I find it amusing to note that most of the people who voted for the background check scheme also voted to legalize marijuana.

Marijuana use makes you a prohibited possessor.

Anyone who voted for both and uses marijuana has voted to NEVER be permitted to buy a gun.

BTW, since the background check scheme imposes a greater burden on certain minorities, I expect it to be struck down the first time it gets to the state Supreme Court.

What greater burden is that?
Are certain minorities asked questions that the majority are not?
Are certain minorities asked to provide any documentation that the majority are not?
Are certain minorities asked to meet any standards that the majority are not?

Another gun control initiative to limit magazine capacity.

This:

Little by little, inch by inch...

From the article, which is merely an editorial: "...it’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which someone would need a 100-round magazine to protect their home from intruders."

and

"...states that have imposed restrictions still allow for 10- or 15-round versions, which would be an acceptable model for Nevada."

Now, I have to ask, why 10-15 when it appears the scare tactic likes the 100 number? I mean, so why not 99 round mags? If they are saying there is no reason to have 100 round mags then 99 must be okay? Otherwise, they need to say the 16-21 round mags are too much. But of course we all know that too is BS.

And as far as hard to imagine, really? I was in a bar the other day where 15 bikers decked out in colors and long knives on their belts walked in and I thought to myself I sure hope that if something does go down that I don't miss because I only have 18 rounds in the gun and another 17 on my belt and I know for a fact that one shot from a 9mm seldom takes down a bad guy with just one shot. Ah, but silly me. There I go trying to explain logic to the illogical. "Illogical" being those that make laws and claims about topics they know nothing about. It's like me making rules about women's cycles. Apparently knowledge of the subject is not needed. That is the anti-2a way. :banghead:

Oh and the article talks about tanks and planes as if though those don't require human controllers who, in an all crap hits the fan scenario, can use their firearms to take control of those. Gee whiz :banghead:

It's enough to give you the impression that anti-2a folks skipped right over 2A when recognizing the PEOPLE's rights....because they have.

DVC,

What prevents me as NV resident absent any Arizona law from driving to Mesquite, crossing into Arizona, pull off road, give "Bill" my rifle, Bill gives me $329, we drive to Mesquite, have lunch and then go back home to Vegas.

IF, the law does "actually" go into effect, I wonder if my scenario is "legal". IANAL.

And NSA, kiss my ASS.

I think that this would be OK .. I think that the courts have ruled that selling your rifle to another in a different state is OK.

my state has the same thing ... they think that they can regulate how I sell my property. What do I think?
