Just getting a license to own a full auto legal weapon is a pretty arduous process, unless things have changed these days.

You would be screened on several levels I'm pretty sure.

No it is not. The process is no different than purchasing a silencer or SBR. And no, there is no "license" involved.

Have never turned my Contender into a SBR myself. Well, kinda.


Right....

Things must have changed over the years if it is that easy to get a full auto weapon these days.

There used to be a license required.

Where is a pic of your new PPK John ?

You'll just google one I imagine.

Not a license, but a stamp for a class 4 weapon. The problem is most cops have no clue about the laws and flip out if you own one. Typically, they confiscate the weapon till someone smarter than them gives it back to you.

It's amusing DCal430 thinks you can buy an belt fed M16 on a whim. Don't think he/she (SJW?) realizes how ignorant their posts are. If you're going to argue effectively, at least understand your subject matter and the existing laws.

I like the whole banning guns would reduce poverty argument, that one is particularly tone deaf. Seriously, can someone explain that to me?

Question for you pro gun nuts, do you have fantasies about killing people with your gun.
I'm having a fantasy about slapping you through your monitor screen.

*SLAP* *SLAP* *slapslapslap*

Ahhh! I feel much better now.

Disregarding the obvious insult for now, I'll tell you that I don't give this amendment or any of the other ones much thought in my day to day activities. Usually I don't sit around imagining what religion I'll belong to today, how many soldiers I don't have to quarter in my house, or how search warrants and probable cause work. Maybe I should.

You are the only one talking about mass murder here. What is it about guns that make you so scared of them, yet so obsessed? Why do you keep on having opinions and feelings about them, without managing to learn one single thing?

I still want to buy my belt fed M16 and kill hundreds of people in seconds, LOL.

DCal430, that's some delusional stuff, are you even an adult?

Naw, just like to see scared little liberals wet their pants when they see my gun.

So you followed a troll post with another troll post. Well played... I'm a liberal and a pro gun nut so you have both managed to insult me. Thanks.

The real question is, why spend 5800+ posts building a persona, only to blow it by over-trolling in a little thread like this one? Good run, but you can come out now.

I am not talking about being unlawful, I want two guns to keep my house and property protected.
All that other stuff is in the past, the cops gave me back my pistol and after having to go through all of that stuff I was turned off by guns- I gave the pistol to my cousin Now years later I want a few pistols because we get a lot strange folks around here and some of them might be dangerous.

Didn't even know there is a belt fed M-16 lulz.


That's a lot of Pew Pew.

Ruger aren't Lugers BTW either John

Go to a gun store and try to buy one then.

Sounds you would be fine, they will run a background check.

If you were never convicted of a Felony, I would not see a problem.

Instead of asking here why don't you call your local PD?

There is a background check website. It costs like $8 for one search. I can't remember the name now.

Hey, if you want to take advice from a guy who doesn't even know what a Luger is, knock yourself out I guess.

What are you, in your 50's? because you constantly sound like a god damn 12 year old. Why don't you grow the fuck up and stop responding to everything I post with negative, demeaning shit.

Fucking troll.

Nice table

Woosh!

Someone gave me something of similar wood design for a coffee table. The older I get the more I appreciate that its not an Ikea particle board job. I should probably take better care of it.

My grandmother gave my brother a freaking real Cherry wood large coffee table a few years ago when certain things happened. I'll just say over time i have her situated in a nice assisted living these days.

I haven't even been over there in a few years, used to about make me want to puke when I looked at the table and he would be sitting on the couch wearing a pair of work boots crossed over on it.

He could have pawned it like he has many things over his life and made some money, but didn't know any better.

It's pretty much beat to shit these days I imagine, but could be restored I guess.

It was probably about an $800 coffee table at one time.

What about the kids who shot up columbine and other shootings? Didn't they just pickup their guns at like K-mart or something? Or have they tighten things up more than they were back then?

IIRC K-mart and Wal-mart got out of the gun/ammo selling because of lawsuits. When Lawyers look at a case the first thing the examine is the "deep pockets". Even if Wal-mart had no way of knowing I was going to go ape-shit with the 12-gauge they just sold me a lawyer would threaten a lawsuit anyway claiming that the clerk "should have noticed" I was not acting normal. Now the case in court would result with Wal-mart probably winning but to avoid the costly lawyers they would probably just agree to a settlement.

There are no absolutes, and I think you would agree that "most" liberals will wet themselves at the sight of a gun.

There are more guns than people in the states. Are you saying they are only in conservative hands?

WalMart sells lots of guns and ammo, KMart stopped in 2011 or so. Why did you post this misinformation?
