I asked once. It's company policy. A CYA manuever. It's also why I no longer buy my ammo there
Hmmmmm? I live in Idaho, no such practice here. Sounds like a state to state issue.
I'll never give up my guns. Any law that says I must is illegal.
I do not own a single gun that can be traced back to me. Have always had that practice, ever since they started requiring the so called background check. It doesn't take rocket science to get around their record keeping. The criminals do it all the time.
The Supreme Court would never allow this.
(rolling eyes)
Where is the NRA on this?
I live in Texas. Plenty of other places to buy ammo. That, and I'm getting in to reloading so it'll be even cheaper. ;-)
Roberts has always had RINO tendencies...
Duly noted.
I trust the government to always do the right thing.
WRONG-O!!
We ended up with Clinton because the Republican Party ran a weak candidate that couldn't EARN enough votes.
If a party runs a strong candidate it won't matter how many 'third parties' there are.
That must be a policy at WV Wal Marts, because I've bought ammo there for years--latest purchase just a few weeks ago, in fact--and they've never scanned my drivers license, though they have occasionally asked to see it to check my age.
I'm shocked.
But you'll all vote for them again next time, won't you?
I'm in NY, so I almost invariably vote on the line of the Conservative Party, the party where Rove gave his speech, and the dems went apoplectic.
Who are we kidding? You can wipe your a** with the Constitution, because it means nothing next to the War on Whatever We Want to Control Because It's for the Children Against the Terrorists.
The government is going after one "fruitloop" at a time, until there's no one who will dare to raise arms against them. "Reasonable" people aren't going to take arms against the government, we can't get the b***ards voted out because another will take their place, and you can't be sure that what they say to get elected has a damn thing to do with what they do when they get to Washington.
Kharaku pointed out that they're taking everything away--and I understand his use of hyperbole, but I'm not so sure it's hyperbole. They can take your house. They already take your money before you see it. And now, spying on you and counting your guns is supposed to be something called The PATRIOT Act?
Maybe a new Independence Day is called for. Since even DUers can see that the eminent domain is a nightmare waiting to happen, maybe this is the time for an economic strike--no one works for a day, no one spends money for a couple of days. Would that attract attention? Will the PTB listen then?
I don't know what there is to do--voting is no guarantee, and I really don't see a time when we're going to form a militia--not that we'll have guns to fight with, or the right to assemble to even discuss it.
It can only get worse if we don't take some kind of action.
The horse has already left the barn. I, a peaceful citizen with no criminal record, cannot legally buy a gun without the government's consent. Even if I could, I could not transport it with me either by hand or in a vehicle without the consent of various state governments, depending on where I travel.
Registration here is like recording the name of the deceased after he's already buried.
Writing an essay doesn't take growing any gonads. Halting the abuses of the BAT-FE'ers would be a modest, first step in actually growing gonads.
-Antifederalist No. 46 "WHERE THEN IS THE RESTRAINT?"
As for the diminishing BoR, this is what it was supposed to do......
It is therefore not only necessarily implied thereby, but positively expressed, that the different State Constitutions are repealed and entirely done away, so far as they are inconsistent with this, with the laws which shall be made in pursuance thereof, or with treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States. Of what avail will the Constitutions of the respective States be to preserve the rights of its citizens? Should they be pled, the answer would be, the Constitution of the United States, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, is the supreme law, and all legislatures and judicial officers, whether of the General or State governments, are bound by oath to support it. No privilege, reserved by the bills of rights, or secured by the State governments, can limit the power granted by this, or restrain any laws made in pursuance of it. It stands, therefore, on its own bottom, and must receive a construction by itself, without any reference to any other. And hence it was of the highest importance, that the most precise and express declarations and reservations of rights should have been made.
Especially all you "incorperation" nit wits.

A lot of people thought Putin was crazy to dare call the US on exactly how democractic we are when the world started grumbling about rights in Russia. Fact is he's just been following the US' lead in this kind of thing. The minute the US used terrorism as an excuse to expand rights of law enforcement having nothing to do with terrorism Putin chimed in with eliminating free election of governors, and enhancing the government's support of the Russian church at the expense of protestants and Islam.
