Stay Safe SLB...
yeah what you said
As long as you pay the tax.
seen this?
"assault-rifle" is a valid term with a strict denotation: light shoulder-arm, intermediate caliber, select-fire mechanism
"assault-weapon" is pure BS, loosely translates as: black, ugly, scary semi-automatic weapon easily demonized for furthering hoplophobic agenda
a good Norinco SKS is quite accurate within its useful range of 600meters
Their real objective is to outlaw all private sales of firearms, not just at gun shows. They want all transfers (even family member to family member) to only be thru licensed dealers, who will dutifully record all the info and forward it to the feds
Makes confiscation at a later date much easier
North and West of Mojave is the place to blow off rounds in the desert. Don't venture east. The Air Force creates big holes there. Somebody told me those holes became swimming pools for birds and snakes recently. I don't know how things live with all that carbonate and hydroxide there.
...and most importantly have the government paperwork in hand showing you paid the tax which of course finally makes your silencer legal. Until that time, don't touch and don't possess.
Absolutely! Afterward, the 'paperwork' stays safe in the gun safe. A copy of said paperwork goes out with the weapon when it goes to the gun range...:-)
Oh no! AK-47. SKS. Machine guns! Hey, she forgot the lovely AR-15. Too bad she has no clue what she's talking about. Since when have criminals desired to carry around small-bore rifles at least 32" long and typically weighing 7-10 pounds? Not exactly easy guns for criminals to conceal. Seems to me that criminals are much more fond of cheap, decades-old revolvers or really low-budget semi-auto pistols that can bought on the street for next to nothing instead of buying $1000 rifles at a gun show. If by machine gun, she means a fully-automatic rifle, then even if the criminal somehow got through all the paperwork, fingerprinting, and background checks first, something tells me the criminal would not have the $25K - $50K asking price.

Still, some gun-rights advocates complain that federal law enforcement agencies are too aggressive. Last month, they persuaded a congressional subcommittee to hold hearings on the way the ATF investigated gun shows in Richmond, Va.
SO this is how the Media are laying the battle out nowadays. "Gun safety advocates" are actually gun ban advocates, while gun owners, who actually advocate gun safety are called gun rights advocates, which "nuances" out to mean that if you are in favor of "gun rights" you are opposed to "gun safety" as advocated by the GUN BANNERS. Rank royally rotten anal drippings.
Do people nowadays have trouble understanding English because of the media, or does the media have trouble understanding the language? This obfustication is purely intentional.
Yet you never hear of "automotive safety advocates" advocating banning autos. Well, anything that isn't fun, anyway.
OMG!!! It has a sniper bayonet on the end!! Able to kill humans at a distance of over 1000 mm!! Who needs to kill people at this distance?!?!?!
LOL!!
Well then, it's a Class III, ain't it, and nobody is just going to walk in off the street and buy it without some serious paperwork. Unless the columnist is an ignorant, biased twit and is in fact referring to any of several semi-auto versions of the AK action.
SKS sniper rifles.
An SKS sniper rifle? Please. Oh wait, the intent was to classify anything resembling a rifle as a "sniper weapon" for the purpose of demonization. Gotcha.
Armor-piercing bullets. Piercing what kind of armor? Any rifle ammo off the shelf will pierce body armor, and I've yet to see any DU rounds for sale for taking out Bradleys. Again, an obvious attempt at demonization and simultaneous display of wretched ignorance.
The dumbest incident I heard of was a guy who was looking a a .22 pistol. Since it was a rimfire and he didn't want to damage the gun by dryfiring it, he somehow got it into his head that the proper course of action was to chamber a live round into it and fire it at the floor -- right in the middle of the busy gun show.
Needless to say, his willingness to go the extra mile to preserve the firing pin for future generations was not greatly appreciated by the dealer, the patrons, or the uniformed officers providing security for the event.
