Who would of thunk Iowa allows child molesters to carry
guns, it was
recently reported I see.

I don't have a problem with background checks BUT the way
it should work
is simple. You fill out the form, they call it in, if it
comes back
clear you get to take your purchase and they shred the
form. The dealer
would record the serial numbers in/out BUT with no
names/addresses or
other info.

We don't need no stinkin' forms or checks, or anything else.

Should also be that if you are in a state that issues
handgun permits
that the permit is valid across the country and it
exempts you from
background check unless it is revoked.

The National Reciprocity law proposed died with other guns
measures,
recently.


Now that is the obnoxious thing; apparently I'm considered
legally able to conceal a handgun in my own state, but there
are states in which there is *no* legal way for me to even
drive through with my own legally purchased handgun unless I
just pass straight through and don't stop (e.g. Maryland or
Massachusetts)

sorry for the OT post but this actually does annoy the crap
out of me as I have good friends in both of the states I
mention above...

It gets even worse.
In DC for example you can now own a gun but you can't transport it, even
unloaded and cased, except directly between your home and a gun range.
If you see any defensible logic in that, you're a better man than I
because I don't.
Oh, there are no gun ranges within DC by the way.

so once otherwise law abiding citizens are criminalized and therefore
alienated, they're not invested in upholding other laws either. maybe
the legislators responsible for that absurdity have stock in the
companies that make the equipment used to quell civil unrest? it
wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened.
