Legal firearm ownership?

too late guys, sold em all last week to some guy in the news paper. LOL They will have to find mine!!

If there is a ban firearms that are banned will sky rocket in value, just like they did with the clinton assault rifle ban. They will be harder to get and manufacturing will be shut down but we will see private sold weapons going for much much more.

Read the imposed bills, HR45 is failing miserably. There will most likely only be a ban against MFG at this point and many believe it will not get passed. Right now everything is speculation and alot of gun mfgs are using the ban hype to already mark their stuff up way too high. it will either level out and go back to the way it was a year ago or it will go back to the way it was 8 yrs ago, pretty simple

Ban= Ban from mfg, not ban from ownership, that would be literaly impossible and would start a revolt of some sort

Excellent question! It is my understanding, however, that the 'right to keep and bear arms' relates to a time in which the Colonies did not have an army and it was therefor the duty of the American citizen to be prepared to defend the country from outside forces. Switzerland has as many or more guns per capita than the USA for the same reason and yet is not rife with gun-based violence to the degree the USA is represented as having accomplished.

Since there is now a military, then there is no longer any reason except nostalgia to reinterpret the Constitution to state that one has the right to keep and bear arms for whatever purpose one deems 'necessary' - the Founding Fathers would probably have some choice words for the current situation. I tend to gravitate more toward the Right to Free Speech and Free Assembly... negated by the Patriot Act - where were all the guns-for-freedom then?

As a friend of gun owners & users on both sides of the Canadian/American border, I think that unless close attention is paid to the wording of the Act innocent people will be made to feel like criminals while the real criminals continue to use stolen and/or unregistered firearms in the pursuit of crime - most recently collectors have been targeted by thieves with access to gun club lists.. Perhaps the American government has learned something from the Gun Registry fiasco the Canadians just went through and the US program may be more successful. However I do not believe that ordinary citizens necessarily NEED a gun, and their prevalence has increased the number of deaths attributable to fits of rage: it's all too easy when one is angry to use a firearm. If citizens do not demonstrate proper practices then the modern Nanny State will intervene - anarchy doesn't mean might makes right, it means that individuals weigh the consequences of their actions and behave civilly without needing to be told to.

I am sorry that so many people are angry about it, but it was bound to happen sometime. I am curious and do plan to do more research, but really? A full ban? Or would it be a ban on specific types of weapons and/or the number of firearms one could own? A full ban would indeed be impossible to enforce, leaving only the issue of civilians with firearms designed for the theatre of war being used to hunt unarmed animals, and where's the fun in that?

A complete and broad ban on guns will not be implemented. To attempt to ban all guns in a country that includes the right to keep and bear arms in the bill or rights would be political suicide. However restrictions and taxes can, and probably will, be put in place. I expect ammunition will be taxed a great deal more and the government will try to limit the size of magazines. I also expect that the ownership of certain type of firearms will be prohibited without expensive permits or tax stamps. I don't really have important plans regarding gun laws. I will probably purchase a larger magazine or two before a restriction is put in place. If a bill related to gun control is presented and I find it important, I may write my state representatives a few letters. But I, like most people I know, do not have any plans.

claim financial hardship and claim I sold them all. including 42,000 odd rounds of ammo. sorry officer, no guns or ammo here.

buy all new ammo and magazines with cash that is from my emergencies account; credit cards, payroll checks, debit cards can be traced. cash cannot.

buy several more additional firearms, at least one pistol (turning 21 in august), at least one pistol caliber carbine, and a 12 gauge shotgun. Preferably private party transfers that do not involve a ffl or registration.

Even though I'm not 21 yet, I intend on buying as much pistol ammo as possible.

if they do a house to house search, I ask for a warrant, no warrant no search. yes warrant, slam door in face and aptly refuse to give up my guns. I have 120 days supplies in my house, 7 guns (currently) and more than 42,000 rounds of stockpiled ammunition. its gonna take a while and I have things set up that I can repel up to a 10 man SWAT team if needed.

If a ban occurs, and they're taking people's guns, I plan on also adding a flare pistol, a couple aerial fireworks, tear gas and smoke emitters if they come for my guns (assuming they are not defeated by some other gun owner down the street). and some tear gas masks, general gas masks, night vision, Kevlar body armor, golf balls for my golf ball launcher, flash powder...

In case of a firearms total ban by the current president I will be a criminal, they will not take my guns no matter what, they will not violate my rights. If a ban is attempted there WILL be a revolution, there is already alot of take about it now and it will grow and you will see a second civil war in the US. Obama knows this and will not attempt such a stupid move no matter how bad Nancy Palozi wants it. I have the right to protect my family, my property, my rights and I can not do it with a sling shot.

Don't ask, don't tell. The records are so fouled up by all of the bureaucrats that I'm not even concerned about it. The whole hoopla about the gun bans is promoted as much by the gun makers as the control advocates to raise the prices. A real conspiracy exists to raise the price of guns and ammunition by the gun makers.

Plans? Support and defend the Constitution through any means necessary, but I doubt it will come to that. Most of Congress is aware of what happened after the "assault weapons" ban of 1994. Not likely they'd do anything so foolish again.

you could visit close by hands broker and ask for a style or in simple terms style a bill of sale with make & variety, SN, shopper & broker call, shopper motive force license quantity and address. Have then sign it and noterized.

* Guns and Ammo have been hoarded now for many months.* The hoarding is not to obtain firepower before a Big Ban.* The hoarding is more about stopping the Spread of Communism and expected Violent Gun Confiscation.* Wholesale Gun Confiscation in America will bring Armageddon.* Those that think that Gun Confiscation would be Peaceful need to think again.* How many People must Die to Pursue an Un-American, Un-Constitutional Agenda?. The Founding Fathers of our Nation proclaimed that Our Rights are given to Us by God, and We cannot be Separated from those Rights; any Politician that tries to Deny us those Rights is in Violation of their Oath of Office, and therefore any Order issued by them is an illegal Order.*.

The reason for the Second amendment is to control the government from being able to take all of your rights, I will protect my right!!!!
