I'll admit to owning 20+ firearms, one Uzi and several ARs amongst them. Some were purchased through dealers with a 4473 check and others bought FTF with no paper trail. The Uzi is properly tax stamped. I have several suppressors, also properly stamped. I have built my own, non-serialized ARs from 80% lowers. My 12 y.o. daughter has two guns of her own (which she is quite good with and is well-versed in the proper handling, use, and care of). I have at the moment 47,325 rounds of ammunition of various calibers in my inventory. I have 200+ standard capacity magazines (mostly due to pre-election shopping in 2016). I reload. I have 9 5-gal buckets of used brass in my workshop for reloading, along with 40# of powder and several thousand bullets (that's the projectile part just to make it clear to you). I have enough lead and the means to cast thousands more if I'm inclined to do so.

I shoot with friends who are local LEOs regularly.

It's a hobby. It could be more if needed. I can be your worst nightmare if circumstances call for it, although you'd probably consider those like me (and we are many) your worst nightmare right now.

So your wet dream is that some lib, agenda-driven "evaluator" with an anti-gun bent is going to determine if I should be "allowed" to pursue my hobby? I am a threat to no one - unless your kind makes moves to change that.

My generation is the reason why Suppressors short barreled rifles and short barreled shotguns are generating the Treasury Department $148,732,000 just from 2012 to 2016. Take Note. We don't want your anti gun BS. (I contributed $800 to NFA tax collection for suppressors)
Remove Hughes amendment I'd add easily 2k in NFA tax within a years time for brand new manufactured full autos
Don't believe me? Go to a shooting range and take note of what 25-35 year olds are shooting. We aren't shooting fudd guns.

How many horsepower can your car engine generate? How fast can it go? Above the speed limit? Why? How big is the gas tank? Anything over 2 gallons is excessive and you have no need of that.

How big is your house? Probably more than you need. Why?

My father always wished that they had guns when the Reds came in 1927 and shot my grandmother and took over the family farm. Making him an orphan at the age of 10. That was followed up by the murder of 10 million people. A news event, that the NY Times refused to report to the world....and if fact, lied since they thought the murder of 10 million people was only a phase Stalin was going through....a mid-life crises??

Tyranny in the US is....well minor...compared to tyranny in the rest of world.

The US is special.

My mother always said the only TWO things wrong with Americans.....

1) they are incredible naive

2) they don't realize how lucky they are

ps...the rest of the world does....which is why everybody tries to get here.

And who decides? You?
Flip the script. We go and get a BS or Masters in psychology and beat them at their game.

You want firearms? You're good in my book! Here's your universal background check with flying colors and universal access to firearms.
People would be paying and lining up to get their universal background checks performed

Well you apparently care in that you're advocating having my possession of such judged and restricted.

No one should be nor have cause to be afraid of me. Unless they seek to harm me or mine.

Now get back to cleaning that Slurpee machine. Break time is over.
