That will be the line in the sand for many folks.:cool:

The way I understand it, the secretary of the TREASURY can declare a firearm a destructive device any time he feels like it. After all, the ATF is a tax collection agency.

Why are these people specifically against handgun violence? Why not against violence in general?

I mean, I'm against handgun violence too. I just use my gun to protect myself against those who are in favor of it.

You are falling right into the propaganda trap. Look at the language: "gun violence". There is no such thing. Guns are inanimate objects. People are violent. The constant association of "guns" and "violence" by the anti's burns that image into peoples brains. Kind of like "reasonable gun control".

I need to make a correction here. Since the Homeland Security Act, the ATF is under the Dept. of Homeland Security. All references to the Secretary of the Treasury have been left in the wording of the NFA, but they are now understood by a revision of the federal code to refer to the Attorney General. I should have done my research before I shot off my big mouth.

While you are a teenager, young, recover easily, dumb, know every thing - a mule or a too big gun teaches good lessons about invincible forces and immoveable objects.

And respect for Grandfather, a small man that stood in front of serious big game and took the recoil of too big guns before the game was up.
