From the forum title:

Cover NFA34, GCA68, FOPA86, 1989, 1994 and later bans. Discuss laws concerning concealed carry and home defense.

I think that says it all... Basically, it's to make a more "focused" forum on RKBA issues and legal threats to the Second Amendment. I'm sure that we'll cover the same sort of thing in more general terms in Legal & Political, but this will be more focused on the position in the USA as a whole, the 50 states, and local ordinances. Hope this helps.

I like it. There are always alot of questions dealing with CCW in various states as to the "law" and this forum kinda narrows it down some. I hope it stays...

Yep...

more into the written (and proposed writing) of the various laws, their nuts and bolts and nooks and crannies, and their impacts. This, as opposed to the more political verbiage like "That dumb congress critter's trying it again", etc.

At least that's the way I see it. We'll see as it fleshes out.

Actually, I'd like to see discussion on the intent, versus the written word, in acts like the Patriot Act (and others that were put in force across the past 8 or ten years. There's been some rumblings that Patriot was so big that many, if not most, congresspersons didn't read it through, and that some text was modified, added, deleted, etc. after the enacting process. Now, whether this subject fits here or in Legal/Political (or anywhere else, for that matter), I don't know. We'll see.
