I guess your ideal government is one that doesn't reach across the isle, do business in the open, or allow free speech... America as we know it is ****ed. Time to stock up on ammo... What are you going to do with the ammo? If you fill out the federal form honestly, you won't be able to buy a handgun. This is just the sort of imbalanced jerk that psychological tests for gun ownership should ferret out as a threat to himself and others. Unfortunately, there is no psychological testing for suitability to buy a firearm. There is a short federal form and in Maryland another form, and there are a couple of questions through which one is supposed to reveal any emotional disorder/domestic violence/felony background. In Maryland, the state imposes a 10-day waiting period for handguns, but there is no waiting period for long guns or shotguns. In other states, like Virginia, there is the infamous "gun show loophole," through which any private seller can, without an exchange of any paperwork, sell a firearm to nutcases like JustHate. I would support a genuine psychological test for anyone who wants to buy a firearm, and also some sort of license that could be yanked permanently or temporarily in case of conviction for a violent misdemeanor or felony, or in case of onset of certain psychological disorders. A yanked license would of course mean the sale within 30 days of any operable firearms the license holder has in possession. I appreciate the fact that I live in a state that is fairly strict about possession of firearms. I have a couple of concealed carry permits. The one I have from my home state required the jumping through of a number of difficult hoops. One of my others required nothing more than the payment of a fee and the ability to fog a mirror. |
