Guncrazy223: Instead of paying fifty bucks every trip, just get a Restricted Firearm Possession and Acquisition license, which allows foreigners to purchase and possess nonrestricted and restricted firearms and ammunition. Valid for five years. Then buy guns up here using your real dollars & keep 'em up here in a storage unit or with a buddy. I would certanly never suggest storing them in a sealed container in a hole in the ground - that would be illegal, though cheap and effective. There are some interesting deals to be had up here - M1 Garands are cheaper, for instance. You can also purchase guns and accessories here that are not legal in the Land of the Free - shorty ARs for instance, and cheap brand new 10/22 hicaps. Folding stocks. And so on.
The politicians who enact these laws aren't idiots despite their obvious disregard for the facts and our rights.
Many politicians these days seem to crave power - getting reelected - more than anything else. They know roughly how many votes applying new firearm regulations will lose them. So far this hasn't cost them an election, until Gore. The trick is that unless we change society it it unlikely to change (and vote) according to our liking. The following quote may be helpful in deciding which way to move society in order to eventually secure liberty:
'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
from spritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to complacency;
from complacency to apathy;
from apathy to dependancy;
from dependency back into bondage.'
