    The devil is in the details.

    With the feds, there is policy and then here is implementation.

    Send a check to NRA-ILA. Rally friends and family to the cause, and then buckle your chinstrap.

    I'm actually okay with most of it.. a lot of it is purely symbolic... gotta calm the frenzied populace that the media has whipped into a firestorm.. the "assault weapon" ban is not something i'd like to see go in, and the changing of the HIPA law.. yeah.. no.. I'm actually quite okay with the universal background check.. provided they open a way for regular people (see: gun show loophole) to access the NICS when selling a firearm.

    okay.. i've got my big boy pants on.. flame away.

    I hate to say "I told you...." OK, Can't lie. I don't mind it a bit.

    I said that an Executive Order cannot make law, cannot make a crime and cannot regulate in an area Congress governs....but the panicky people wouldn't hear of it.

    Why take anything for granted where the government is concerned?

    Government exists to serve the people, not the other way around.

    What just happened is a continuation of the current panic. We still won't be able to buy cheap ammo, reloading supplies or extra mags. :xmad:

    Along this same line of questioning, (Im not sure how the logistics of this would work, but) would it possible for Gun Show venues to have staff set up in areas that would have the equipment (and run it) for private sales transactions that occur at a show?
