Not bad for the whole deal John. I'll ask my brother about where he got his and see if it came with the whole kit. Pricing too

I have a son-in-law who loves guns. Might make him a nice Christmas
present.

Dick would make it illegal for you to give it to him.



Not at all. If John's son-in-law has had a background check, is legally
permitted to own a firearm and the serial number is registered in his
name upon transfer... all is good.

None of which is required, although I'll probably have a transfer record for myself. This: http://www.beararms.com/PDF/FTUP.pdf



To me, (and understanding it's a federal law), this is just plain dumb.

What's dumb? That I would give the gun to my son-in-law without
requiring he go through a federal background check? Does federal law
not permit that? What law? Maybe I'm reading your sentence wrong.

I believe everyone who owns a gun should be licensed or permitted.
Ya, I know the criminals don't bother but you aren't a gun criminal
until you use one in a crime.

Licenses or permits should be issued following a background check and a
formal safety course. Guns should be registered by serial number to the
owner with records in a national or state data base. Transfers should be
updated to the data base.

Please don't tell me about growing up in North Dakota or Texas or some
wild west place and having a .22 rifle since you were knee-high to a
grasshopper. This isn't the 1800's.

That's fine. We simply disagree.


John, I am expressing my opinion that the federal law that permits
transfer of firearms to unlicensed people is dumb. Not you.

Why should I be licensed in order to exercise one of my unalienable and
civil rights?


Just another way to control those who don't have theirs yet... Like I
said, most liberals draw the line right under what they already have or
at their level. Most liberals would be all for giving guns away without
checks and such, if it was something they did themselves... or had
reason to. If they don't, they think nobody else should either.. Think,
harry krause...
