Legal "work-arounds": How do you feel?

[Ironicaintit]

How can a right be purchased with a $200 stamp?

I knew an ex-Navy P3 pilot (also was a NATOPS pilot evaluator)/then with Eastern Airlines, who carries a 1911.

His is from middle TN and has a famous cousin. This guy doesn't believe that every Bubba living on a country road needs to own a gun, but he was vague about it. Haven't seen him in years.

The way he votes is what surprised me-no comment from me. >>That is not wise<<.
* All I will say about "that", is that he likes having many laws and gun regs. He even says that he prefers the sometimes-burdensome extra rules at the private gun club we belong to: MSSA in Lakeland TN.

Ironic, because most American gun owners, besides being somewhat, or very conservative, seem to prefer Fewer laws and regulations.

There is no such thing as a work-around.
It is either legal or illegal according to the letter of the law!

There are enough grey areas and unchallenged areas in the law that "work-around" will always exist if but only for a little while.

Most American gun owners -- who are active in the RKBA movement and politics, who participate in internet discussion forums -- prefer fewer laws and regulations.

The dirty little secret that so many here fail to recognize is that the vast majority of American gun owners are perfectly okay with all of the current regulations on firearms acquisition, ownership and use -- and many aren't terribly concerned with additional and future regulatory efforts, as long as they can keep an old Model 10 in the nightstand drawer and their bolt or lever action rifles and shotguns for hunting.

I can no longer believe that those of us here represent the "vast majority" of American gun owners. I wish it were so ...

Old Dog: It's very easy to believe your conclusions.

You mean "FUDDs". For the newer gun owners reading this, it means "Elmer Fudds"--nervous people who bow down to any govt. regulations, and often are against military features (Not function, just cosmetic features) on guns etc, and are therefore unsupportive of "evil black rifles" etc.

This FUDD term might not be widely recognized, and at our huge private gun club nearby in Lakeland TN, MSSA (Memphis Sports Shooting...), it's probably an unknown term to most people.

Current interpretations of firearm regulations by the BATF may not continue in the future, especially if a Democrat takes the White House. If that happens we can at that time in the future lament the overly restrictive interpretation of gun laws.

A legal work around is exactly that, legal. And I am full support of legally compliant firearms. I don’t care at all about the law makers intent, they can either put their intent in the law or someone can create a firearm that will comply with the law as written.

Let’s face it, a lot of guns are made CA legal or MA legal, are they “work arounds” just because they have mag disconnects, or loaded chamber indicators?
Yes, they’re work arounds to get those guns available in those states.
Also
No, they’re simply compliant with state laws.

“Work around” = legally compliant..... if they don’t like it they can change the law, or apparently change their mind about the law.

Do you see these things as work-arounds to the spirit of existing laws?

Yes, but I "em-brace" those workarounds because I also know where "shall not be infringed" is written.

I have an arsenal of weapons, and if I need a "suppressor" I can make a decent one in
few hours. I have a number of "Battle Rifles" and I can make them full auto in less than
a half hour. I have armor piercing, incendiary rounds that will penetrate 3/4" of steel, 3/8"
of armor and several inches of concrete; I also have decent sniper skills.

My point - if I ever need any "extreme weaponry" (civil war, etc.) I can do that easily, so
I'm not buying any over priced weapons or paying for "tax stamps"; besides I can pump
off 5-7 rounds a second with my semi-auto battle rifles, so I don't really see the need for
all the cost, etc. for full auto weapons, anyway.

Also, it is very easy to "bump fire" a battle rifle without any special stock or trigger, if the
need ever arises to "spray bullets".

A principle in martial arts is to take "baby steps" in slides to approach your opponent before delivering the strike. So, the opponents of gun rights are closing in by limiting or banning this little feature and that little feature until we are left holding nothing.

And things like bump stocks, pistol braces, Tac-14, and binary triggers are sort of the pro-2A attempts as similar tactics it would seem.

Fortunately, we live in a nation where "Everything that is not forbidden is allowed", instead of "Everything which is not allowed is forbidden."

Only statists and haters of freedom would want it any other way.

It's legal, or not legal. No middle ground.
