    Gun Control Thread

    The left and most of our government has been looking for ways to disarm us for decades. This latest school shooting pulls at the heartstrings and is a perfect opportunity to demonize those of us who oppose gun control. More people die falling out of bed every year than are killed with all rifles, including the ficticiously named assault rifle.

    As soon as semi-autos are banned the anti-gunners will move onto handguns then eventually all firearms. We now need to aggressively oppose ANY gun control because history has shown in this country and around the world that people are willing to act on emotion and pass foolish laws and that gun laws are almost never repealed.

    People who hunt with a wood-stocked bolt action rifle are only a year or two behind the guy with the AR15 on the gun-grabbers agenda. The left and the government won't stop. So please write letters to your senators, congressman, governors, everybody you can think of, statng your opposition to banning firearms.

    Also consider supporting groups like the Second Amendment Foundation and th NRA.

    Please feel free to add links including addresses of politicians and other pertinent information.

    good thread idea. they already have a very good common sense chipping point at deer rifles. "the area is sooo populated its dangerous to use a high powered rifle for deer. everything is so close you really only need a shotgun." makes sense, many hunters will see the point and go with it. its truly a time to call and write your reps, they will divide and conquer.

    Gov Corbett: link is at the bottom right to email or phone http://www.governor.state.pa.us/port...r_pa_gov/20650

    Senator Pat Toomey:http://www.toomey.senate.gov/?p=contact

    Senator Bob Casey: http://www.casey.senate.gov/contact/

    Congressman Mike Kelly https://kelly.house.gov/contact-me/email-me (my rep)

    your reps I cant speak for but they are JUST AS IMPORTANT!

    They actually started selling again based on the last announcement I saw. Their system couldn't handle the sales volume so they had to shut down.

    True or not, I won't shop there.

    There used to be a guy down the river who had a nice shooting range. The only way to get to his place is by boat. Really sucks when the currents catch you wrong and tip the boat.

    info about the new law:

    It requires owners of existing “assault weapons” to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA imposes a $200 tax per firearm, and requires an owner to submit photographs and fingerprints to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), to inform the BATFE of the address where the firearm will be kept, and to obtain the BATFE’s permission to transport the firearm across state lines.

    Now that is what she wants to propose, so we will see what actually comes out of Congress.

    I'm going through that process for a suppressor right now. It also applies to machine guns, SBRs, SBSs, etc.

    First you go to the local police station, or in my case, the county sheriff's office to be fingerprinted. This costs $15 and takes an hour of your time. You submit an ATF Form 4 to the sheriff or police chief and they run a quick background check phone call on you. Don't forget the passport photos. Next you mail the form in to the ATF with the fingerprint cards and this other form that certifies US citizenship and your $200 check. The check gets cashed right away of course, but the wait for the tax stamp to come back is currently about 6 months. If this goes through the ATF will have to hire more people to process a lot of paperwork or else the wait will be ridiculous.

    If I want to take my suppressor out of state for a weekend I have to submit a form to the ATF to let them know when and where I will be going.

    The crappy part is if you don't register your assault rifle then you'll be risking a felony to use it at any range, transport it, or use it for home defense.

    And this morning there was another shooting at a New Jersey police station. I fear we are doomed in this fight, and I have to admit (tinfoil on) something seems very fishy and convenient to a grabbers cause as of late.
