Believe as you will.



Well, I am not a NRA member and have no compelling reason to become one.
However, based on what I've read and heard it seems to me that the
modern NRA is a lobbying influence with the goal of obstructing almost
*all* efforts that relate to gun control, gun limitations or any other
measures that puts federal government control over what they interpret
in the 2nd Amendment. I suspect this obstruction is based on the
"slippery slope" theory that once a precedence is established, more
control becomes easier.

I am not sure I totally buy Harry's claim that they are simply a
lobbying arm for gun manufacturers. Gun manufacturers may benefit from
the NRA activities, for sure and I am sure they support NRA activities,
financially and otherwise but I don't believe that is the primary
function of the NRA.

Of course you can circumvent that by driving over to a Virginia
gun show
and buying whatever you want out without even bothering with the
instant
NICS check.

Save your gas money.
There are guys in Calvert County that will sell you a gun in a private
sale.

Start here

That is just one of several sites I found in a quick look


I would hope the smarter boys there handle their private sale
transactions through an FFL.

So would the smarter boys in Virginia. What's your point?
It is still legal not to do so in Maryland for rifles and shotguns.
Dealers need to record all transactions, even private ones, no matter
what state they live in or do business in so that is not a factor at
all.
I doubt the gang bangers in Baltimore or the DC suburbs care about any
of this and they are the ones doing most of the killing.


Do yoy think the DC city streets are safe enough for Harry's woman to
be doing daily walk abouts?


Yup. She's safe.

Why hasn't law enforcement bought millions of these guns?

Why would they want to have guns that can be disabled with a simple RF
noise generator, or sun spots, or an iphone app or any number of things.

Well, see? There you go!

I'd still like to see how the NRA 'won't allow it'. Seems like BAO and jps have something in common.
Making up **** to fit their agenda.

You made several bull**** points. They were meaningless. Your French is excused. Your points were
bull****...unexcuseable.

NRA buys lists and solicits names on those lists for new suckers, er,

solicitations. I'd put them in an envelope and mail them back to the
NRA, sans postage. I don't know if they got back to the NRA,
postage-due, but I sure hope so. Wayne LaPierre and his buddies are thugs.
