As others have said, if "it" goes federal, there will be no where to go! Most of you evidently aren't old enough to know or understand what we've already lost. For those of us in our 60's, 70's and 80's, the trajectory is clear and it's not good for gun ownership. For many of us in this older age cohort, the only real question is wheather "it" will happen in our lifetime or simply a few years after we've died. If you're not old enough to know what the world of firearms was like before 1968, find someone who is and ask them about it. Maybe even spend a little money and buy a copy of Amerian Rifleman or another gun publication and actually see what it was like then and what has been lost. Better yet, buy a gun magazine from the late 1940s, another from the 1950s, another from the 1960s (before 1968) and then compare them to a recent publication. The differences and similarites will be interesting but they should also be alarming. For me, at least, one of the most interesting but less obvious differences is geographical. Yea, the advertisements are interesting, but even more interesting are the addresses of the advertisers. From the 1940s to the late 1960s, there are major firearms businesses in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York as well as states such New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Anyone think you'd be successful getting the permits not to mention the financial support to start a gun related business in any of those places today? I can remember going with my father to purchase firearms in places like Alexandria, Virginia, and watching as Roy Weatherby spoke with him about a building a custom .270 Weatherby Magnum. As a company, Weatherby's recently saw the light left the Republik of Comiefornia. With the responses that I've seen in this thread, there is no reason to believe the trend of the last 60 years will abate. The only question is how long will companies like Weatherby's be able to hold out in places like Wyoming.
