  1. Re:You already have to have that for many of these on Biometric Database Plans Hidden In Immigration Bill · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I remember handing over drivers license last time I bought a gun. Had to fill out a bunch of paper work too that was totally pointless. They should have been able to scan the card and get a response way faster. I think it was faxed or something instead.

    If we are going to version control, then lets do it correctly and rewrite laws with some sort of pseudocode. That way there can be no argument about what a law means or could allow someone to do.

    You already have to have proof of self to rent a house, buy a gun, open a bank account, acquire credit, board a plane.

    It may not be by law, but those folks already want to see id. I am 99% sure the gun one is a law.

    Name one nation that bans the sales of .22 rimfire. .22 short is not banned in England. People are idiots all over the world. They shoot it competitively indoors even.

    That was to encourage you to buy their unlimited plan.

    The kick off the users method only works when there is no competition. Mobile thankfully still has some, unlike ISPs.

    I like guns, I own several.

    The reason they are nutters is that they are buying up every round so fast I can't even get 22lr. No one is ever going to ban that, it is only scary if you are a squirrel.

    Metal detectors detect ferrous metal, which lead is not.

    That is because of the nutters buying it all up.

    Production can't go up to meet demand, since this is a demand spike that won't last. That means producers are not going to invest in facilities and equipment that will sit idle very soon.

    So how do we deal with modern electronics. Could I not make smartphones in the USA or show people how to make them?

    They would make fine guidance systems for missiles. At some point technology obsoletes your law, this is one of those times.

    You don't need high grade smokeless powder.
    Old fashioned black powder is fine. You can use it in handguns and many rifle cartridges. Modern guns would tolerate it fine. Many of what we consider modern cartridges were originally black powder. Gas operated semi-autos will be the only real problem. More cleaning would be needed of course, but again not a huge issue. Many modernish rounds are still corrosive, like all the old russian ammo.

    Not sure what you mean by modern black powder, all black powder is considered outdated. I guess some might call pyrodex or other similar black powder replacements that. Maybe you meant modern guns powder.

    Then you have made an NFA weapon. You will need a tax stamp and lots of paperwork. It will take about 6-8 months for you to get that approval.

    Not getting such paperwork will mean you lose the right to own weapons and get to spend many years in a correctional facility.

    Hornady CEO or pres the other day came out and said as much. Less than 5% of their output goes to all levels of government. This is panic buying and no manufacturer wants to invest in facilities and tooling that will go unused next year when the panic ends.

    That would be pretty much impossible.
    Bullets are easy to make. You could try to control gun powder or primers though.

    I doubt either of those would work though.
