“who is the second person arrested behind the school in black and camo?”

One of those “men who stare at goats?”

20 gauge is a great call! Consider a Ruger 10/22 also.

Insert comment about fun with clothes on...

Charles Martel said: "... group purchases of stripped lower receivers, which don't get counted as completed rifles. "

If you buy a stripped receiver in Kalifornia it most certainly is a "rifle". It is the part which has the serial number and that serial number is traceable through the FFL system.

[Charles Martel]

You misunderstand my use of the word "counted". Yes, the serial numbered part is the BATF-trackable "firearm". The question is, are those receivers listed/tallyed/counted as rifles? No, they're not. For some time now, Form 4473 has had a separate category for stripped receivers because they can be built into either rifles or pistols. The same applies to certain H&K style receivers.

To get closer to an accurate number of ARs, you'd have to find out how many completed rifles AND how many stripped receivers were sold.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

What will really happen under "universal registration" - My buddy Joe comes over, we start talking guns, I mention that I've been wanting to thin out my collection and plan to sell "X", he says he will give me $500 for "X". But he wants the gun now and I want the money now and neither of us wants to fool with all the paperwork. So he pays in cash and I backdate a receipt before "universal registration" just in case we ever get any heat for it.

In other words, the same process as during the previous ban.

Many gun controllers not only do not understand what motivates those who disagree with them, they do not like them, reflexively calling them gun nuts, a reaction as foolish as it is arrogant and bigoted.

I think Pat makes a mistake in trying to characterize or understand these people and their statements in this way.

They are working from a script on a called play. Barky called the play the same day as Newtown, making it hard to believe anything except that he was waiting for the chance to drop the handkerchief.

The called play has nothing to do with reason or even politics, but will be a pure-dimensional Stalinist campaign of demonization, as described by Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago, followed by what the other side hopes will be a crippling blow, followed by mopping-up and defeat in detail of the Liberty interest in this country. Show trials and pogroms later.
