I've read this entire thread. A few of the comments raised this, but I wanted to ask this to make sure. If I have a collection of 10 plus firearms, and need to liquidate them to get some cash and I go to a gun show to sell all 10 firearms and I ask a FFL to run a background check on each of...

It is things like this that are the little chipping away of our rights. No voting or public discussion, and most likely the media will not pick up on this. One day, there will probably be a determination that any behavior they select indicates a decreased mental capacity to take them all away...

What about buying an interest in an existing LGS or pawnshop? Assuming the current owner(s) is interested or is getting to retire, that might be an effective way of getting into and learning about the business without starting from scratch, and you could work on improving things you thought...

Can someone please help. I've been doing some research but am no expert. What is a fair price on a 2007 Colt Single Action Army with 5.5" barrel in 45 Long Colt? The color is case hardened and it is a "custom shop." The condition is 99%. Is 2007 a year with the removable bushing that...

Got my Maxus All Purpose 26" barrel shotgun. The Browning website says it comes with an "XF Turkey Tube." The choke installed in the barrel is labeled "Ex.Full". It is not ported and does not extend past the barrel's muzzle. There are no markings on the choke with its dimensions. Does...

Steel Horse Rider - Since the NICS is open and this thread is now moot, maybe the administrators will close this thread before doghousetom gets up this morning and crows about your reference that he is a know it all! Actually, I wish there were more laypersons like tom on juries since he...

I stand corrected. I did a search and there was a circuit split on whether Bivens actions would extend to private individuals acting under federal law. The SCOTUS resolved the conflict in Minneci v. Pollard, 132 S. Ct. 617 (U.S. 2012) that such a claim would not be recognized because...

Wow - that is just asking for a constitutional challenge, and just think if extended background checks had passed! There would also be Bivens lawsuits filed against FFLs. Yuck!

This seems contradictory. Which is it - can a firearm be transferred after 3 business days, or can the firearm be transferred only if the buyer has a firearms permit exemption?

When I read it, my reaction was, "aren't we all members of our respective state's militia"? The militia that fought in the War of Independence was made up of regular non-military citizens right? It makes sense that the founders wanted those same people to own arms just like they did back in...

Does anyone know how to look up the voting record for HB 436? The Missouri house voted to override Gov. Nixon's veto, but the Senate failed by one vote. http://www.newstribune.com/news/2013/sep/11/missouri-veto-session-set-begin/

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/04/28/joe-manchin-gun-control-fight-not-over/?wprss=rss_homepage Expanding background checks for gun purchases can still happen, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) told “Fox News Sunday.” Manchin said he spoke to Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) at...

I just sent identical emails to both of them (I also send letters which are a bit more structured, but I was just so ticked at seeing Bloomberg this morning). The emails read as follows: Dear Senator Blunt/McCaskill, I just watched Meet the Press this morning and wanted to email both you...

Anyone want a DPMS Semi-Auto Sniper System? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=325518747 Majority of bidders have no feedback and look like newbies ready to overpay. With the media continuing to make news out of this, there are plenty of people with more $ than sense...
