It continues to baffle me how this is relevant to the public interest How about a map of all people who have had their drivers license suspended yet own a car with registered plates. Or vice Versa

[quote name='Moped' timestamp='1356360545' post='867686']Pretty draconian stuff, but I am not shocked. I could see this as a outline of new national gun control legislation. I don't think this would be approved out of Washington in it's entirety, though.[/quote] This is their strategy a throw everything at the wall and then "compromise" it down to something that's still egregious.

Clearly We need to ban fire. If it wasn't for the blaze the firemen would never have been in danger

[quote name='drv2fst' timestamp='1356311317' post='867382']Gouging has its place in economics and is actually necessary to preserve supply for those that need those products the most. The only effective way to reduce the impact of gouging is finding more supply. Vendors that increases prices when there is a (hopefully) short term problem are only reacting to increased demand and are in no way in the wrong for doing so.[/quote] Finally someone with actual understanding of economics! High prices in response to shortages are crucial to create new sellers to Enter the market - if demand was high and prices stayed low, what incentive woul there be for sellers to create additional inventory to meet demand. Like it or not, price increases during shortages are good.

You're looking at next summer

Hope you made up your mind before last Friday

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1356230713' post='866633']Not without the law to readdress it. Wasn't that $200 amount in the original law, supposedly to make it so expensive to buy them?[/quote] Exactly why I think it will go up with any new legislation. NFA is a pretty small niche in the gun community, and I bet it will be pretty difficult politically to fight a tax on Machineguns. It's an easy symbolic win for the antis so they can think they "did something" If you want an NFA item now is the time To submit. I can only imagine we'll be looking at a 9-12 month backlog very soon.

[quote name='brianhaas' timestamp='1356235405' post='866728']Had a blast today at Charlie Haffner's place. Charlie was awesome and incredibly friendly and welcoming to myself and our photographer. And even more thanks to Bill Smith, who braved not only having his photo taken, but also print and video interviews. He did fantastic. As for me... well, we were only shooting at the 25-yard target since it was my first time with the AR. Fortunately, I didn't have any trouble hitting the target. Here's me not quite getting the hang of how to properly grip the gun yet. It was a beautiful gun. I was surprised at how little kick there was versus how loud and how concussive it was. Great day, great people, great way to kick off my holiday vacation. I'm off until January, when I'll probably be back reaching out to more folks to help flesh my story out. Hope everyone has a great holiday![/quote] Glad you enjoyed your shooting experience. Hooefully you can convey the fun of plinking and the near universal generosity of gun enthusiasts towards newbies. PS: lean into the shot

I Expect the Nfa tax to go up

[quote name='LRJETCAP' timestamp='1356215365' post='866411']Just left Walmart off Nolensville Rd (Nashville) around 2pm, plenty of .40/9mm/.357. Big surprise, no .223. Went to Nashville Armory first to give them the business and was promptly turned around. They are refusing to sell ANY ammo unless you use one of their lanes for practice. Not so sure how I feel about that.[/quote] I totally understand. Without ammo for the range users they would have even more upset customers. The lanes are a big part of their business plan - they're already sold out of ARs and aks.

Just another alynsky move by Obama to create distractions and chaos among his political opponents. Overwhelm the system

[quote name='RichardR' timestamp='1356151440' post='865944']Bleh, why is everything I try to quote coming out all garbled?[/quote] Been hitting the bottle? Hope you don't get stopped at a checkpoint !

Peltor combat arms earplugs.

I say sell now those things you can likely buy more of later. Mags will continue to be produced and the retail channel is waiting to be restocked. Magpul and others are still legal and will be working 3 shifts to crank them out as fast as they can. Congress is out until next year at this point. I don't see a sudden rush unless obama and Reid force the issue by tagging a ban onto the fiscal cliff resolution. Another reason there should be a prohibition from omnibus bills!

Great speech. Not sure why they let those protestors to stand there as long as they did. Seemed like an eternity to me. And of course the lame stream media gives equal time to the code pink Wackos in their coverage.

Id say the moron was successful

You are the owner. And then you give the gift at some point in the future. A straw purchase is when someone ASKS you to buy a gun on their behalf so they can avoid the bc. Seems the same but it is different.

Brian - if no one hooks up with you you could go the the nashville armory. I beleive they rent ARs In also would suggest that your statement that ar15a are the "gun of choice" of lunatics implies a lot more than the facts support. If you were to say that these two murderers used them That would be fine, but in the Mall Shooting the rifle was stolen and not much has been revealed as to how the theft occurred - and the aurora shooter had 3 guns - an ar14, shotgun and pistol. His AR jammed because he used a tacticool 100 end drum which are notorious for poor reliability. In fact there is still quite a bit of confusion over exactly what firearms were used in the CT shooing, and recent news reports are now indicating that an AR might not even have been used at all. ARs are popular for many reasons. They are light weight vs traditional wood stocked rifles, infinitely customizable for calibers, accessories and looks. It's a design that's over 40 years old - people forget that often. The military is now conducting trials of much more lethal and "smart" guns. Progress continues in the field of firearms. Semi Automatic guns are 20th century technology. High cap Mags, pistol grips, bayonet lugs - all cosmetic things which were banned in the last AWB play no meaningful part in crime in this country. The FBI stats and other sources of research such as John Lotts work more guns less crime prove it. I'd be happy to speak with you if you would like pm me. I just won't have time to make it to the range

Where oh where did you score that deal? Nice!

You're right - we need an outright sock ban. They're too dangerous. Everyone should just wear flip flops. Only the police or military can be trusted with socks.

I also forgot to mention that most of the "mass shootings" in recent memory have been with handguns. Jarrod laugher, Major Hasan, etc etc. The nutjob who shot up the US Holocaust museum used - wait for it - a 22 rifle. Is be happy to make a list if you would like.

Brian - I would ask that you challenge your assumption that the lunatics gravitate towards the ar15. The reality is that most gun deaths in the USA are From a hangun and geneally the lowly 22. Rifles are used in homicide less than knives or hands. In TN last year more people were BEATEN to death than shot with a rifle. While a mass shooting is certainly disturbing. It is quite a rare event as compared to daily shootings that happen very day in our country. I would respectfully ask you position this in your story as scary looking guna are not the problem as much as people would like to think so.

They're telling the truth. They're only worried about "their" guns. Not yours

Just ordered a crapload of 5.45x39 from grafs using my c&r discount! My ups lady is going to hate me.
