LOL … FYI Jeff Knox is definitely not a communist and is in fact a great supporter of the Constitution and the second amendment. You may disagree but calling him an ATF operative is a huge insult to the man.

Hey, the writer of this article would make a great communist or socialist (democrat or republican). Just an outstanding supporter of gun control. I would say someone like this would be uninformed but that would be stupid on my part as this is obviously written by someone who hates the constitution and all it stands for. BATFE operative would be my guess.

“A good form is like an abbreviated 4473. It informs the buyer of the legal requirements while it asks them disqualifying questions and collects identifying information. The seller keeps the part with the drivers license number and signature, the buyer gets a part with the sellers ID as a receipt, and the gun show checks receipts at the door. Nobody else gets a copy.”

So now the seller has a key piece of your personal identification information and an easy to scan/copy version of your signature. You better hope they choose to not make use of it when stopped by the police, shopping online, etc.

This is only one small step better than the 4473 form, and the whole GCA is one of many things we need our new legislature in 2010 to work on.

To Mr. Krebs et al:

Neither my brother Jeff nor I, nor does The Firearms Coalition as a body “support” the 1968 Gun Control Act. Jeff and I know more than most people about GCA ’68 and I can state categorically that the 1977 Cincinnati Revolt had precious little to do with it. That NRA members’ uprising did indeed lead to the reforms of the law embodied in the 1986 McClure-Volkmer Firearms Owners Protection Act which was written at Dad’s conference table with his guidance, but the Gun Control Act was not the primary motivation in Cincinnati.

Complying with a law is not the same as opposing it politically.

Violating a federal law with felony penalties as a protest is a risky and irresponsible, not to mention futile, form of protest. It’s risky and irresponsible because it can land you in jail leaving your family destitute; futile because, being a federal felony, you aren’t going to make it public. So the protest is the political equivalent of a single tree falling in a forest.

Complying with the law does not imply agreement with its provisions.

I would simply like to be able to purchase whatever gun I please…whenever I please…wherever I please…with 6 grandsons growing up nd living here in the country in California, it sucks that the laws prohibit me from buying, and teaching my Grandsons, how to hunt or just target shoot.

So I had a beef 25years ago…so what…why does the Law think they can take control away from me because of one mistake…They want to change generations…It just isn’t right…at what point do they believe somebody has actually become responsible again?…according to them…never…and that my gun owner friends is wrong!
Makes me want to leave this state…and move into another where I can actually own a gun to protect, hunt, or whatever I would like…Blessings

All of the laws you cited are patently unconstitutional, read that ILLEGAL. Each person will have to decide how he will deal with that conundrum. For me, obeying unconstitutional laws is to become another sheep for the traitorous tyrants who passed them. Therefor, I will not obey them.

I must agree with the above comment Repeal the 1968 Gun Control Act.

Jeff Knox it was your father that lead the revolt at the NRA convention in 1978 over the NRA’s compromise on the 1968 GCA.

Gun control doesn’t work and playing games with our rights is wrong.

Dear Mr. Knox;

Repeal the 1968 gun control act, quit supporting it. Your, “trying to meet them half way attitude” is sickening.

Sincerely,

Howard Krebs
