On Friday our governor signed into law four new “gun control” bills one of which imposes a three day waiting period on gun purchases. It’s reported that nine other states already have this restriction in place. For those of you in those states, how has this impacted your gun shows? (Our annual gun collector/classic arms show is coming up in three weeks and I doubt that it will impact this years’ show but wonder about subsequent years.)

Just remember, as minor as some of these regs may seem when introduced, they are the thin edge of the wedge. The forces arrayed against gun owners are not looking for a compromise that will make America safer. They are looking for the removal of guns from as many non government hands as possible and EVERY regulation is a step forward for them. They take the long view and understand it’s a multi generational fight. Do not underestimate them, even with your 2cd Amendment.

By design Mark. We do not have a gun problem in this country as much as we have a mental health problem. But they will not go there at all. Every major city, has a homeless problem and every homeless situation has a large number of mental health issues behind them. Addictions, mental health and the refusal of those in charge to deal with the issues by any means other than spending more money on things which have proven to not work for decades. Kind of like the War on Drugs. And how well has that gone so far?

After 60 years of the War on Drugs I know that the Government is incapable of winning that or the newer War Against Guns so it is becoming a War on Legal Guns. They can make ownership more expensive or more difficult and will try to chip away at selected gun ownership and rights while pretending that that is all they want. Sane, common sense measures, translates into do what we tell you and we will leave you a bone, for now. It comes down to an attack on freedoms for those they disagree with. They do not want you to have walls, guns, or extra security, yet they live behind gated communities, with extra security, some of which is armed. Hypocrites. I am glad I am near the end of my lifespan because I call BS on all of them.

The next big push against private use of firearms is coming with restrictions on ammunition. It’s all in the greater plan that Canvasback speaks of. A gun is a worthless instrument without a way to feed it.

I was talking with a friend who is a behavioral health professional at one of our big hospitals over the weekend. She says the updated red flag law is worse than ineffective because people will not speak candidly with their providers out of fear of having their guns seized. They made the mental health aspect worse! They are stupid or evil or both.

I am offering this service free of charge to board members, not as a money making venture.

I still cherish our relationship William.

All my best.

Who counts the votes matters more!

The crazy left is a mental health problem so much decay in progressive areas .the plan is to make all of us serfs.

I can run the 4473 for any local buyers and you can collect it after the 3 days if that helps any board members.

In looking for the text of the new law I’ve realized the implications are more complicated. This from a newspaper report. “If a background check takes longer than the three-day waiting period, purchasers would have to continue waiting to access their weapon until the check is complete.” For a local shop represented at a gun show, this might still be workable but I don’t know how a non-local seller would be able to make sales not knowing how long the background check might take.

So in addition to the Free Advertising you do in your tagline, I see you are now advertising 4473 Firearms transfers here...

Will Dave Weber also not be getting paid for this new Free Advertising???

I think we all know the answer to that.

Now Stevie, why would I think that you are suddenly doing the right thing concerning the rules for advertising on this BBS???

It is gratifying to see that you understand the difference between doing free favors for Board members, and profiting from Free Advertising in your tagline... without compensating Dave Weber the $12.00 he is owed each time you profit from the substantial fees you charge Board members... when they respond to that advertising.

So can we assume that you will henceforth pay Dave when someone here pays you for services rendered that were a result of your continuous Free Advertising?

And will you also be paying Dave a bunch of delinquent $12.00 fees for past services rendered, for profit?

I like to think asking these questions is my own Free Service, and a favor to Board Members. Why should we, or Dave, subsidize the business ventures of you and the other people who do Free Advertising in their taglines? Your late fellow anti-gun Liberal King Brown complained that I was taking advantage of Dave for having a link to the NRA Political Victory Fund in my tagline, so I deleted it, even though I would not get a penny of profit from it. I just felt it would be helpful to support our gun rights, unlike those of you who support anti-gun Democrats. You all know Dave's feelings on the matter of free advertising and self-promotion , and he isn't gouging anyone. Time to pony up!

Just my opinion, as always!
