Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
Rehberg is Montana's at large pubbie in the House. IIRC, Tester is up for re-election in 2012. I thought two or more firearms bought in 5 days already had to be reported to the BATFE, IIRC.
Yes, I remember back around 1985 I had my neighbor order 3 Swedish Mausers. He did and showed me the form he had to send to ATF. They actually ended up phoning him about it.
Only multiple purchases of pistols within 5 business days need to be reported, and only this because it was grandfathered in before the congressional ban on a national registration system.
There’s no legislative basis for this rule. The multiple-handgun reporting rule was specifically mandated by Federal legislation. Attempting to promolgatate such a rule for any other type of firearm is another example of the Obammunists doing whatever they like, and the hell with the law.
As a Federally Licensed Firearms dealer, I hope like hell the NRA will fight this if the rule goes through. I’ll also be contacting my newly elected REPUBLICAN Congressman!
From another post on this subject:
“(ATF) is moving to require federally licensed firearms retailers to report multiple sales of modern sporting rifles beginning January 5, 2011.”
January 5th? I wonder just what kind of “emergency” they are planning.
Sounds like a FIRE SALE for the long guns...
“emergency rule”
This is the standard operating procedure of this administration. Create an emergency, create a terrorist plot....create fear!!! And bingo...!!!
People will willingly allow themselves to be groped or radiated before going on a commercial flight. They will willingly give up their constitutional rights and liberties to pass The Patriot Act again. And the list goes on and on and on...interesting timing on this gun grabbing “emergency” as well.
Obama will not protect our borders and is perfectly happy to reward criminals that come into this country and yet sets out to punish law abiding US citizens by restricting their constitutional rights in the name of security.
The Socialists and Communists will never rest until every fiber of this country is destroyed along with anyone that resists. Never forget, this Administration, through the DHS, identified a large majority of the Citizens in this country as domestic terrorists.
History repeats itself...1930s Germany...
Statist control freaks who won't rest until we're all disarmed.
That was certainly the case some years ago. I bought a handgun and rifle at once, and the dealer informed me that because more than one gun was purchased, he had to report it to the BATFE.
That's for handguns. They're trying to expand that to certain long guns. I believe they're only attempting to require this of border-state dealers.
