I wouldn't support that. I would support opening NICS to everyone for FREE so FtF transfers can be done without the potential of providing a gun to someone who isn't allowed to have one.

Because he shot her in the head 4 times when she was asleep.

Cool, looking forward to snagging a few.

I've been to several Dick's locations out of NJ, and I've never seen them sell MSRs... ever.

Get any more in yet?

That is... AWESOME!

Not really. All you need to do is ask the judge to see how he would get to work without a license... he'll understand.

The 9th Amendment: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Just because it's not enumerated as a right, does not mean it isn't a right.

What guns?

Vlad, You are right, my mistake! -DA

Even then, it's more trouble than it's worth in NJ. At least from what I've heard.

Again, this law can only be enforced on those who import the firearms in. They're the ones who need to assemble the firearms into a 'sporting' configuration to meet US import guidelines, and meet them when selling them to the US public. You said it yourself: these guidelines govern the actual import of the firearms. Not what happens once they've been imported. For example: a car imported to the US needs a certain percentage of US-made parts (I think 10%), usually using tires and other components. There is nothing stopping you after the fact from putting foreign parts on the car as long as it continues to meet safety/emissions/etc. This is why you'll never see a prosecution or conviction because it's exceedingly difficult to prove in the Court of Law with regards to your average citizen. There is no 'fine line' here to worry about.

Because gun owners are extremely risk averse and get their panties in a twist over every legal technicality BS. The 922r rules only apply to those who actually import the firearms. That was their intent when they were written. It's impossible to enforce them after the firearm has been imported and transferred to a civilian. Thus, why there have never been any prosecutions, and as written, simply wouldn't hold up in court.

It's already cheaper than an FN FS2000... that says a lot.

Disagree. Those restrictions cannot be held against firearms already imported into the USA. The restrictions exist only for those who import firearms and sell them to US residents, after that, it is fair game for you to use what you want. Also, I'd like to add, there has never been a successful prosecution of these rules on any citizen, ever. The laws (outside of importers) are practically and functionally unenforceable as the Federal Government would need to prove the parts were definitively not made in the USA. How can this work, if most parts are not serialized or even labeled with a manufacturer? How can they tell a plastic piece was injection-molded in Russia or the USA? TL;DR: The 922r rules only apply to those entities which import firearms and transfer them to US residents. Following this, the rules no longer apply to that firearm.

Doesn't matter. Those crazy 922r rules only apply to the rifle when imported. Once in the US, the rules no longer apply.

Yeah. People in Newark and Camden do it all the time. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I've always wondered this myself. What if we got a few hundred people to apply for ccw? Just jam up the works make our case. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I'd love to own one without that stupid fake silencer thing at the end of it...

Honestly, no, I wouldn't move. But I'd still go shooting in PA, because most outdoor NJ ranges are too expensive.

For me, it's more of a money thing. Let's say I want a brand new SCAR-17, but I don't have the money for it, and I'm not willing to wait a year to save up for it... so I'll open my safe, look at what guns are still clean from my once a year cleaning, and decide "what do I never shoot", then go from there. I mean, honestly, I don't need that many guns. Most are just there because they were 'fun' ideas at the time which I never ended up shooting or using. Also... another metric I use is: if I had to grab a gun to go fight zombies right now, which one has enough gear to support it. Sadly, despite the number of guns I own, I only have one magazine rig for one AR-15... I don't even have a holster for my full-size pistols! Just a CCW one for my G19! Lastly, the old addage remains true: I don't fear the man with 30 guns, I fear the man with one for he knows how to use it.

Actually, I believe firearms training should be taught in schools from a young age. First, on what to do when a child finds a firearm (don't touch, tell an adult), to handling and shooting one. In the long run, you help train folks and demystify guns in one shot. Punishment... No punishment is going to replace the grief a father or mother goes through after an accident like this.

The Case for More Guns (AKA, why we're winning) Reading this makes me slightly hopeful that things in this country will get better. Gun rights have held the line... and has begun pushing back, but there is still a ways to go. Honestly, I think our objective should be to restore gun rights to the point that you can buy a brand new fully-automatic, short barreled, suppressed rifle at Walmart, no differently than any other semi-auto. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but that should be the goal.

Honestly, what probably happened was this: the guy probably had a criminal record, the police were already keeping tabs on him, and boom: he dellivers probable cause via Twitter. Why? As a felon, it's unlawful for him to have any weapon in his hands.

It's not illegal everywhere, what the hell are you talking about? They make an SBS tax stamp for a reason.
