I guess they thought that they were gonna be exempt when the crap hit the fan. Turns out that they aren’t prepared when they want to be prepared, and their laws are getting in their own way.

Seems fitting. I got a chuckle, y’all have fun.

he got angry at a 10 minute background check. then he blew a gasket that he had to go back and actually pick up the gun.

i laughed my ass off as well.

up here in the state of RI, we have a 7 day waiting period, which now under this national emergency, the governor extended that to "up to" 30 days.

i am not a panic buyer, of course we see that in the story, that he (and others are).

i do not feel sorry for him, nor anyone else that supported gun controlling laws, and go thru this crap. they voted it in.

now he wants "exceptions"?

BS i say, everyone should go thru the same process

thanks for the laugh.

i'll just bet, these panic buyers that are anti gun, will sop up more handguns, and ammo.

then never use any of it, and the guns will rust.

here i sit, and of late, i have been cleaning my guns weekly, and lightly oiling the barrels.

i am doubtful the panic buyers will take care of these purchases, as much as many of us.

That’s my big concern. The guns will be handled in unsafe manners, not cared for properly, and I almost guarantee that some chucklehead that manages to buy an AR, AK, or other semiauto rifle ends up mad at themselves and taking it to the chopsaw like some of the YouTube goobers who now have an illegal SBR charge due to idiocy of the law. I am hopeful that the “gently used” market will expand in a year or so, but with poor care, lack of maintenance, and improper storage, the guns may be pretty junky by then.

and yes, cleaning and caring for guns is a never-ending labor of love.

The sad part is, nothing will change. They will eventually get their guns, put them in a drawer and probably try to sell them a year or so down the road when things calm down.
Then they will be faced with another set of laws that they don't like.

There are many people that have supported gun control due to the media. You constantly hear liberals talking about how people buy guns on the internet, gun show loopholes, and criminals being able to buy guns.
Now a lot of people are finding out that they have been lied to by the liberals. I think there will be less support for gun control in the coming year.
 
I think the pro-gun side failed to stress that drastic gun control measures adversely applied to everyone, conservative and liberal alike. Gun control was framed as a social issue, pitting conservatives versus liberals. This polarization hurt us, because it alienated some liberals who might have been our friends. Now they're finding out that guns may have their place after all.

He DEMANDED to know "Why can't I take it now? I need it now." He was not happy to hear that it was the LAW. He then explained, "I hate guns and I have supported gun control in the past but this is damned ridiculous. When you need a gun you should be able to get it."

A City commissioner, who has supported 'gun control' in the past but doesn't know the law?

Really? Smells

He needs to be reminded of that when a woman needs one immediately to protect herself from a stalker or mad ex

Knowledge of the actual laws are sort of second nature to the kind of people (us) who hang out on gunners websites. Fact is, there's a heck of a lot of people out there -- liberals, politicians and just plain ol' folk -- who know nothing about actual gun laws ... either by willful ignorance by some or 'cause they simply don't think about 'em by others.
I don't know how many times I ran into people in Illinois who had daddy's (or grandpa's) ol' shotgun or rifle in a closet, basement or whatnot and unaware they were supposed to have an FOID card.
(And, yeah, it did in some cases bum me out to see some bone-dry walnut and/or rust on what once was beautifully blued steel.)
Personally, having moved one state east, to Indiana, the experience of buying a gun, getting the NICS check and leaving with the gun was like, "Wow!" Was intellectually aware that was the case, but the first time, I did get an actual sense or feeling of the difference between living in a state controlled by antis in the legislature and living in a gun-neutral or gun-positive state. It was tangible.

And expects an exception - "don't you know who I am?"
I spent a little time in law enforcement and saw some of that. Not all politicians mind you, but some who expected and demanded exceptions.

Back in 1965, the State Liquor Commissioner came into a guns tore, asked if they still had the gun he had put on layaway. and examined it.

It was Colt .25 ACP pocket pistol in a worn leather holster.

He produced a piece of paper that said he was licensed to carry concealed.

No one there had never seen such a form.

H was asked to the permit to purchase that was required in those days.

No permit, no sale, very angry man.

He was a most disagreeable fellow indeed.

The store had received a call from the County Police that the man's application had been refused.

Im going to disagree on this point. It has always been made plenty clear that the laws are not selective and there is no favoritism. I think the problem is that too many folks had the “not me” mindset and thought that there was no circumstance that would push them to a point of wanting to own a firearm. I have heard a few say with a tongue-in-cheek attitude something to the tune of “if I ever need one there will be some laying around” but what is being seen now, finally, and with clarity, the police are only in place to keep the peace and keep society stable. There is no guarantee to protect the person, nor are there any guarantees about protecting property that may be vital to life or livelihood. Most laws are written to prevent certain actions, but are only enforceable after the fact. Don’t steal a car... can’t be enforced until somebody has already stolen the car. People now see this and are understanding that a 6-20 minute police response time simply isn’t quick enough for what they may face. It’s not that they didn’t know, it’s that they didn’t care, because they thought “it will never happen here” or “I’m smart enough to avoid those situations”... well it’s happening here, and it’s happening to everybody. Shame on society as a whole for letting so many people be unprepared, and for the lack of true understanding.
 
I was in Los Angles during the 1992 LA riots. And I got to talk to area gun store owners when all the fires were long out, and the bodies buried. Gun stores had long lines as the city around the waiting customers burned. Gun store owners recounted the hissy fits of local anti gun types when they found there was a 15 day waiting period (changed later). It does not matter, after the panic is over, the anti gun types will revert to character.

This is like the guy who runs bald tires when winter hits. He crashes and says I'll never do that again. New car several years later he crashes again because of bad tires.
It's called stupidity.
