Federal Judge Declares Interstate Handgun Transfer Ban Unconstitutional

[Lex Concord]

So, you want the NRA alternative to the 1968 GCA?

Isn't the NRA the focus of eeevil on INGO?

I'm not sure what you mean by "the NRA alternative to the 1968 GCA".

What I'm for is the elimination of the many restrictions and barriers that have been placed on the acquisition and possession of arms in this country.

If a man can't be trusted in public with a firearm, maybe we should continue to hold him in prison, rather than subject tens of thousands of non-criminals to the presumption of untrustworthiness and the hassles that come with just so we can set him free to make space for some kid that happened to be holding a dime bag when he was last pulled over for speeding.

Absolutely agreed. If they can't be trusted with a firearm, they obviously aren't rehabilitated and shouldn't be released. I think this is why the repeat offender rate is so high for violent offenders. They are releasing people who shouldn't be released...ticking time bombs just waiting for the right opportunity to prey upon someone again.

In 1968 the NRA proposed an affidavit in lieu of the GCA of 1968 for mail order sales.

It is this proposal that is denounced as "compromise" today.

The ban was overturned about this time last year. Has there been anything done to get this going?

Oral arguments in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals were last month. It is now captioned Mance v. Lynch, too.

Figure another 60-90 days for a decision.

Ok, I'm done reading and still not exactly sure.

I *think* this applies to FFL sellers only. That if I'm in GA and want to buy a handgun, they run the NICS check and I'm ok, I can walk out with the gun and not have it shipped to an IN FFL. I don't know that this covers person to person sales because the case is about the context of "where state or local laws require a license, pre-registration, or other form of approval to proceed with the sale" and since we (at least in Indiana) don't have a pre-approval card of some sort to show another person, the NICS check would be how that's done.

To be frank, I'm still a bit confused by it though and I may be reading it wrong.

Frank is a nice guy and all, but you really need to be yourself! Things would be a lot less confusing that way!

(The opportunities I would miss if people didn't bump really old threads!)

You're quick Dave.

You're quick Dave.

I think that's what she said.

Two years later. When can i go to Whitakers and buy a hand gun without having to ship it to an ffl.

Boy was I wrong. Looks like supplemental authorities and some responsive briefing finished in May 2016, still no decision. Not sure what the holdup is.

Hopefully this is the year!

Gosh it needs to be simplified to purchase a firearm from a different state. For some people the different state can still be your neighbors.

 

[redryder]

Annual bump. Is this ever going to happen?

 

[dugsagun]

You would think in this day and age of computer everything that someone could find out faster then u can fill out a form if u are a proper individual. But since we have these pesky old acts that always seem to get in the way, i think a magic 8 ball has just as much a chance of telling winning lottery numbers as those in power actually doing something about it. Hopefully tho i am wrong.

Lost track of this.

Decided January 19, 2018. District court reversed. "We" "lost." I suspect the petition for SCOTUS review is in the works.

 

[Captaincrunk]

You can do this now. However, there is a lot of "have your people call my people". If this decision is upheld, it will be a lot cleaner.

And cheaper

 

[cosermann]

If we have a federal form to fill out (4473), federally licensed dealers (FFLs), and a national instant criminal background check system (NICS), I'm not sure why it matters what state you're in.

SCROTUS isn't going to take that one up. Too controversial for Roberts.
