Hey, gun nuts!

[richard_daily]

I wondered if it was stolen too. He's also advertising a 10-22 dirt cheap. I'm sort of tempted to just buy all of them:

And I'm even more tempted by this Mossberg:

A stock Mossberg 500 is worth about $150 in decent shape. I know the stock they're talking about, and it is nice, but not $100 nice.

That 10/22 is probably a little over-priced in my opinion too, but it totally depends on what scope is on it. They're fun as shit though.

Find out what the .30 cal is. If it's an carbine, that's a good deal.

I'd wager that the .30 is a Ruger ranch rifle in 7.62x39. If it's a M1 Carbine, it's grossly underpriced any more, unless it's spent the last several years under water.

Vette, what's your opinion of some sort of education requirement for firearms owners? I'm sort of split on the issue; on one hand, I think such a requirement is odious if not downright unconstitutional. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of every idiot with a couple hundred bucks being able to run around with that Mossberg in the ad. I don't trust my fellow man enough, any more than I want to do away with drivers licencing.

You skipped right over the ad for the golf balls.

Thanks, though. When I have the free cash and am ready to buy, I may hire you as my agent. You've impressed me with your knowledge and sensible attitude.

I can call and ask if you're curious. Then again, so can you, since the number is right there in the ad. I very much doubt it's an M1 though.

I don't care either way seeing as it's a bit far to travel on a lark.

I can't afford it right now myself. But if you're truly interested, I'll pick it up for you and mail it.

I might consider it, as long as my stimulus check doesn't bounce

You have need of a pickled M1 carbine?

It won't bounce for a while.

Oh, thank God. I was worried for a hot minute.

You don't have a constitutional right to drive a car, hence the license.

You can drive a car on private property regardless of whether you have a license.

You only need a government license to drive on roads provided by the government.

It's the same reason you can't bring a gun into city hall or a courtroom.

Grandpa had a nice one with a 30 rd clip sitting next to the front door. Everyone should have one.

 

[Peregrinator]

I think the states should all have "Shall issue" requirements for concealed carry, as long as one has a clean record, isn't insane, and can demonstrate the safe handling of the weapon for which the license is to be issued. It's a constitutional right to bear arms, and a license by the government implies a privilege, but the Fifth Amendment does say that liberty can be taken with due process of law.

You don't have a constitutional right to drive a car, hence the license.

Is that "demonstrate the safe handling" not essentially the same as a driver's test though?

I agree that all states should be "shall issue." I'd just like to know, as you say, that no dope is going to have an AD while behind me in traffic or something. Maybe "license" is a loaded word. Certification? Just a diploma from a safety course? I wouldn't mind certain allowances for life experience, like military veterans get an automatic cert. Just that I know everyone with a gun learned somewhere how not to hurt people accidentally.

Maybe this could be similar; you only need the piece of paper to take the gun(s) off your own property. I see that here in VT, the most liberal gun state in the country, that I need to pass a hunter safety course to get a hunting license. I'm okay with that.

My dad was issued one for guard duty in the Air Force back in the day. I wish he'd brought one home with him. That and even moreso a sword from when he was stationed in Japan. Dad was a big fail at leaving cool toys to his son. He and Mom once gave a Studebaker to their church, ffs.

I guess paying for college makes up for it though. And being a pretty cool guy all around.

Nonetheless, you don't have a constitutional right to drive a car. You do have a constitutional right to bear arms, and the Constitution doesn't limit where the right might be exercised. As I recall it wasn't against the law to show up armed in the state capitol here in California until a gang of Black Panthers did so in a threatening manner in the 60s.

The Black Panthers didn't enter the building, though. IIRC.

Yeah maybe. I'd be willing to take that back, as in the end we are all responsible for our own actions and subject to the full force of the law. After all we don't have to present a high school diploma to exercise our free speech rights either do we? But if we yell fire in a crowded theater we could go to jail. I'd rather err on the side of liberty.

True, but are there limits somewhere? I mean, the same logic would apply to nuclear weapons; I should be allowed to have one in my basement as long as I own it responsibly. The founders wouldn't have balked at me owning my own cannon, certainly. Do we draw the line somewhere? If so, where? I think the 1934 act is a little silly, as I'm more dangerous on semi than on burst with my M4. So how do we rationally decide? I'm not posting with an agenda here at all; I'm genuinely interested in opinions on this.
