I have heard guys on this site put down Mass for making us get FIDs in order to by ammo and any Gun.
I was talking to a local Gun shop the other day and he brought up an interesting point. Since the Bradey bill he has only had 3 yes ONLY 3 denials in the last three YEARS. So he didn't really see the point of the bill.
He then went to a gun dealers meeting in Nevada and there was a Las Vegas gun dealer cursing out the Bradey bill he had a denial rate of 40%!!!
So it dawned on me that all these States bragging about not needing an FID to buy a rifle are living a lie. I can go in, show my FID and walk out with a gun. Many other States have waiting periods.
So the bottom line is that no FIDs is simply a false sense of security since you have to pass nics anyway. If you couldn't get an FID in Mass you could buy a gun even if you lived in another States because you would fail NICs.
***This is just an observation on my part and has nothing to do with believing in either NICs or FIDS****
