We need to do background checks on certain classes of people....Like Registered Democrats.

We always knew it was you Ed. But you always blamed the ficticious gunsmith, old Ed Lander for your desecrations.

As far as your concessionary gun control proposals... read what Doug just said. "It's not realistic, unfortunately. You know all the reasons." So I'm done wasting time on silly nonsense.

Aaaahhhh yeeessss- the old blacksmith's trick-a piece of steel or iron near the forge- before you pick it up with your hands, piss on it (or spit, if there are women present) and if it steams and sizzles, best be reaching for the old tongs-

foxie: interesting quench method you suggest...too bad our old friend tony is no longer with us...he would get quite a chuckle out of your post...

just shipped a parker shotgun made in 1922, for a gentleman who was born in 1922...and yes, federal law requires that this fine gun and any others made after 1898 must be shipped to an ffl if going out of state...this is ridiculous!


we need to amend the firearms acts of 1968 and 1993 to exclude firearms and their purchasers made prior to ww2.

Whoa, hold up that package. Did you get a background check on that ninety-two year old. Just kidding, I know you got an exemption for the guns and customers that you like.

Just curious Ed, what is your reasoning here. What logic? Is there a particular date that, before which, guns are not too deadly??

Or is it more that these old guns are more your personal bailiwick and so who gives a crap about others as long as your little corner of the gun world is exempt from the onerous conditions imposed by the gun grabbers?

Canvasback,
Not to take over the question, the law excludes guns made before Jan 1, 1899 from the requirements, as antiques.I understand, Canadian law doesn't make this distinction.

I know, Mike. It just seems to me that Ed's ambition to have that exemption extended is based on a self serving desire to make HIS activities easier, not some kind of sensible logic about firearms regulations. And in the process throw the second amendment and millions of gun owners under the bus.

just to clarify, the 91 year old firearm mentioned above that was made in 1922, was shipped to an ffl dealer, as per the firearms act of 1968. that dealer will do a background check on the 91 year old purchaser of that firearms in compliance with the gun control act of 1993... my point is that after an individual reaches a certain age, they should be exempt from some of these draconian knee jerk firearms laws...if we find that 70 year old plus guys and gals are going out and committing crimes with their 70 year old plus firearms, then we can always regulate them again...somehow, I don't think that is necessary now, then or in the future.
