  1.   Is it even still searching when it's still on Page 1 of the sub-forum? 
  2.   I think they are still letting the lawyers tweak the exact wording for it behind the scenes.  The last thing they want is to screw up the implementation, and with as narrowly targeted as this is, it runs that risk.   The biggest thing was for the President to look "bold" on the issue. The lead up, holding that town hall, and on Tuesday, you can expect for him to reiterate it all during the State of the Union, the date everything was backwards planned from.  The effect of this (on all sides, including ours) is much more in the political spin than the actions taken. 
  3.   Being in exact alignment with Rush made me reflexively think about it again...but yeah, I come out to the same conclusion. 
  4. If one pull of the trigger (and I'm including the reset) results in more than one round being fired, how is it still a semi-automatic weapon?   That's not just me asking, that's a federal judge asking in the future.
  5. I mentioned it in another thread, but I thought she stole the show during that event.  If her story and passion about defending her family can't resonate with those indifferent or on the fence with this issue, nothing will.   She's an excellent face to put forward for a gun rights argument.
  6. Well, I disagree with them, obviously...but there are some hot chicks on that list (I'm talking about you Olivia's Munn and Wilde), and some very good entertainers.  So I'll just watch what I want and not care what they may think about my guns.
  7. Taya was good, all the public speaking since her husbands murder has refined her talking style, and helps her come across very nicely.  Firm, yet not in your face about it.   But this woman stole the show in my opinion.  She pretty much left the President with no room to do anything except move on, as he had no real answer.  She had to endure the fear of every woman in America, and now has a family of her own to protect.  Her story is exactly the reason, and her telling it makes a powerful case explaining why people need guns. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/08/meet-kimberly-corban-the-pro-gun-rape-survivor-who-challenged-obama-on-cnn/
  8.   Reviews and anything else going in the proper forum would keep future "digital clutter" from accumulating.  If people bumped an existing thread instead of creating a new one for the same subject (as applicable, and it often is), and we'd be all kinds of organized.
  9. They'll have good years, and they'll have lean years, just like any other stock for a company that sticks around.  The price of the stock may double, but what would your dividends have been?  If you're holding onto a stock for a while, that's what you should figure out.
  10.   There isn't an exact science to it, and it's really up to the potential ATF agents that come knocking at your door to make the call on constrictive intent and constructive possession.  Most people do SBR's with the AR, so they can get around it with enough wiggle room if they have different uppers >16" around.  But since you're putting together an MP5 SBR with the pistol you have en route your case is pretty singular, so why not play it safe?  That's what I did with my 10.5" AR upper while I only had one AR lower I was waiting to get a Form 1 approved on.  Getting it back was like getting it again for the 1st time.
  11.   You really sure? https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/if-person-has-pistol-and-attachable-shoulder-stock-does-constitute-possession-nfa
  12. You sure you want to have that stock sitting around next to the only firearm it could go onto before your Form 1 comes back with a stamp on it?    I'd find a friend to keep it on the top shelf of their closet for you.  But I'm paranoid about things like that.
  13. Hickok45 may not use Google+, but Google owns YouTube, so... His best bet is to get a couple of industry sponsors and start his own website where he can post videos and written commentary.
  14. Is the window between now and when this rule takes effect the last chance to file with a trust and avoid all this, or does the Form 1 or 4 have to be approved before that date (1 July or thereabouts)?

    SHOT Show Rumors

      I'm glad CZ is making things for the public, but a 16" version of the Scorpion has zero interest for me.  What does all that extra barrel do for a 9mm?  One of the best selling points of the 7" Scorpion pistol is that it makes a great HD/CQB weapon with or without a rifle stock as well.    Though get the carbines out on the market.  Maybe I'll be able to score a 7" Scorpion at a discount by someone looking to upgrade.  Their change can be my gain!
  16.     That's what passes as a "petition" these days?  Good luck getting anyone to take it seriously.
  17.   Had a feeling.  Just wanted to gauge interest.    Good deal on your haul...even the ugly one!
  18. Forget the ugly CZ pistol.  Any interest in parting with that BNIB G19? 
  19.   If you want, you can get a top brand barrel and upper (two very important parts), a good enough lower (they really are all the same), then add the rest as you go along.  My SBR started out as a bare bones basic build, now I have a Geissele trigger, KAC rails, Spikes Tactical BCG, and an EOTech on top.
  20. What's your ceiling for funds here? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk, because I felt that Oh Shoot wanted to know that particular bit of information.
  21. The 41P thing we've been ready for a while now. Just makes County Sheriff elections more important...not the worst side effect. It's annoying, but not a substantial blow by any means. Judging people incompetent to handle firearms via the Social Security Administration...once someone is screwed over by this, the gun rights groups can challenge it in court and hopefully get the whole thing thrown out if they get the right judge to hear the case. As for smart gun research, more ATF investigators & processors, you'll see the words "the President's FY 2017 budget" tied to that, and for those of you who don't study politics, trust me when I say that's as laughable as a passing of the buck can be while sounding legit. If it's on time (only one annual budget in this President's tenure has been passed before the start of the fiscal year), there is still a Republican Congress that would have to pass the FY 2017 budget, and they can just cut out line items as they see fit. This is where the appropriations subcommittees in the House and in the Senate have the biggest role and where the real fight is. I really doubt that there is even a FY 2017 budget passed before the election. If I had to make a bet right now, I'd say we have continuing resolutions that take us to about March 1st, so this President will be gone before the FY 2017 budget is enacted and it will be up to his successor, so Hillary can just copy and paste it and see how bad it gets gutted as described above. My biggest questions are how this will shake out for internet sales. Will places like PSA and Primary Arms still be able to ship to a local FFL and let them do the background check? The term "engaged in the business" seems to put the onus on them to do it, and short of me snail mailing a 4473 so they have the original signed one on file, I'm not sure how they comply if it's enforced that way. Let's face it, if they wanted to screw with gun sales, that would be the biggest way to do it. Local gun shops would cheer, as it would have more people buying from their stock, but that's about it. Not that it wouldn't have happened anyway, but I'd like to thank asshats like this guy for the whole "gun show loophole" reasoning we've been subjected to. Thanks "PRIVATE COLLECTOR" who wants 3% added to the final price for credit card purchases like a lot of other business selling guns to compensate for tight profit margins.

    Titans

    Nothing will be fixed for the Titans unless they get an offensive line that can show up on game day.  From establishing a running game, to keeping Marcus and his surprisingly frail MCL's intact while receivers work to get open, everything in offensive football begins and ends with a stout line imposing their will on the defense.   No less than top three rounds of the draft should be focused on that, and they need to look at trading out of the #1 pick to beef up the total number of picks they get to get depth and make training camp a real fight for a job on the o-line.
  23. I would have ordered a few for my cousin. He loves his .40S&W Shield.
  24.   In that scenario, they will simply decide you are "in business" and there could be tack on charges for misfiling taxes, or tax evasion for not reporting income from sales on a separate form.  Forget the Army, the FBI, or anything else, the IRS is the real enforcement arm of the federal government.
  25. I wonder how many people have me blocked. :P
