    Would you support the No Fly No Buy List if they added Due Process?

    Yes, those trends are positive, along the lines exbrit49 hopes for. But it seems 'accidental', as barnbwt noted --> something that just happened (to gun enthusiasts' benefit) rather than something we gun enthusiasts did. Rather, these trends were caused by the "Gun Salesman of the Year" 8 years...

    Would you support the No Fly No Buy List if they added Due Process?

    exbrit49 vs barnbwt Is it my imagination, or are all the written responses to the OP's poll from members in the "No" camp? All except exbrit49, I think. All you who voted "Yes", please come back in and post an explanation of your vote! I believe exbrit49 is who he claims to be and not...

    Would you support the No Fly No Buy List if they added Due Process?

    barnbwt, Regarding your answer to exbrit49, I think one point exbrit49 made that you did not address runs something like this: (paraphrasing and reading between exbrit49's lines) Law-abiding gun owners will eventually lose their gun rights because the great mass of all other non-gun-owning...

    Would you support the No Fly No Buy List if they added Due Process?

    due process is not enough I voted "no", because while due process is absolutely needed in case I am accidentally or wrongly added to the no-fly list, that is not enough. THE REAL PROBLEM is that the no-fly list, as it is now, is totally casual. Many different LEOs and garden variety...

    Green Tip and the Overton Window

    Constitution Cowboy, thanks for your post #28. Before we leave the Overton Window and go on to your other excellent points, I want to make clear that, even though I said that the Overton Window is obsolete in my post #20, I do agree with you about the "dynamics" of the Overton Window. The...

    Green Tip and the Overton Window

    OBSOLETE: Overton Window Constitution Cowboy (& All), barnbwt's post got me to thinking and questioning (always dangerous). What exactly is the Overton Window, and who is Overton anyway? Here is the answer, from the source: An Introduction to the Overton Window of Political...

    ethnicity and race on Form 4473

    I noticed this article (Obama administration forcing new gun buyers to declare race, ethnicity) in the Sept. 17, 2014 Washington Times newspaper. These blanks for race and ethnicity on Form 4473 have been on the form for a while (I have seen them & filled them out), but now the feds are...

    Large-scale NFA Trusts for "diffuse" possession of firearms

    "law" in the administrative state Incidentally, my authority for how Congress and law now work is: John Marini, "Budget Battles and the Growth of the Administrative State", Imprimis magazine (Hillsdale College), October 2013 • Volume 42, Number 10.

    Large-scale NFA Trusts for "diffuse" possession of firearms

    @ Arizona_Mike, Thanks for the detailed summary and explanation! When we use the acronym "AOW", that means "Any Other Weapon"? I can't find any other definition on acronymfinder.com, for ex. (I forgot to check THR's own acronym list sticky.) When you say you will ask BATF about some...

    civilian ammuntion must be imported? (in 2014)

    Thanks Tommygunn. In my defense, as a hopefully helpful poster, I did search on THR for other posts on this topic. I missed them for lack of diligence. But I made the token effort. As for any pro-gun peoples' motivations, e.g., bludgeoning Pres. Obama, I can't say. I will say that...

    Large-scale NFA Trusts for "diffuse" possession of firearms

    Thanks, Frank. I will try to follow all the posts you and the others made and see if I understand it all. I am glad I do have a trust lawyer familiar with simple, single-family NFA trusts. I definitely need a lawyer. I fear to ask him about a large-scale, multi-family, multi-state NFA...

    civilian ammuntion must be imported? (in 2014)

    I saw this news blurb in The Washington Times newspaper two days ago: This is from an article Allen West warns Obama’s ‘backdoor gun control is moving forward’. Where would we find authoritative information on this? (Not that former Congressman Allen West is at all unreliable, just that I...

    Large-scale NFA Trusts for "diffuse" possession of firearms

    I am duly amazed and humbled, as OP, that you all went into so much depth and handled all aspects of the issue. Thank you all. Thanks, Frank, for calling me/us back constantly to the legal fundamentals. For ex. This puts importance on the beneficiary. To me, now, the beneficiary is of...

    Large-scale NFA Trusts for "diffuse" possession of firearms

    First, Sam and others, thank you for the correction about my erroneous "Class III" versus the correct "Title II". Second, as I said in my OP, I am only marginally interested in an NFA trust as a way to get access to Title II weapons, such as fully automatic rifles and such. I said that I got...

    Large-scale NFA Trusts for "diffuse" possession of firearms

    PURPOSE: A legal method to make it practically impossible for any government agency to track a particular firearm to its actual physical location, even if the firearm is legally purchased, background-checked and, in some localities, registered. The further purpose is to avoid government...

    Chrome-lined barrel - Why pay for one?

    Bullet sliding friction Less bullet friction = less heat deposited in the barrel. Now, does chrome lining of the bore give less bullet sliding friction? Somewhere I read that or heard it. Can't remember.... :confused: Art the Moderator said earlier: Of course, I agree. The throat...

    Chrome-lined barrel - Why pay for one?

    Thanks Art. You mentioned: For me, who may be less educated, what is the "leade"? I know about the throat of the firing chamber, which centers the bullet in the bore and lines it up to begin the engraving of the rifling grooves onto the flanks of the bullet. Is the leade the same thing or...
