Firing Line's New Transfer Fees-Price Gouging

[sneakerd]

Good luck with that. Reality sucks, but it is what it is. I don't want any additional gun laws, and I would like to go back to pre '68 gun laws. I want to be able to purchase, shoot and collect a WW2 German MP40 without restrictions. I wish I had more hair.

What will wait time be when you can only buy bolt actions and shotguns? Your not seeing the trees for the forest.

We tried to dump the redundant CBI Instacheck system (HB1048) and it was killed in a partisan Committee by Senate referral.

CBI themselves have said a UBC would overload the system.

So would you prefer background checks to continue at their current pace and likely get much worse, or perhaps go back to where they were last November and before? I'll hand over the sawbuck thanks, and happily.

No.. Most of us would prefer to see the redundant CBI check go the fuck away. NICS has the ability swell with volume - CBI doesn't.

One more shop to avoid for me unfortunately. I have been there only twice, last one was few years ago during the 2008 ammo panic. My experience was horrible although I have been hearing good things lately. In the most part thanks to Sneakered. After that interview, you can thank your boss for undoing all the public relation work you have done for FL for free.

hate typing on iPad.. Excuse the grammar.

[DeusExMachina]

It takes a special breed of anti-gunner to IGNORE the fact that CBI costs Colorado millions and millions of dollars for absolutely no reason, but cling to it because it's an accepted infringement on gun owners. To add on a tax to expand their bloated budget and abilities is a fucking travesty. To welcome it is shameful.

***FYI*** Gander MT only wants $75.00 for a transfer............

Just an fyi- While I strongly disagree with many things said in this thread and others- I get it, I really do. I was on the other side of the counter up until about a year ago, I'm 53 and have been shooting my entire adult life, so I have seen and dealt with what you guys are talking about. You all are teaching me something. I personally will try to improve in my grumpy moments. On another point, a couple of current examples of FL's "high prices": Today we sold a NIB Kel-Tec PMR-30 22 magnum for $399.95 out the door. Right now (the store is closed) there is a NIB Rock River LAR 8 Carbine (308) on the rack for- wait for it............. $1439.95. Beat those prices... anywhere. I dare you. No they are not specials or tricks. FL prices for those guns.

. Thank (insert deity of choice) you aren't selling $900 per K 223 ammo or some other shit anyone would take offense at. But i guess 30 round magazines made locally trump that high priced ammo. YET some of the same people have shit 4 sale even i cringe at. Think i'll low ball some shit just for S&G's

[DeusExMachina]

I would appreciate a heads up next time one of those PMRs roll through.
