Folks, I'm thinking of starting up a little campaign that might be of interest to you. While I feel that every law-abiding American should be free to purchase whatever firearms they want without restriction, we currently must deal with the ATF.
What I propose is something to greatly streamline the ability of us ordinary people to enjoy our hobbies while cutting out the middlemen.
I'd like to see a new class of FFL created, specifically for COLLECTORS who wish to obtain MODERN FIREARMS. This would be similar to the current C&R FFL except that there would be no limitation regarding the age of the firearm. You would not be permitted to conduct a business under this license, only collect for your own personal use.
Once upon a time, it was possible for non-business owners to obtain an FFL for this purpose. During the Clinton years this freedom was curtailed.
How would we go about this? Would you support the campaign by personally visiting and calling your represenatives to lobby for legislation directing the ATF to create such an FFL class?
I hereby dub this effort as under the umbrella of:
"The Beren Campaign to Reduce Violence & Crime"
Specifically, as: "The Beren Effort for Safe Gun Ownership"
