When I worked at a big box store selling guns, we would not take payment (or even ring up the firearm) until we got the NICS OK. But, that's just how we did it. For one, it saved us from having to do a troublesome refund if the sale was denied. Not sure if it is law. I'd assume as long as we...

My good friend from another state recently posted a response on my FB page that stated, "Civilians should not be alowed to have assault weapons. They do more harm than good in society." I was shocked. I calmly explained to him many points that have been discussed on this board, but the main...

I owned and shot a 1914 Savage Model 1899 takedown levergun in 22 high power(5.6x52R euro designation). 70gr bullet at around 3000fps. Neat gun but I sold it when I discovered it ws keyholing at 25yds and had excessive headspace. Ammo was too expensive anyway.

Wal-mart can't specifically order ammo. They have a list of what they stock, which is changed sometimes. If the supplier has the ammo and WM's computers say they need stock, it is sent.

I do believe though, that a person should be able to just buy a firearm without any BC whatsoever. For me it's all or nothin. I believe many if not all of our firearms laws are unconstitutional.

At the Big box store I worked at, we sold a lot of firearms. The employees are trained for situations like this, and told NOT to make the sale. If the employee went through with that transaction, and management found out, he would most likely be fired. I'd probably wait to see what happened, and...

Remington 870s are procured by federal agencies. I guess that means one of the most popular hunting shotguns isn't suitable for hunting.

My Wal-Mart sold XM855, which I believe is military overrun that Federal sells to the public. It will certainly shoot through 3/8" mild steel. Not sure on the rocket launchers though.

What makes you guys think they are only after ARs? Semi-automatic bans. Also, they consider many other guns "assault weapons". I have a Mini-14 with a folding stock, fore-grip, etc. Considered an evil AW. Yeah, it would suck if they banned them. It doesn't matter if they confiscate or not. We'd...

Taking an anti shooting is not guaranteed to change anything. While working at Wal-Mart I took many fellow-employees shooting in the Utah mountains. None were anti-gun. One who went with me a few times became a good friend. Last week he posted on my Facebook, "Civilians don't need assault...

In 2010 I took a bus(yeah it sucked) through Grand Junction, Colorado, otherwise known as Mexico.

I'm not sure if King does know about guns and changes details on purpose, or not. I do know he doesn't know s**t about cars. I read a short story of his called "The Road Virus Heads North"(if I recall correctly). He describes a car that is obviously a Trans Am as a Grand Am. He also describes...

Manco, I recall hearing many times in high school that we were a democracy. From teachers and students. Like some have suggested, schools are brainwashing young minds to obey our government without question.
