“I’ve never had to register a gun. I don’t believe it has ever been required in my state. I don’t believe that it ever will be.”
You must live in a free state. Congratulations.
A couple of years ago, a new Texas resident, just moved here from Massachusetts or some other state in the NE zone of tyranny, was looking at a handgun in a local gun store. He asked what he had to do to buy one in Texas and how long it would take. He was told, show your drivers license, fill out an ATF 4473, and if you pass the telephone instant check, you just pay the money and take the gun right now.
He wouldn’t believe the shop owner, me, or several other customers. He almost ran out of the store, thinking he was in a den of lawbreakers who were trying to get him in trouble.
None of this Red State/Blue State stuff for me. There are Free States and the Zone of Tyranny.
Good story.
A while back I was in a local shop purchasing a semiauto rifle. Another guy came in and started looking around at some of the semiautos. He ended up wanting to buy a semiauto 22 cal. (from Windham Weaponry).
He watched the owner make the call on my purchase, box up my rifle, hand me a box of free ammo, etc. I was just standing around and shooting the bull with the owner when the guy who wanted the 22 handed his drivers license over. The owner said “Sorry, you can’t walk out with this today”. The guy was from Mass.
