"zealous enforecement"

What does that mean?

hardcore infringement

Now you are just making it worse. :-)

This is OK because I'm sure that for every 100 or so dealers put out of business, the ATF will reduce their police force by 10 or so agents. Soon, no dealers, no ATF agents. What? It doesn't work that way???

I'm pretty sure there is a place in the Constitution for the possession of firearms but I can;t seem to find the section on ATF. The constitution delineates the need for an army, a navy, even a post office but I'm stuck as to where a police force is delineated. Dear Abby, please help.

Buy a few of each... I have one Ar... I am going to buy another this winter.

you can also peruse the "for sale" sections of sites like ar15.com and other such forum sites.

I've always believed that I'd rather face a jury of my peers than my family face a color guard playing Taps.

Is it ok that I tweeked it for you? Because I do agree with it.

No, this is NOT ok. No FFL's means no places to buy guns (with the exception of private sales). The only places that are probably gettingFFL's now are the big box stores (Cabelas, Gander, Bass Pro) that have millions and millions of dollars to fund lawyers to battle for them. The mom and pop gun shops can't keep up with time times. Fees and regulations are driving them out of business. A local guy just went under. The reason was because of all of the hassle and bullsh*t he had to deal with.

This ain't no '67 Chevy, but it's close. I'm selling these.

It's also not ok because once they close the FFL's down, they will just start to come door to door. When a FFL goes out of business, the 4473 forms go to the ATF. We already have a pseudo form of registration- the make, model, and serial # of the guns you buy and put on the back on the 4473 form. Confiscation has happened in several parts of the US... it will happen on a national scale... it's not of, its when.

That was not my point, but I really like your take on it.

What century do you live in? You're still using a .50 cal rifle? Here in TX I have a concealed carry license for a shoulder-fired missile launcher. Get with the program, friend.

Probably includes a few kitchen table dealers.

Joseph J. Vince Jr., former chief of ATF's firearms division

My goodness, another communist traitor and Constitution trashing infiltrator exposed by his "business" connections after government "service". How rare.

Who says Texas isn't progressive?

You couldn't ask for 1 URl, you had to ask for 10... sheesh... hog

[bmwcyle]

You can't cut and paste?

[ExSoldier]

newsflash - Bush is President now...

Exactly. Just imagine how bad it could be with Rudy or McLame in charge.

BATFE doesn't report it's every move to anybody. It's just business as usual. This happens all the time. Ruby Ridge was a routine case until it blew up. Same with Waco.

With Rudy or McLame in the Oval Office, just think of Waco as a dry run.

[JoeSixPack1]

Cut and paste?? You lazy puke! That URL has a link to every gun dealer & manufacturer on the planet.

Go to your room! :-)

Have you had your coffee yet?

Now would be an excellent time. Ammo also. Next year or the year after, you never know.
