Like free software. There’s a reason they want to give it to you.

Federal Law prohibits them from requiring that information so they try to entice the gullible to comply.

Anybody that can’t afford a lock (which Federal Law requires the seller provide for a new gun, anyway) shouldn’t be able to afford a gun, IMO.

I would send a list of at least 1200 firearms, but only ask for one lock.

Send in a request for a lock on a 155mm Howitzer.

Why not a program like "cash for clunkers"

Trade in those rusty 22's for something more powerful.

Ridiculous.

Of course, it is comical now. Wait until they take their next measure, which will be increasingly tyrannical and extreme.

It should be 100% clear to anyone who has been paying remote attention that Obama and his administration will at some point declare the ownership of firearms as "restricted" for veterans, anyone who ever had insomnia, anyone who ever took a mild anti-depressant, etc.

I have a drawerful of ‘em. Brand new, never been used. :-)

Happy to give ‘em away to anyone who wants/needs one and you don’t need to tell me what for.

Well, when they come to get ‘em, I’ll probably be up waiting. :-)

Doesn't seem a little odd to send you a letter asking for your address? Kind of like IT asking you to email them if your computer isn't working.

For entertainment, you could list some very nasty weapons, (I need a trigger lock for my RPG), give them your liberal neighbor's address and then watch the show when the BATF shows up.
