I could accept and understand exceptions for in-family "gifts". How about selling it to your neighbor? Nope. I don't know how it works in other states but here in MA a background check is done when you apply for a permit. Once issued, it is good for six years after which you apply for a renewal and a check is done again. During the time you hold the permit a quick state check (via phone or computer) is done by the FFL dealer whenever you purchase a firearm to ensure the permit is still in good standing and has not been revoked for any reason. Private sales may be made to other MA residents by going on-line, providing both his and your permit numbers, the firearm type and serial number and current addresses. If no issues, you are done and the sale is legal. |

If there is a will, or a loophole, there is a way ... like Harry driving to Virginia to get an otherwise illegal cache of hi cap magazines. I know a couple of people who could never be approved for a gun permit in MA. They wouldn't pass the background check and they really shouldn't have a gun anyway. Doesn't mean they couldn't obtain a firearm via illegal means but the fact that they know they can't legally obtain one is enough of a discouragement. They aren't "bad" people. They just shouldn't have a firearm. |

They are just "the rub of the green". How many deaths and injuries would be prevented if cell phones were totally disabled in a moving car or simply disabling those attention grabbing dash board toys? They won't even test drivers. (the ability to parallel park ain't it) These are all off limits because it would be too inconvenient. Maryland has strict cell phone/driving laws. Yet there is not a time when driving in Maryland I don't see folks talking or texting on their cell phones. It shows that a law makes no difference if it's not enforced. Most of the time that these things are tested, demonstrates that talking on a hands free phone is as distracting as using a hand held. It is not your hands that are distracted, it is your mind. I am really surprised that these "smart" dash boards are legal. If you are trying to set the options on the in car computer, you might as well be driving from the trunk. Even fiddling with a radio that you have to see to set is plenty distracting. That is why they invented the push button radio and the "wonder bar" in the first place. Does your "wonder bar" still work? :-) Seek still works on my radio if that is what you mean. It has been a feature on most radios since they stopped having tuning knobs. (solid state tuner) Old car radios had some odd components that kids would find funny now-a-days. I still remember vacuum tube car radios that had "vibrators" in them. The vibrator converted the 6vdc and later 12vdc battery power to chopped DC which could then be treated as AC and transformed up and rectified to the operating voltages required for the tubes. Killed batteries fast though if you weren't running the engine. |

Texting is another. I see people staring at their cell phone while their thumb is going crazy on it. They do stop for a second when I hold the horn down while right next to them. But then they just give me the finger and continue. With all the gun totin going on up there, you're lucky you don't get shot. Remember, Harry doesn't live far from you. You don't want to antagonise him. Keep your eyes peeled for his little blue truck. Nah. I only shoot inanimate, dead objects. You and Herring may be brain dead, but that doesn't count. That would be comforting if we didn't know you are a compulsive liar. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
