The Clinton gun ban has expired!
Tailgunner:
NC has a novel system. You stop by the sherrif's office before the show, have the background check run there while you wait, and buy "pistol purchase permits" to take with you to the show. $5 each, good for 5 years and you can get 5 permits a trip. You take these with you to a show, buy your gun, fill out the yellow form, and give one to the dealer. Long guns don't require them, handguns do but you can use one in lieu of the instant check for any firearm where the the dealer is having trouble getting through to get an instant check run. In either case the purchase permit supercedes the Brady waiting period and you can take your new toy home that day.

I think he was suggesting that there is the possibility that if John Kerry becomes president, he will put in place all the Gun Bans that the Democrates have been holding on to for the past 4 years.

I'm well aware of what he was insinuating, but the election is in two months, not three. And even if Kerry should happen to get elected along with enough Congressional seats going Democrat to allow whatever laws the Dems want to get passed, the inauguration isn't until January, which, by my watch, is 4 months away. So I'm just curious to hear what he thinks is going to happen in December. Unless he's counting on another election fiasco that will take until mid-December to work out.
I'm also in Maryland, and I'm a Democrat, but I'm very anti gun ban. I don't own a gun, and don't plan to, but I fully support the right to own.
Crazy Cooter:
I don't see the need for some of the high-power rifles and such, but I would still like to own a few (Toolman style). One thing I found a little disturbing was a quick note at the bottom of this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5946127/ MSN article though:
"Now, some gun manufacturers are planning to give away high-capacity magazines as bonuses for buying their weapons. Sales of formerly banned gun accessories, such as flash suppressors and folding stocks, are also expected to take off."
Flash suppressors? :o Umm... what is the arguement for needing something like that? Seems a bit much to me other than a "coolness factor". Discuss...
Crazy Cooter:
Crud. Already being discussed:

Crazy Cooter:
What is the need for a flash suppressor? And 30 round clips? If their not legal to use for hunting, I just don't see the "need" for them to be legal. Of course if you could go and recreationally toss a few grenades, and call that plinking, I'd have a case behind the couch ;)
I just don't understand the arguement for needing something like that.
remember: Guns don't kill people, people kill people. A flash suppressor and a couple 30 round clips should make it easier to get away of course...
