quote: My suggestion is establish an insurance pool like workers' comp. If a person is shot unlawfully, their costs are paid out of the insurance pool. The funds come from taxing firearms transfers at variable rates - the dealers and makes that the actuaries say are most likely to be used in an illegal shooting pay the most. Great idea. Then we could do it for cars. And knives. And for those nasty books (paper cuts, eye strain). And homes. And computers. And idiots.

Duh.

No such thing. I do not know how a licensee could mistake an FFL for an FFDL.

mnottertail -> RE: What kind of Gun Regulation Makes Sense? (3/2/2011 7:33:17 AM)
While these are by the great unwashed and colloquially referred to as FFLs: I hold a Federal Firearms Dealers License. (type two: pawnshop) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Firearms_License as opposed to an FFIL Federal Firearms Importer License. or a FFML Federal Firearms Manufacturers License. Each according to their abilities, each according to their needs. But thank you for your laser like insight into the program, that you've shared so fully and knowledgeably with us, truck. One of us stands corrected, and I will leave it to the obvious auspices of your office to determine which of us that might be.

quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead Mea culpa: I didn't know that. Always thought they wouldn't arse about with that... businesses who possess or otherwise control guns whether theirs or others (like gunsmiths, pawnbrokers, auctioneers, sporting goods places (when the auction sale is substantially based on firearms) must hold at least an FFDL. And you will have to pass a NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check) via FBI to buy or get your gun back and serial numbers and nomenclatures are recorded and held 20 years FOR EACH TRANSACTION, 3 separate pawns, 3 NICS. There is a loophole for private sales, and by that loophole gunshows, but if you show up at several gunshows with a table full of weapons for sale, the ATF (in my area, the agent guy I deal with is Kurt Goering, and yes he is related) will see if they cant set you up for skinning your knickers for Jesse and his big white friend Beh'na'd at our equivalent of your Durham.

Best not to go upsetting them, then. (I always thought that the Bureau of Alcohol Firearms and Tobacco was an off license in Texas, to be honest...)

Guns have their own amendment? Here I was thinking the constitution had amendments. The confusion you're enjoying is in your own mind, sonny. I suppose it saves you the cost of a few beers on Saturday night, but it ain't easy on the rest of us.

Maybe we could have some sort of ongoing game to spot sockpuppet accounts? On spotting one, the spotter could post some sort of slogan and derive great kudos from doing so...

Dude. You should stop digging. 5 of the first 10 entries for FFL on Google refer to Federal Firearms Licenses. 0 of the first 30 entries for FFIL on Google refer to firearms in any way. 0 of the first 30 entries for FFML on Google refer to firearms. 0 of the first 30 entries for FFDL on Google refer to firearms in any way (one hit includes a reference to Fat Factor Deer Lick, however, which sounds to me like something you should TIVO. I myself have held both a Class 1 FFL and a Class 7 FFL, which is the only way I've ever heard anyone refer to them: "Class 1" and "Class 7".

quote: And idiots. One of the things I like most about NRA idiots is how aggressively stupid they are. Got a problem? They can't deal with it, on principle. The only way to relate to the world is hoard guns. You want to hoard guns, join the Army and see if they'll let you into the armory. Don't count on it, though. Guys as bright as that usually wound up sweeping the parade deck. Did your momma ever teach you the difference between a KNIFE and a SHEET OF PAPER? Why exactly do you think you have the brains to be trusted with a deadly weapon? You're the fellow who needed the junior DI standing over your shoulder to make sure you could chamber a round without putting it thru your boot. Jeezus!

I won't join the NRA because they are not extreme enough. I am sure I will be contradicted for that, saying 'Yes, you will.'

Duh. Ah no. Legalize the drugs. Good luck with that whole war on drugs thing though, it's going swimmingly. [:-]. Taken a look at Mexico lately? To the OP, I don't know. I'm a pro gun liberal, and I have a lot of friends that can't register a handgun or longgun here in Maine, and they just have their wives or kids go do it. A few of the guys I know were involved in a marijuana bust and so wifey registers the gun and she also gets the hunting license so they can still go on those buck and moose hunts. Yes of course if they go hunting and bag one, she better be there before you drag it to a tagging station, but my point is it's way easy to get a gun if you want one. Kind of like the war on drugs.... Everyone I know, regardless of criminal past, owns guns that want one. If they have the $$$ they have the gun.

Q: Does an importer or manufacturer of firearms also need a dealer’s license? No, as long as the importer or manufacturer is engaged in the business of dealing in firearms at the licensed premises in the same type of firearms authorized by the importer’s or manufacturer’s license. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/licensing.html#dual-licensing From the ATF web site. Seems they are seperate licenses. You may want to check out the actual application from the ATF site.

quote: I won't join the NRA because they are not extreme enough Good for you. Is your interest your business, or your fear, or what combination? Do you plan to hold a gun on the sheriff when he comes with his guns to drag you into court to answer some bullshit like why your car isn't insured? Or do you just like to feel your guns? Or just talk about them? Guns are obviously the answer to these problems, and the more guns the better. We need to get back to the traditional machine gun battalions of WW2. You never have to worry about ammunition, because it will always be there, right?
