Boston: "We have gun powder purchase laws here"

i suppose that if you bought gunpowder in mass. recently that your name is now on an interested person list and that is wrong.

gun registries like the new one in NY are evil.
 
Apparently, for the first time in my life....

...(and you heard this from me directly) I am wrong.

I know, I know....It is hard to believe.

Here is what happened:

Last time I was in FL (Late March of this year) I was sitting in my hotel eating breakfast and half listening to the news.

The talking head was saying something about a vote the previous day in the FL legislature that had something to do with firearms.

I asked the hotel wheenie if it was a ban on high cap magazines and he said, "Yes"

End of that piece of data.

Next, I visited one of the shops that I always go to when I am in FL (at least once per month) and there was a conversation among the people in the shop that centered on the recent vote in the FL legislature about firearms. I didn't hear much of it because I was too busy drooling over my next rifle. (Uberti Sharps .45-70)

Now, I have gone to the internet and I am unable to find any record of a vote in the FL legislature about magazine capacity limitations.
 
I just read kwhi43's post about BP in the bomb. Just to show media hype, here in PA we had a talking head "explaining" how the bomber spent thousands buying "bullets" to disassemble to get powder to make the bombs. Yeah... if he knows all this, maybe he should turn the bomber in. And some wonder why we stockpile.
 
"Hell, at some point I fully expect to have to produce a card to purchase ammo or components"

In Massachusetts we have been required to do so for years. Yes, for Black Powder, caps and lead balls.
 
Just got a E-mail from the NMLRA alerting everybody about a bill that was just
proposed that would require background checks on any amount of blackpowder bought as well as subs, and smoleless powder. This from a demecrat from NJ.
 
Yeah, it's Senator Lautenberg again. We had a problem in the military a few yrs ago. there was a "Lautenberg amendment" which basically was if you ever were involved in a domestic violence incident, you couldn't possess a firearm. It didn't specify what the incident was, it could be you were arguing loud and ****** off the neighbors. Unfortunately, that would mean about 50% of the military and quite a big percentage I'm sure of Law enforcement would not be able to handle their service weapons. This got shelved and I never heard anything about it again, but I remember the commanders discussing the ramifications of it all. Sen Lautenberg is, for lack of a better word, a goober.
 
When I was in MA they changed the law. My neighbor said "I went to sleep with a Remington shotgun in the closet and woke up with an assault weapon in the closet." He then had to go have his fingerprints and mugshot taken and his info was placed on the state criminal database with all of the murderers, rapists, burglars, and robbers. I never registered my firearms nor did I ever apply for an FID. When I got there it was $2 for life. After the change it was $25/year plus all of the registration requirements.

A person who wants to buy a Ramset gun and loads in MA has to have an FID.
 
I hope it leads to effective legislation controlling the ever expanding distribution of pressure cookers.

All pressure cookers need to be registered, purchasers to undergo back ground checks, felons and people with high cholesterol to be banned from ownership, and a limit of one pressure cooker a month instated.

I will feel much safer when this happens.
 
I second Slamfire and I also believe that it should be illegal to sell or own any pressure cooker larger that 4 quarts and that you should be required to take a "pressure cooker safety class" before you can purchase one so you will know what to do if it blows up in yer kitchen and covers the ceiling with string beans.

As to background checks, if the gubment keeps buying ammo at the rate they presently are there won't be any need for background checks or for guns either. Around here reloading supplies are every bit as scarce as cartridges. This is not as far fetched as it sounds. Check to see how much ammunition is manufactured annually world wide. Estimates are around 14 billion rounds a year. Then figure a buck a round which is far more that Sam pays and you will see that Uncle Sam can consume every piece if he so desires. Hell, Bernake just has to fire up the presses to print the dough to pay for it. Chump change. No problem!
 
i wonder if they will also now want to do back ground checks for anyobne bying Radio controlled Planes , cars or radios

I'm waiting now for them to limit or restrict loading components. It's going to happen and I think soon.

It'll only happen if you let it happen.

Don't give in to their stupidity.

Never stop fighting, or they'll take everything you've got.

Guys, the founders never considered the possibility of a person being able to walk into a store and purchase a pound of black powder right off the shelf when they wrote the constitution.

Well of course not. In those days, it was called gunpowder.
 
well, it turns out the bombers were chechans. Yup, same Islamists who have been blowing things up in Russia for years. Gun control, how about immigration control?
 
Sorry, perhaps I should have been more clear. I was only trying to say that there is no specific "ammo" license. The three types of gun permits are in fact needed to purchase all "ammo". However, no license is needed to have primers, blackpowder, RBs and muzzle loading weapons.

You haven't been to Cabelas or Bass pro lately ?
or even mail order.... nothing on the shelf to buy...
( at least in my parts)
 
I still can't believe some people in the media in the entertainment field and also in politics somehow tried to lay blame on the NRA and gunowners for what has happened in Boston. It is becoming pathetic.
 
Its the "Big Lie" theory postulated in Mein Kampf nearly 80 years ago. Repeat the same lie loud enough and often enough and the uninformed and uneducated will begin to believe it. And don't foreget, according to Washington and main stream media, we're all borderline terrorists, bitterly clinging to an outmoded and outdated set of values and life styles.
