are delusional if you ever think we are gonna get pro gun legislation passed anytime in the foreseeable future unless society changes its view on guns and gun culture in general. With more urbanization and less people ever seeing guns much less using or understanding them we are fighting a loosing battle. That part is on each and every one of us. We need to get more people into shooting if we want more rights.

All I'm saying is, at this rate I would be willing to trade private background checks for repeal of nfa and conceal carry anywhere. That's a big gain for us in weapons we can possess that will be damn near impossible to take back once millions of them have been sold to the general public. Even that trade would never happens. Dems would burn into flames before they ever gave us an inch. Especially if it's these evil scary short and completely silent Ar15 fully semiautomatic WMDs. You are never gonna sell suppressors, SBRs, and MGs to the soccer moms of America.

Ideally we trade nothing because it's our damn right, but that's not the current reality.

On the Federal level that may be the case.
So far in Texas thanks to the dedicated hard work of the TSRA we have actually been getting pro gun legislation passed each legislative session.
I'd suggest you consider telling all the gun owners you know in Texas to make sure they are signed up for their membership AND send regular donations to the TSRA PAC fund (MUST send specifically to the TSRA PAC not just the General TSRA, as they are separate funds).

Yes I've noticed that. New stuff just went into effect Sept 1 also. I'm talking on the Federal level. Sadly Texas alone can't legalize SBRs, suppressors, etc. Just ask the guy in Kansas who is in jail for owning a non registered suppressor.
 
Anyone who is an advocate for any type or regulation, control, or tracking is an absolute idiot and an enemy of Freedom and Society.



In what universe is this a good idea?


you are so delusional

people, wake up, shake the sand out of your head

I cut to the chase.
Very well said and explained. But it shouldn't take that much explaining.

Well you know if a bunch of states are getting away just fine with refusing to enforce Federal drug laws and also others are now starting to actively refuse to enforce immigration laws and go even further into protecting those breaking the federal laws.... I don't see why two can't play at that game.

Then the FBI or the ATF would actually have to come find you themselves with no help from the locals and if the locals came across something well state law says mind your business or loose your job...

Not exactly a win, but it would be a great way of sticking it back to the Communists & making them think twice about their own stances.

I realize what your trying to say, but choose to give nothing and prepare for when they try and take em. If we let them take em piece by piece then we will be fighting with black powder muskets. We don’t have to negotiate.. we just have to be ready. Everyone has their line in the sand. We must come together and turn that line in the sand into ramparts ready for defense.

All you need is one sheriff with big enough balls and willing to deputize anyone aligned with the constitution over fed gov.

They tried to take this one all the way to SCOTUS but unshockingly they declined to hear it
 
Some of you just don’t get it.

Yes there are lists.

No, they aren’t a concern right now because they are incomplete and unwieldy.

Yes, if we get a universal background check law it WILL unitive all these lists into one central, COMPLETE list that the gov CAN use to easily track and eventually confiscate guns.

Id rather take my name on a list and be able to get access to currently heavily regulated items, that you already have to be beg for permission to own them.

Line in the sand is the day they step on your property trying to take them back. I'll put my name on the list, and buy em all up. If they ever want to come get them back, well they know where they can come and try.

Not gonna be one of those European sheep when they come knocking at my door.

The atf lists are not unwieldy. They have names, finger prints, current address, and serial numbers of every NFA item you have. They know damn well if you have 3 suppressors and an SBR there is plenty more where those came from. If you ever lawfully purchase and nfa item you have already entered the gauntlet. One more list isn't gon a change a damn thing.

Don't get me wrong I wholeheartedly apposed any list of any kind along with the NFA, but we are dealing with the hand we were dealt by the NRA when they allowed the GCA and NFA to pass.
 
Yeah. I am not talking about NFA stuff. Not many folks on this thread were prior to you bringing it up. And it’s not what the universal background check law is about.

This proposed law means if I want to sell a single shot 22 to my friend, I have to go ask big daddy govt for permission.
Screw that. It’s my property. It’s my right which shall not be infringed.
 
You don't have to ask permission to sell; the buyer has to prove he can own. But, yeah, it sucks.

There aren't any govt "lists" everyone is so afraid of (excluding NFA). More importantly, those capable of coming and taking your stuff never will.

If we really wanted to stick it to Uncle Sam, all the FFL's would burn their piles of 4473's.

That would be totally expected, just like the Feds in the beginning did take the time and effort to go after folks in CA that were following the states laws on pot (even to the point of getting evil corrupt judges to bar the jury from hearing that the accused was actually only selling to an actual state agency).

But once they realized it was ALL on them start to finish with no help and no public support, eventually they kind of gave up for the most part.
 
Provide some examples for those of us not in the know. Please.

I have better things to do with my time, sorry.

All of Ohio's pro gun law changes are in the pages of the Buckeye Firearms Association website if you want to see what has been done here since 2004.

As far as registration and confiscation, Google is your friend.
 
Google....Ah, a credible source.

I’m not concerned with state law. Rest assured, even if ordered to, I’m not coming to OH to kill you and confiscate your guns. That would be un-Constitutional.
 
My state requires FFL transfers, and background checks on every firearm purchase. I don't know about you but those are digital forms at my FFL. They are required to keep those records how long? From what I can tell its 20 years. Those records must be provided to law enforcement upon legal request, correct? How do you find a record from 15 years ago? You'd catalog wouldn't you? I would. How else would you find it? Soooo a computerized database to catalog forms for easy retrieval would be called a list by some wouldn't it??????

Now those forms are transferred to the government for the background check no? you don't think that they have a database maintained to find those digital records? Who you kidding????

Oh and here the FFL is required to send a copy to the state police as well to "notify" them of the purchase. Why else would they have to be notified unless they want to remember those things? And how do you remember thousands of things your notified about????? YOU MAKE A LIST!!!!!!!
 
I know you guys’ mindset, and I’m not going to change it. But, I’m telling you, there is no Federal gun list. NICS doesn’t have the info.

Call me whatever name makes you feel heard. I’m cool with it.
 
No names needed, not trying to fight, I just got to believe that the info is out there.
Like the census, it's out there, there is a lot of info on it, some I can't get to....but a lot I can. Someone else can get to the rest. Just because you cannot get to the info you cannot really believe that it isn't out there do you? Do you truly believe that because you can't get to it, it doesn't exist? It has to!

Now I'm not worried about it, I can't be and live the life I do. But just looking at all the requirements and laws the data exists to support the need and then the existence of the list that you and I cannot get to.
 
LOL, No assumptions, but if you have the access you allude too you must admit no one sees the full show. I've spent some years behind the curtain myself and know no one knows it all. ;)
 
If they want background checks so badly on face to face transfer, why do they not setup a free web based app to allow for voluntary doing of a background check.

I could see many selling firearms to ask for ether that or a CCL.

All y’all people that only want to sell to chl holders.. care to explain to me how one day as a chl holder I can buy instantly, then during a messy divorce while still holding a current chl I have to wait 3 days even though I committed no crime nor even charged with a crime?
Your in for a rude awakening if ya think any more restrictions on gun purchases are going to do any good for any free American. You should do some research into what kind of things the gov calls felonies too. Simple little things like putting the wrong answer on a gov form.. it’s easy to be judgmental about things you know nothing about huh?
