Oh Shoot

The crime occurs at the TN state line, as you many not bring any firearm acquired in another state back into the state of your own residence, except for rifles and shotguns transferred through FFL in the other state. There is no exception in the federal code for same state residents doing personal transaction in a different state from their own. - OS

You realize the serial number is not transmitted to NICS, right? Feds don't run stolen gun check during background check. But it's there so that the gun can be traced to a certain extent at least down the road if necessary. TICS however, does run the serial number during the check. Take that up with our GOP super majority state legislature. It's fine with the feds. But of course the FBI doesn't get ten clams a pop, like the TBI does. - OS

Not the law, just changing interpretation of what constitutes "approved training course". Used to accept permits from a bunch of states regarding this, then none, now apparently NM, OK, and TX. - OS

Florida a prime example of successful Republican gerrymandering over the last 20 years. That has been somewhat reformed in the last couple. Remember, overall Florida went with BHO. Twice. And Nelson has been elected three times. - OS

Why have they never filed one in all the years since handgun sales became limited to 21 year olds? - OS

All the NG in the US would only add up to about 3 per school. - OS

There are about 130,000 elementary and high schools in the US, so this would take about a third of of NG total force presently, assuming you mean just one guy per school. Since the vast majority of the NG hold down normal day to day jobs, it would be quite the trick to be able to "mobilize" them on some sort of an ongoing staggered basis from now on. - OS

So is Rick Scott. All firearms, in fact. - OS

Just to cover all the facets of the man, let's not forget about the disparaging statements about Jews with Nixon in White House, and his denial saying them, which of course was proven to be a lie years later when the tapes were released. Also, I was among the protesters at the Graham/Nixon/Neyand Stadium fiasco in 1970. Use of state university property for religion, and then mix into the religion the political stumping to boot, all at the height of the Vietnam protests, whole thing was shameless. https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/tennessee/2018/02/21/protests-and-progress-nixon-visit-put-knoxville-national-stage/358244002/ Few of our heroes have feet totally devoid of clay. - OS

Ban on bump stocks is an admission that it is indeed "the gun" that is the problem. The left will simply use this as logical admission from that right that guns which fire "fast" should be banned. - OS

Generally, WAAAAYYY less.d Depending on exactly what you have, likely worth the small investment to become benefactor here so can sell through TGO. - OS

Well, if you want to take that to logical extension, the 18 year old's behavior is not prohibited by that clause, only the dealer's. edit: but as mentioned in posts below (I missed it), you're quoting section (b), not (g) as the TN statute says. - OS

Pretty nifty, review sounds like it really is an improvement, not just a gimmick. If I carried a J Frame, I do believe I might get one: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/12/14/review-lyman-guardiangrip-pachmayr/ - OS

He was just mentioning existing law, employees can carry on public college property if they jump through certain hoops, the college can't ban it. Can also carry on private college property IF the school allows and implements a policy. They can also carry on private K-12 schools IF the school allows and implements a policy. But same for public K-12 schools not allowed under any circumstance. - OS

There is no voter ID required in about a third of the US (17 states). - OS

That was really my main point. But so many deny it. As far as the school situation, I can't think of a one (except the almost 100 year old bombing I mentioned) that would have happened if the perps couldn't get their hands on existing legally obtained firearms. Your other points regarding authoritarian state I echoed myself. Well, I was, it being the actual subject of thread and all. - OS

A hackneyed talking point, but in all history of America, only know of one successful mass murder in a school that wasn't from firearms and that was a bombing back in the 20's in Michigan, which didn't even match most yearly totals these days. Takes learned skill and nerve to do bombs. Anybody can create mayhem against unarmed kids with an AR. - OS

Well, at least that would require expertise and dedication, not just a wacko who's gone to the range a time or two with his AR, if even that. - OS

Well, there was that 10 year Assault Weapon Ban thang, ya know. The "inconvenient truth" is that of course the number of mass shooting casualties would fall if all semi-auto weapons were banned from ownership with no grandfathering. If the average person can't get one, well, duh... It would of course take a while, indeed a whole generation or more to ferret all of them out, but by some point, nobody would be running into a school with an AR or AK. Because you couldn't take Daddy's from the safe, or go out and buy one a week or month or year before you used it (many if not most of the mass shootings from the younger crowd, the gun was acquired relatively close in time to it's use). Because nobody would be making or selling them, and yes, a whole lotta gun manufacturers would go out of biz. Now, don't shoot the messenger, but all you have to do is look at other countries where semi-auto is banned and/or very tightly controlled. Once heavily armed Australia remains a relatively violent country, but it's one on one crime, no longer mass mayhem. Mass murder by firearm no longer really exists in the UK or much of western Europe. (except by the terrorists let into the country, but that's a different issue). Etc etc. Do, I advocate that? Of course not, as I feel the long term last hope for a free country rests on the populace being adequately armed. But the price is high, and I don't kid myself that any of the proposed half-measures will have much affect, even over time. Hell, investigating "suspected loons" has its own inherent risks to freedom overall too and can set some dangerous precedents. Of course, you can still use revolvers, shotguns, bolt/lever action rifles, knives, axes, bombs, arson, whatever, but none of those methods are nearly as safe or convenient to the perp as wading through a captive audience with an AK or AR, or even a 10/22 for that matter, with hundreds of rounds. And that could effectively be removed from the society eventually, speaking in practical and logical terms only. - OS (not expecting this to be a popular response )

The Commerce Clause has been a moving target over the years. Has also been ruled as merely affecting the overall commerce, regardless of a product being introduced beyond a state line. - OS

It could come to that type of decision I suppose, as 6-10 states would file suit immediately if it were actually passed. - OS

Academy is showing $190 for same gun in black in Nashville stores. https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/savage-stevens-320-12-gauge-pump-action-shotgun - OS - OS

10 clams, best in town. Worth the drive out there from town to me. - OS

Ah, I see. Makes sense. One thing misstated though, a receiver with a buttstock attached is still "other firearm", not a "rifle lower". Of course you couldn't put a short barrel on it of course without a stamp, so that's still a valid point. - OS
