I think (know) Santa is bringing me a NAA Guardian this year :)

there right ! under the christmas tree is no place for a handgun... I keep mine loaded and in my nightstand drawer!

Feh, you already beat me to the joke.

Belongs under the tree and the stocking in my house. Get over it!

I really do hate to disagree with you but the original box for a new Taurus .357 9 shot revolver will not fit in a stocking unless the person hanging the stocking puts up Panty hose. Neither will the box for a new Sig M2 .45 acp fit in my stocking so I guess under the tree carefully wrapped is the best alternative. Snubbies, however are exellent stocking stuffers, as are ammunition and holsters.

Stay well 0 stay safe - stay armed - Merry Christmas

C-4 can be used for chimney cleaning so santa doesn't get sooty.

Back when I was single I put up panty hose by the chimney every year.

Stupid Santa only put candy and stuff in there...

Actually, a "Laugh alert" may have been more appropriate for this article. What a joke.

"Don't put a handgun under the tree / For anyone else but me."

"The BATF regulates ALL firearms designs sold in the US. Unlike the CPSB, the criteria that the BATF uses is mandatory and must be met BEFORE the firearm design is approved for sale to consumers in the US."

This may be true for imported firearms but it is not true for guns manufactured here. The ATF regulates the firearm industry to ensure that the requirements of federal law are met. Things like serial numbers and minimum barrel lengths etc. Under federal law an individual can even manufacture a handgun, rifle or shotgun (Title 1 firearm) for personal use without a FFL as long as you give it a serial number and it meets legal requirements like barrel length and bore size.

I do have to wonder how many of these self appointed anti-Second Ammendment clowns will purchase for their teenager nothing but the most powerfull high speed projectile a teenager can operate? It alone is the number one cause of teenage injuries and deaths and doesn't begin to approach that of natural illnesses or weapons as a cause of such. Most highschool kids in America do not have a class mate a year killed by a gun. Even the smallest highschools though usually loose at least one student a year to an automobile accident.

Yea I bet these self appointed it's for the children and a safer world anti-gun clowns think nothing of purchasing hi-powered automobiles for teenagers. Afterall we can't let our child be seen driving anything less than what is the best preformance. The typical teenager with neither the skills nor maturity to handle them. Once a vehice leaves the 60 mph speed range steering becomes more or less aiming on many of our nations hi-ways. Yet their silence is deafening on the matter.

Hand this to the face of the next anti-gun zealot who starts spouting gun death statistics and listen to them choke on their words. Do they propose we all walk too? Bicycles kill as well especially those with gear ratios that allow speeds in above 40 mph. Yep them killer bikes gotta go too.

Merry Christmas Son enjoy your new car.
