I must admit I am confused by your arguments. You like background checks but then imply that the linked article is trying to draw to light the fact that in many states face to face transactions are legal WITHOUT a background check.
Are you pro background check for new guns and anti background checks for used?
For new guns, I see the check more as a burden for the FFL. And that's ok because he's making a profit, and so he should have some responsiblity for the transaction, a cost of doing business.
For used guns between individuals, I don't think there's a good solution that won't create a costly middleman or make used guns harder to sell. What's the difference between an illegal face to face sale and falsely reporting a firearm stolen?
I dunno. just a rough idea. not sure i'm set in it.

so you are telling me your constitutional rights need to be revoked for traffic tickets???? are you frucking shitting me?????????????
wall street has been reporting on the increase in federal felony violations since the founding of the country. we went from like a few to hundreds, if not thousands....
and guess what, sometimes, you can be denied a nix check for domestic violence, butt that doesnt necessarily mean you cant posesses firearms, so what good does the check do then???? i appreciate ya playing devils advocate. but in the war of freedom vs govt meddling, freedom should always win
In those cases, it was the fact that there was an outstanding warrant on the gun buyer, not so much the offense. If you have a warrant for traffic violations, you turn yourself in, pay the fines or arrange to pay them, and then you can buy your gun.
The domestic violence guy probably won't have it so easy. States can take away the guns of individuals implicated in domestic violence until the matter is resolved. This is controversial, of course. Like GunFun was saying, DV matters can result in forefeiture of guns and guns rights even without convictions.

know what nix does, wastes tax payer dollars. gee, do felons walk into gunstores and ask themself, will i get approved today??? HELL NO!!
Twice I've been in a shop when someone trying to buy a gun checked out positive for outstanding warrants. One guy was wanted for traffic violations. He was no big deal. The other guy was wanted for domestic violence. He did not leave quietly. The checks are necessary, and, by itself, form 4473 is only good for getting a set of fingerprints.
I agree with your sentiment -- guns should be easy to buy for good citizens. Recently my city asked the state to limit handgun sales to 1 per month, and, the moment I found out, I emailed my representative.
But doing away with background checks is no good. You should worry instead about advances like this, from msnbc.com front page today: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/46316454/ns/today-today_rossen_reports/

so is there anything constitutional about the background check?? fuck no there isnt...
As if they could even do a background check when the constitution was drafted
I cherish gun rights, but I'm also not going follow a literal interpretation or assume that most people nowadays are even remotely what the drafters would call citizens.
Some of you must not live in cities.

NICS =p is a good thing. The problem is that the database is not thorough enough, and states should be feeding more data into it. If Paul would really do away with NICS, he's a reckless bastard.

I picked up some Kemen brand (made in Spain) .410 7.5 shot 2.5" shells for $6 a box of 25 at a local outdoor store. Cheapest I have found. Some of the brass swells and are a little hard to get out of the Judge, but it is heck of a lot cheaper for target practice and training purposes. Have no idea if it would cycle in a Saiga or not, but that is about the same price as Wally World bulk.
2.5" is good for the 4 round factory mag, that's about it.
-
Ammo cost really cut into how much I could practice with and enjoy my 410, and I couldn't see a reasonable solution. I ended up selling it and rebuilding my collection around relatively cheap and readily available (always at Walmart) formats: 22lr, 9mm, 12 gauge, and .223/5.56. I'll cough up for 308 for deer hunting.

Any advice about this would be greatly appreciated! I've bought and sold a couple things from Ebay before, but have not sold a gun online yet...
Schultze has some good info.
I've sold one gun through Gunbroker and bought two. I've also sold a couple guns through this forum. Haven't had any problems so far, knock on wood.
As an individual seller, I would make sure of a few things:
1) take photos of your gun for the auction and for your records
2) make it clear in the auction that the gun is sold as-is and once it transfers, it's non-returnable, non-refundable
3) get complete payment in a non-disputable form (read: deposit it in your bank account and don't do discreet Paypal with strangers) before you ship anything.
4) be as prompt and thorough with everything -- communication, payment, shipping -- as you possibly can. Basically, Golden Rule.
As an individual buyer, I would take a hard look at feedback and purchase through credit card. I seem to recall Gunbroker offers $500 of purchase protection on every transaction. Don't take my word on that, though.

Just use Hornady 40gr V-Max ammo. The 40gr V-Max will dump all of its energy within 9". Chances for over penetration is very unlikely with that ammo. It's my home defense load of choice. If it progresses outside I have a mag of XM855 to punch holes through their getaway car.
Thanks -- I'll look into it -- cheaper than frangible i hope?

Nice little vid. I learned how to use the tool kit in the military. Never thought much about it and guess I took for granted that most people understood how to use it.
When I got my first Saiga, I wondered about the purpose of all the holes in the tube container. I had a hunch that the AK was supposed to be pretty self-contained, and I figured the holes were purposeful, but it wasn't intuitive for me. Needed a video like this to fully spell it out.
Later when I got an Arsenal and I could store the handy tube in the buttstock, it occurred to me that the AK is absolutely awesome -- a MacGyver gun. It probably won't ever be quite as practical as my shotgun for home defense, or my subcompact for concealed carry, but I can definitely see why it's a true rebel's gun. I'll always have room for one in my gun cabinet.

Use the tube that has the cleaning stuff in it.
There is a slot on the tube that will slip over
the lever and make it much easer to got it to move.
Here's a video that explains how cool the AK Cleaning Kit really is:

but we have never seen such a vehicle offered because we are a bunch of stupid consumerist sheeple who don't know any better and won't demand more for our money.
I believe you are bothered by planned obsolescence. Me too. I try to buy with durability and longevity in mind. It's getting harder and harder to do.. I don't think it's even possible anymore with some goods, like anything that revolves around a processor and portability.
That said, I like my Honda CRV.

Argh. Wish this had gone up last week. Really nice price.

While in a gunshop the other day, I overheard a father "teaching" his son about different types of guns. At one point in the lesson, the father pointed out a shotgun on the rack, didn't recognize it, and asked the storekeeper,"What's this one?" To which the storekeeper replied,"It's a Beretta." The father looked puzzled and replied, "Beretta makes shotguns?"
I laughed out loud from an aisle over.
Of course salesme
n can be bad, but being around such customers all day can't help either.

I am hopeful Kimber will work the bugs out to the point where I don't need to worry at all about getting a lemon. I'll give it a year or so. Maybe it'll make my, "What's you're first gun of 2013?".
The Mrs. shoots left handed so it's a promising CCW for her with the Ambi controls. Her eyes are turning the the Beretta Nano at the moment...
Yeah, I think just about everyone is hoping Kimber supports and refines the Solo. Some things are too big to fail, but the Solo is too cool to fail.
Beretta Nano could be an excellent choice -- I think I avoided it because I tend to think of Berettas as wide, but looking at the Nano specs, it claims to be narrower than the Solo.

I looked at one for the Mrs. It felt great in the hand. When I did a bit of online research it seemed like there were numerous folk having problems. Lots of sending it back to Kimber for repair. The other complaint was fairly harsh felt recoil. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't the gun I want her to carry. If I new it would work out of the box, I'd be $700 lighter.
Yep, read the same stories. Pretty much every review is the same: feels great, looks great, very tight fit, shoots incredibly accurately for its barrel size. But then there's the darkside: lots of returns to kimber for servicing -- worn finish, FTF/Es, complaints about limited ammo variety, complaints about magazine capacity and high-cap mag availability...
Here's what's true: It's the highest-quality and arguably best-looking subcompact 9mm you can buy (is it the only modern one with a non-poly frame?), but it might have some bugs. The finish does indeed wear easily at particular spots: behind the slide release, at mag insert, on the slide rails. When the Solo shoots, it kicks and bites. But once you get your grip right, it's good out to 25 yards. It works best with 124gr and 147gr, but it can run many 115gr just fine -- my best results have been with Federal so far, but I'm gonna try out some Aguila this weekend. Kimber is very understanding of any issues with the new model -- it's unlike any gun they've made before. I put in an email to their customer service about wear on the finish (the only problem I've encountered so far), and they replied I could send it in whenever at Kimber's expense for a complete check-up. The extended mags are supposed to be out later this month, and night sights sometime after that. I'm looking forward to working towards concealed carry with it.
It's a very high quality gun with tight tolerances. If you can be patient and understanding of those things, it's a great pistol. If you need something proven, I'd go with a Kahr. I'll post if I change my mind after this weekend!

Maybe some sort of Talo revolver. A set of birdsheads would be pretty cool heirloom.

Got the Kimber Solo for Christmas, but the remaining list for 2012 is:
Shotgun:
Benelli M2 or Saiga 12
Rifle:
Zastava MP Mannlicher in 17HMR and/or LK M70 in 308 (Battue, if possible), or a Ruger Gunsite Scout
Pistol:
S&W 2213, Ruger SP101 in 22LR, and a fuller-size 9mm, not sure what, maybe a Beretta 90-Two.
Kimber Solo, by the way is pretty damn nifty. I've run 220 rounds through it without problems.

Bump. Price now $299.

For sale:
(1) Pentax *ist DS Digital SLR Camera
* Includes factory 18-55 lens, compatible Promaster 70-300 lens, carrying case, USB cable and flash card
* from 2004, but in like-new condition, always babied
* great starter SLR, nice ergonomics, battery efficient
Not really sure how to price this -- it's a great camera, in great condition with many years left. But it's a little behind the times technologically. The 70-300 lens is worth $100 alone. Asking $250, somewhat negotiable. Might trade for the right 22LR, 9mm, or 12 gauge.

I've seen a bottle like one of those as part of the cleaning kit for a Margolin pistol.
