johnston: without an FFL in your own state right now there are no interstate sales period. Slight misinterpretation of the law by a layman.. MT would allow someone from Ohio to buy a handgun from an FFL in Wisconsin without it being shipped an FFL in Ohio. The 1968 Gun Control Act allows it for long guns but not handguns.

I presume you were replying to these progun posters below, since I really couldn't care less.

1 lurks often, to johnston's concern above: I think you are interpreting it incorrectly. Any firearms sale of a non antique firearm that crosses state lines requires an FFL and I do not believe that Manchin-Toomey would have changed that. Current Federal law allows you to buy a long gun from any FFL.. What Manchin-Toomey would have done is change the handgun purchase law to match the current law how long guns are handled
2 kudzu, ditto: I think it would make handguns follow the same rules as long guns.. You'd still have to buy through an FFL in the other state, but you wouldn't have to have it shipped to an FFL in your state to do the transfer. At least that's how I read it


Since you 'suddenly' stopped replying to those guys on your very own RKBA thread, I hope you won't mind if I cross post your reply there, to update them as to your views.

johnston: That misinterpretation of the law is quite different than asserting "cops are better trained than 90 percent of gun nuts" without offering a shred of evidence, but demanding proof of others.

You're hilarious. I didn't offer a 'shred of evidence' about that since I didn't write that.
Here's what I actually wrote: .. they're {cops} better gun handlers than the average gunowner, & more responsible than the average gunnut, and generally are NOT gunnuts.
How I used '90%': they generally are better gunhandlers than 90% of the public.

You're supposed to apologize,retract &/or clarify when you misquote a person. Hah, dream on jimmy.
