What do you mean? Federal law says it's ok as long as both states say it's ok. California DOJ says it's not ok with them, but I can't find any such law to actually back it up.

Federally speaking, it is legal to buy any long gun, in any state from an FFL so long as you do so in person and that you comply with both the laws of your home state and the state that you're physically buying from. California says they don't allow buying rifles out of state, but besides...

Does anybody know of any law which would stop a California resident from buying a rifle or shotgun out of state? That is the California DOJ position, but there is no law to my knowledge to support it. When I called them on the phone, they said it was Federally illegal. When I quickly quoted...

According to 18 USC Sec. 922(b)(3): It shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to sell or deliver any firearm to any person who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a...

Of course. We are only talking about Federal laws. The Stewart case is not based on 2nd Amendment issues. This is definitely not a 2nd Amendment case. The law is being challenged on constitutional grounds that Congress does not have the power to ban machine guns under the commerce clause of...

That's what makes it a Circuit Court. Things like that are rare, but happen. Usually when one circuit court rules, it's so obvious, that it doesn't get challenged elsewhere, but that is not automatic. One perfect example is how the 9th Circuit Court explicitly ruled that the 2nd Amendment...

I've done quite a lot of research on this since I started this thread, and here is the answer to your question: What the 9th Circuit Court actually ruled was that 922(o) is an invalid law, not only homemade machine guns are legal, but all machine guns are legal, given NFA registration/tax...

Don't worry about it. I was able to resolve it on AR-15.com. For those interested: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=14&t=231309

You can go here to read about it: www.guncite.com/journals/hardfopa.html If you actually read the entire thing, which will take some time, it will be quite an eye opener. :what: I'm still looking for somebody to give me some insight into this.

The 1986 "ban" on machine gun manufacturing was added to the "Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986" seconds before the bill was voted on, following nearly 7 years of debate. It was added so late to the bill, with no written record of approval, that there wasn't even any time to debate it...

Mr. Stewart has been in prison for nearly 3 years. Therefore a reversal of 5 of the 6 of his convictions would surely have an effect on his 5 year prison sentence. For example, if somebody is commited for a murder and a DUI at the same time, and later the murder is overturned, he won't be...

So when is the Raich case expected to be heard? It doesn't sound like the Stewart case will be heard until after summer then, at the soonest. Is there no time limitation for the court to rule whether or not they will hear the case? And what's Mr. Stewart's fate in all this? Is he still in...

In 2003 the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to strike down the federal law illegalizing the home making of machine guns, on grounds that the federal government's ban on homemade machineguns is abusive of the government's authority to regulate interstate commerce. The US challenged...

According to that NRA list, these common companies also support gun control: 1. Ben and Jerry's 2. Blue Cross/Blue Shield 3. Hallmark 4. Levi Jeans 5. Southwest Bell 6. Sprint communications 7. Time Warner 8. Bell Atlantic So I guess you would need to boycott all those too. What I'm...
