So...if my dad wanted to give me one of his firearms we would have to find an FFL to do it?
Also, when he dies(not soon I hope) and my brother and I are settling his estate, what do we do then?

I hadn't even considered the firearm "death tax". AKA: the guns belong to the government now. Yikes...

They are police officers assigned to work in our schools; they are armed and have the same powers as any other city police officer.

I can see it now... You are disarmed for "officer safety" during a traffic stop. the firearm is not returned to you until after they perform a background check...90 days later.

[Lotus222]

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), does as the title states, does not document weapons in anyway. The ATF Form 4473 is presently the only means to trace ownership and is maintained at the origin of sale for a period of twenty years or until the FFL is surrendered to the BATFE, the records are then surrendered to and filed by the BATFE.

I understand that. Currently in my state, the gun can change hands 1000 times before 20 years is up. This is what they are trying to prevent. This is the "gun show loop hole" that they are talking about. This system will change.

# 7 . Launch a national s.a.f.e. and responsible gun ownership campaign. ?

Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement

Don't like the one about Doctors asking patients about guns in the home. This is a blatant invasion of privacy.

Are we not allowed to tell our doctors to go pound sand and mind their own business?

I feel bad for those in states who have a duty to inform.

Am I supposed to feel a little more at ease? Some of his firearms are 50 years old.

Yeah right...

90 days...

More like 390 days... if you know someone...

Palm Beach County Florida has had their own police department since 1972. Back then it was called the common sense thing to do to protect our kids. That is a trait that the majority of our elected leaders lack today.

Am I missing something? Where in that list was the "universal background check system"? Or the "guns belong to the government" mandate?

Yes, but the only way it can change in any meaningful way is to know who has what guns now as a baseline. Think about it. If I have a gun that I purchased 2 years ago and the cops look it up 2 years from now, how would they know if it was illegally transferred? NOT FOR THIS.

See above.

I'm on your side, on this issue. Nowadays the government passes laws without taking all (or any) circumstances into account. Especially knee-jerk, completely political, bureaucratic laws.

Another good point. Man... this looks worse and worse every minute.
