    And how long has this been going on ? You’d think by now, maybe, just maybe the idea that firearm rights are not absolute is correctly applied.

    Ok, some want AR15s to play soldier. Really, they are a ridiculous self defense weapon unless...one is afraid of the neighborhood wild boar attacks. Really, you can’t buy ammo and guns elsewhere ? Criminals can. That means anyone can.

    Wait, tyranny is having the govt tell you to stay at home and not go to work while they throw socialized payments at you.

    we have a stay at home, I bought sprinkler parts, a 6 pack, an anniversary card and some nail trimmers yesterday. so ya. they dont mean a thing.

    NRA has a right to sue, LGS are still open in Florida but they are pretty cleaned out. it's been like black friday for a month in the stores.

    Yes, confirming what I said about no teeth...

    I'm finding out the NRA is finding local dealers as partners in the lawsuits (NY and CA), so that makes sense.... Somebody who is potentially suffering damages. Not sure why that wasn't reported originally.

    So you are telling us gun stores in FLORIDA are empty??

    Now THAT's Breaking News...

    Thus demonstrating an absence of actual knowledge relating to the subject of firearms, either specific to certain types, or otherwise in general.

    Should the above statement be interpreted as encouraging another to engage in criminal behavior?

    My local one limits the number in to 10, and that is in keeping with orders.

    Gun dealers are supported indirectly by their arms being bought and/or used by criminals. There isn’t much separation between the nra and criminal intent. They even had a convicted felon for a president. Anything for the cause .

    Really, it’s perfectly legal in many states to follow the same path as criminals in acquiring guns and ammo. No one is federally required to background check anyone in privates sales. No one. The law making it illegal for felons to purchase a firearm, is the same as a speed limit sign on a road that law enforcement is prevented from monitoring. Yes, normally legal people can drive that same road without fear of getting caught, simply by pretending not to look at their Speedo. By pretending they don’t know the status of someone, they can deal.....with anyone.

    So, if you are not one of the 10 currently in, are you waiting in a line (bad) or going home and trying again later?

    Still think there are some potential holes there, but you gotta do what you gotta do...

    empty of products, not empty of people, unless you want some oddball rounds.

    A friend that works in one said there was a 30+ minute wait just to see a salesman

    I had no need to visit myself, I've seen shortages before and addressed that issue some time ago, before the tragic boating accident where it was all lost at sea.

    A claim that cannot actually be proven on the part of yourself, and is even bordering upon libel.

    Yet another claim that cannot actually be proven on the part of yourself.

    False. The convictions of Oliver North were overturned and vacated on appeal, with the assistance of the ACLU, nearly three decades before he ever received his position. As far as the legal system is concerned, Oliver North is not a convicted felon.

    The ATF is not even prosecuting known felons who attempted to acquire firearms from federally licensed dealers. Despite having documented evidence that these individuals knowingly committed perjury in an attempt to acquire a firearm, the ATF simply will not go after them except in extremely rare circumstances.

    Thus indicating the united states federal government does not actually care whether prohibited individuals actually possess firearms or not.

    You being in agreement with liberal gun laws is fine. I respect your opinion. Just don't claim that dems are defenders of the constitution. That is a false statement. Like you already admitted, these laws only help criminals and harm law abiding citizens.

    They represent their members, and gun stores, who are plaintiffs in this injustice.

    I disagree.

    Good for the NRA, my favorite civil rights organization.

    If they had any integrity they'd be involved too.

    That was the intent of the 2A, to protect against a tyrannical government, it wasn't about duck hunting. We've had our hands full in Afghanistan against a bunch of savages with AKs and homemade bombs.

    Re:
    Hoplophobes are not commonly regarded as experts in determining what is an appropriate self defense weapon for people whose situations vary considerably. In other words, the threats that an apartment building resident may face are entirely different than those a farm owner is likely to encounter and you are very unlikely to be qualified to advise either.

    Thanks for finally admitting that gun control laws do nothing to deter criminals from acquiring guns, ammunition or both. What makes you think that additional "feel good, do nothing" gun control laws would be any more effective?

    Yes, they represent local gun stores, which meets jurisdiction... original article didn't mention that, but I should have assumed...

    The NRA is to civil rights organization as Peter Navarro is to scientist...

    Don't worry.... your current bunker stock will get you through....most likely...

    Like it or not, the SCOTUS had stated there is an individual right to bear arms in the Heller case. That makes it a civil rights issue. Race hustlers aren't the only civil rights organizations.
