all private sales requiring a NICS check. The AWB is a very politically charged issue. Now I'm not saying a new AWB WON'T happen especially with a lot of dick sucking commies running DC, so don't label me naive. I think that the "Blue Dogs" fear a fight against any contenders in their bids for reelection and will shun a renewed AWB. However doing something shitty like requiring NICS checks for ALL firearms sales would be something "Blue Dogs", "Rhinos"and "Soccer Moms" alike would think is kosher.
Fire away and bash me. 
ETA: I am still going to actively fight any AWB proposals by phoning, mailing, and e-mailing my reps, as I suggest you to do as well

I agree
pushing for NICS or making transfers go through a FFL would be a easy sell |

It has been done in CA and law for all firearm transfers (dealer and private) to go through an FFL since 1991. And on top of that a 10-day waiting period. CA law usually becomes federal law like how McCarthy tried to push for HR1022 which is mainly based off of CA SB23

Closing the "gunshow loophole". and Tax the shit out of ammo,a good Liberal must first think of a way to grow government when coming up with new legislation. |

I've been saying for a while now that we should be worried about Obama closing the gun show loophole (which results in registration) and repealing the Tiahrt amendment. And with all this stuff about gun smuggling to Mexico, I can't imagine they won't use that as an excuse to repeal the Tiahrt amendment. I think either of these will see less opposition than a ban, and do more damage.

Only problem I see with this mandatory trip through the FFL is that for so many years it hasn't been required they will have no way to enforce this properly. No doubt the Democrats will clamp down on guns hard while they are in power. I expect to see some serious new anti-gun laws before Obama leaves office in January 2013 when he's fucked up the country so bad he won't win re-election. Just hope the next President and congress can help undo the damage. Unfortunately we all know when you give the government an inch they take a mile. We will likely only get half a mile back to where we were so damage will still be done.

We will likely only get half a mile back to where we were so damage will still be done. I agree completely that giving an inch is giving a mile...and while I don't support government tracking of my firearms, there is a solid argument in the point that it is in our interests as gun owners to make sure those that will not use their weapons responsibly should not acquire them in the first place. The very few can have a big negative effect on the rest of us. I don't think enforcement is that big of an issue–– the law would be self-regulating to a large degree; if there was a law that required a check on a private person, I'd engage the process diligently and document the hell out of the transaction–– otherwise, it's pretty obvious that the seller would enjoy a share of whatever liability was caused by providing an unauthorized buyer to take possession of a firearm. In other words, ignore the process, sell a gun to someone without the proper check, and kiss everything you own good bye when they decide to do something stupid (the firearm would be traced to the original seller, bet on it). So, I would not only require someone to submit to a check, but I'd go so far as to call the local sheriff to verify current validity of any CHL presented as a substitute for a NICS check (in Oregon your CHL can be used in stead of a background check, I believe this is common in many states). It's a tough issue, and I'm not sure if giving that inch is worth it (I'm a pragmatist...I can't stand feel-good, do-nothing legislation). That said, I don't like the idea of criminals being able to walk into a gun show and walk out with whatever someone is willing to sell them. I haven't felt like my freedoms have been expanded or restricted by what goes on at gun shows, so why would we treat such a venue as anything different than walking into a retail store? It should be one rule either way–– checks for every transfer, or none whatsoever. |

Yeah, I think they will start registering actual serial numbers instead of handgun/long gun/receiver during the NCIS checks right before they start requiring all sales to go through an FFL.
Lots of people think storing the serial number is a great idea, and it happens to be one of the worst and potentially most threatening ideas. LE likes to find someone to stick the crime on in 24-48 hours, and having a registration number will just be TOO good an opportunity to stick someone in jail ("You DO own a handgun in the same calibre that was used to kill the victim...") in order to prove that progress is being made on a case. I love America, but I don't necessarily trust anyone in it. |

Now I'm not saying a new AWB WON'T happen especially with a lot of dick sucking commies running DC, so don't label me naive. I think that the "Blue Dogs" fear a fight against any contenders in their bids for reelection and will shun a renewed AWB. However doing something shitty like requiring NICS checks for ALL firearms sales would be something "Blue Dogs", "Rhinos"and "Soccer Moms" alike would think is kosher. Fire away and bash me.
ETA: I am still going to actively fight any AWB proposals by phoning, mailing, and e-mailing my reps, as I suggest you to do as well Agreed... However the AWB will probably happen after they get "re-elected", this is the reason I am surprised the "talk" started this early. Either they think they are going to loose and might as well make the changes before then, or they were hoping for more support out of this and it backfired on them. I don't think so: In March, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "I, as a senator, supported measures to try and reinstate it. Politically, that is a very big hurdle in our Congress. But there may be some approaches that could be acceptable, and we are exploring those." from CNN of all places. Poll: Fewer Americans support stricter gun control laws
Then there is Pelosi on ABC Good Morning America on April 7: Roberts: Under the Bush administration, you pretty much said the ball was in their court when it came to reinstating the ban. Now, it's a Democratic President, a Democratic House. So, is the ball in your court where this is concerned?
Pelosi: Yes, it is. And we are just going to have to work together to come to some resolution because the court, in the meantime, in recent months, the Supreme Court has ruled in a very- in a direction that gives more opportunity for people to have guns. We never denied that right. We don't want to take their guns away. We want them registered. We don’t want them crossing state lines... Linky |

it would be politically unwise to attempt to reinstate the AWB, the dumbocrats know this. i don't really care if they intitute a mandatory waiting period for rifles like the already have for pistols. you can't wait 2 or 3 days? What is this "waiting period" you speak of? The longest I ever waited was about two minutes and that was before I got my CHL. |

i've never purchased a pistol but i know @ the gun show you can't take home a handgun but you can take home a rifle or shotgun. at the gunshow, if you buy a pistol, it get's mailed to you. i'm not sure how it works honestly, i've never bought a handgun. my dad has so many i just use his. i was under the impression it would be the same @ a gun store, in that you must wait 2 or 3 days for whatever reason. maybe so you'll cool off if your buying it to kill yourself or someone else? idfk

Usually you walk in (whether it's the gun shop or a dealer at the gun show), fill out the form, they make a two minute phone call, you hand them money and walk out with your gun. It's no different for a pistol or rifle. If you're buying it from an individual you don't even have to do that - just exchange money for gun and you're done. |

I agree pushing for NICS or making transfers go through a FFL would be a easy sell Would they actually enforce this new transfer law? Or would the only enforce the law on us? Would it apply to the inner city unlicensed pharmacists? We have more than enough laws already. Enforcement of existing laws is lacking. |

That said, I don't like the idea of criminals being able to walk into a gun show and walk out with whatever someone is willing to sell them. Why? What kind of question is that? Why do you support the idea of giving guns to criminals? |

Closing the gun show loophole will do no good as long as there are MILLIONS of unregistered guns still on the streets. If they make private sales illegal, owning an unregistered firearm will become illegal. They go hand in hand...

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: all private sales requiring a NICS check.......However doing something shitty like requiring NICS checks for ALL firearms sales would be something "Blue Dogs", "Rhinos"and "Soccer Moms" alike would think is kosher. Can you elaborate? What would that change? In other words, as a CCW, would one still get a NICS check for each purchase? What about like having a handgun permit in a state like NC. That permit is all the gun store needs to sell you a handgun as of 2009. Are you talking about legislation that would supercede that sort of thing, or is there a large segment of guns being sold new in the box legitimately right now that are not being checked for some other reason? Think "closing the gunshow loophole." If I want to sell to you, personally, the sale would have to be done through a FFL with a background check. Also, The CCW license/permit would no longer suffice by itself when buying from a dealer. They would still have to call in the background check. At least I THINK this is what he's talking about. I don't think that I realized private sales don't have to use an FFL. I figured to make a private sale "legit" it had to be transferred using an FFL. Anything else seems like a borderline straw purchase...but I guess intent is as the heart of straw purchases isn't it? I also assume private sales must be limited to a certain number of transactions per year? Private sales of firearms are unregulated in many states. Some states like CA require all firearm transfers to go through an FFL. Other states, like PA, require handgun sales to go through and FFL but private sales of long guns are OK. In NC, with your crazy pistol permit nonsense, you probably have to go through an FFL for a pistol sale but you could buy a rifle/shotgun at a garage sale legally. Believe it or not, most non-FFL firearm transactions involve two people that can pass the NICS check. I'm sure some prohibited persons buy firearms FTF, but it's far from the majority. |
