Nevada is good to go!:celebrate

The only thing that was accomplished by Virginia's law is it made the straw purchasers have to drive a few extra miles to get to another unregulated state.

When are the law givers going to get it. All they have to do is pass a law that makes dying a felony, that would certainly fix the problem of violent crime. Nobody wants to be a convictedfelon.

I don't like or agree with "one gun a month". I doubt that it is effective with straw purchases, and I know that it doesn't prevent murderers (Cho).

They first took away our right to purchase firearms
and I didn't speak up because I don't buy many guns.....

Well it would be more effective to make it against the law to die as the result of being shot by a criminal. That would solve the problem of innocent gunshot deaths.

You don't want the simple act of dying to be illegal, after all there are some folks who really do need to move on to make room for more reasonable people.:banghead:

Like ALL gun control laws, this is a feel good measure that does ZERO to prevent crime, and ONLY infringes upon a law-abiding citizen's right to keep and bear arms.

If you ain't wit me, you agin' me.

http://www.stategunlaws.org/xshare/pdf/scorecard/2007/2007_state_scorecard.pdfpurports to list "one handgun per month" laws for all 50 states. Be warned though: I don't consider the Brady Campaign a terribly reliable source of information. For example, fully half of Utah'sscore isundeserved imo: Utah is credited (or dinged, depending on your perspective) for "No Shoot First Law: Deadly force not allowed to be a first resort in public" despite a very clear 76-2-402 (3) "A person does not have a duty to retreat ..."

True. The law didn't fix much to write home about. Virginia simply wanted the spotlight taken off of them when being accused of selling any amount of guns to anybody at any given time, thereby creating the "gun runner" problemin other states. It could be described as one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" laws. It fixed our publicity problem, but didn't solve the problem in other states.
Well that didn't take the spotlight off of virginia in the least. Remember Bloomberg?:?
