This cert was for a distress flare launcher which he said he'd handed into the police station days before. Some of his tools that I acquired after he was removed from my house 15 years later, are still in a flare box! It is solid, metal, heavy & useful for storing odd bits & pieces (hand drill, wood working stuff, plane, spoke shaves...), but no flaresnor ammo, nor gunsKillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175513884016706612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-67183782320353739312009-02-21T21:31:00.000-06:002009-02-21T21:31:00.000-06:00Oh please.

From there it has to go to court, and has to be put before of all things a Jury. hopefully at that point it becomes too much of a logistical nightmare to be enforced. At that point it either gets stricken from the public books, or else there will be a lot of people worried about spending time behind bars for not knowing if grandpa had more rifles than he told you about.<BR/>That is of course making the assumption it passes.<BR/>This is only one of several that are up before the house though, so do your homework, and make sure the people who are supposed to represent you know who you are and how you feel. more so, if you are not letting them know just how wrong you think this is, then you are not doing your part and deterring this kind of stupidity.<BR/>So to ask, how many times have you written about this house resolution?Jean&Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305391492922615558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-52286291759614279812009-02-13T14:33:00.000-06:002009-02-13T14:33:00.000-06:00Talked to my husband a little bit ago and his rese...Talked to my husband a little bit ago and his research told him that this bill has been squeezed into the stimulus bill. If that is true, it could be law as early as next week.<BR/><BR/>I need to go do something happy now... our government makes me very angry these days. Must focus inward on my family and let my husband deal with the outward stuff. He deals much better than I.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info... it was this post that told us about it in the first place.~Babychaser~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12789794457673145109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-63833496523883631832009-02-13T06:48:00.000-06:002009-02-13T06:48:00.000-06:00I just posted a few state bills that are in the wo...I just posted a few state bills that are in the works around the country. Hopefully they will pass, but they basically say that these states are going to ignore anything the federal government does that is not in accordance with the finite and restricted responsibilities put upon the federal government by the constitution. The rights and responsibilities of the states cover anything that is not SPECIFICALLY outlined in the constitution. I think it is Minnesota that has a bill that is also saying that they are going to ignore federal regulations for firearms and ammunition made in the state and sold in the state, since they believe the federal government only has a right to say anything about interstate commerce, not intrastate.<BR/><BR/>Either way, some scary stuff going on out there.FarmerGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274846096761160244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-6614155739645359962009-02-12T23:15:00.000-06:002009-02-12T23:15:00.000-06:00Wow!

I am in NSW, Aus and am going through the process of getting my licence..here is a BRIEF rundown of the process:<BR/><BR/>Do paperwork and pay for shooting club membership<BR/>Fill out licence forms inc proof of club membership, reason to acquire etc, do firearms safety course<BR/>Wait<BR/>Finally acquire licence<BR/>Request paperwork to aquire a firearm<BR/>Fill out paperwork and send back to firearms registry<BR/>Wait<BR/>Find and install a safe in the meantime which must meet strict requirements<BR/>Recieve approval and paperwork to purchase firearm<BR/>Go to gun store, present paperwork and licence, buy gun, wait for an hour while gun store fills out paperwork to be sent back to the firearms registry<BR/>Take gun home.<BR/><BR/>You then have to attend the rifle club a certain number of times each year, and can expect police to turn up at any time to check the firearm is stored properly. Also, the gun store takes your licence details every time you purchase ammo so Big Brother knows when and how much and what type you bought.<BR/><BR/>So yeah, fight to keep your rights or you will end up just as bad as us. Once you lose ground it is very hard to get it back!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776481723125911564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-20049694216615394272009-02-12T21:45:00.000-06:002009-02-12T21:45:00.000-06:00that is outrageousthat is outrageousCelestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185860853151726676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-44318211781564061782009-02-12T21:02:00.000-06:002009-02-12T21:02:00.000-06:00Try this link for the text of the youtube video on...Try this link for the text of the youtube video on ammunition accountability legislation:<BR/>http://www.topix.com/forum/city/london-ky/TL3SHAP2F0NKA3E85<BR/><BR/>here's another one explaining about it as well:<BR/>http://www.usavsus.info/US-AmmoRegistr.htm<BR/><BR/>-SandySandy@American Way Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386748022630293500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-55094714703250058792009-02-12T18:42:00.000-06:002009-02-12T18:42:00.000-06:00I hope all Americans will stand up and say no!I hope all Americans will stand up and say no!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-18511232744964576492009-02-12T17:37:00.000-06:002009-02-12T17:37:00.000-06:00Sounds like overkill.

A law like this passing would essentially insure that anyone who voted for it could guarantee being defeated in the next election. Like Christy said, it's worth keeping an eye on, but I doubt it would even get past committee.rachelbesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907834360662079706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-83759894346571973532009-02-12T15:03:00.000-06:002009-02-12T15:03:00.000-06:00hey would ya look at that, looks like someone stol...hey would ya look at that, looks like someone stole my guns......Tweedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13400114185956007149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-27082423623516004542009-02-12T13:44:00.000-06:002009-02-12T13:44:00.000-06:00ChristyACB, Watch I shall.A Lawyer, thank you for ...ChristyACB, Watch I shall.<BR/><BR/>A Lawyer, thank you for that info.
