Gotta stop you there. If you ship any firearm to anybody else, even if you already own the gun, your gun needs to go through an FFL where you do have to go through a background check. The only way around that is in person transfers in certain states
Thank you OHJB for taking a step in the right direction. But it is still a tiny fucking step. GO FOR THEIR GUNS, ALL OF THEM, DO IT DO IT I DARE YOU!!!
My dad gave my minor child an automatic weapon* a while back. I was shocked that it was all perfectly legal except for flying with it, which I had to do, and which made me so nervous I spilled gun bits everywhere in the ticket counter at the airport, but the Wyoming airport people were totally unphased, so I'm guessing lots of people travel with guns. The whole thing makes me crazy. TAKE MY GUN JOE!!
* an evening bag sized ladies Colt automatic pistol owned by my great grandmother, with a magazine of ten tiny .25 caliber bullets. I get panic attacks just holding it but my son taught me to disarm it at least.
“Oh so if I want to hand down the gun my grandfather used to kill Nazis to protect this country I have to register with the government?!?!! Or what if I just go to a John Wick movie!?? Biden is making everyone a criminal!!” - someone probably
But first, he is coming for all your lightbulbs, he will confiscate your gas stoves, he will burn your Bibles, and turn all your children gay. THEN he'll take away ALL your gunz.
They won't be able to. Remember, Biden has Super Powers. Even though he's a senile weak old man, he Controls Everything - possibly even the weather. Stopping a few guns from being fired should be a walk in the park for him.
When the NRA fought the insta check system back in the 90s, I quit them. I liked shooting on the weekends with my friends and didn't see how a background check was going to hurt that.
"We need our guns to fight tyranny"... why is a paper mask tyranny but Jeebus threatening to burn you in hell for the first mistake not tyranny?
I hope so.

All the gun freaks are going to run around with hard ones screaming incoherently that the gubmint is picking on them. Boohoo motherfuckers
Hey remember that time Trump said he'd take all the guns, fuck your rights. No? Oh well, here it is.

Jesus wept. More gun dealers than doctor's offices. America.

OT: I have made a list of stories I would like to write over the next few months. They should each be a few pages long.
It feels so good to actually take concrete steps toward something I want to do.
Yipee!
Please, President Biden, declare all semi-automatic rifles to be the property of the U.S. Military. Birb would approve.
I wpu;d not, as it is known there is a significany number of reich-wingers in the military.
That would be a well-regulated militia.

.25 cal, that's a rare one
If it weren't a gun I would find it charming because it's so old and elegant and silly
They can be quite pretty and cute. I have a pretty, purple short 1911

I had to pass a background check and be fingerprinted in order to teach.
But not to own a gun.

Seems like we should take the guns first, that way they won’t shoot us over the gas stoves/bibles/ceiling fans/gay.
They won't be able to. Remember, Biden has Super Powers. Even though he's a senile weak old man, he Controls Everything - possibly even the weather. Stopping a few guns from being fired should be a walk in the park for him.
If it what's needed to reach luxury gay space communism, then it's a sacrifice we should all be willing to make.
So much to love in that vision.

The only reason for that is they don’t actually care if gun owners are law abiding. They are advocates for sales. Period.
Absofuckinglutely.
They lobbied against law changes to make suing over defective guns harder. They aren't a consumer group, they're a trade group
Good on ya, Uncle Joe!
Unless properly transferred or promptly reported stolen, gun owners should be civilly and criminally responsible for how their guns are used.
Even if reported stolen, if you lose a gun, you can still be held liable.
And require insurance.
