I have had a few different rifles for a while, M-1A, AR-15, etc. All post-ban type guns, because I bought them before 2004.
So, I went to get a new DPMS AR, and they asked me for proff of citizenship! What the hell is that? Mind you, I was born in NY, and am active duty in VA, where I buy guns all the damn time, so what's special about ARs?
I drove home, got my passport, and went back and gave it to them. I was delayed. (Always delayed, of course, since people with very high security clearances are obviously criminals, right?) Anyway, got the approval after dinner, and shot a few hundred rounds of .223, and went about the rest of my night cleaning and reassembling this terrific little gun.
Tell, me, was this gun-shop paranoia, or is this a real rule now?
