Repeal Restrictions on Rifle and Shotgun Purchases/Sales Signed into Law

[crays]

No I was not speaking to internet sales at all. I have bought long guns in non-contiguous states before (you always could) the only added step was that it had to be transferred to a Colorado FFL and then from that FFL to me after the standard Colorado background check process (could not take direct possession). This just seems to do away with that extra step and now were I to buy a long gun in a non-contiguous state I can now take direct possession of it and not have it go through a Colorado based FFL

Agreed. After re-reading my quoted post, I could have been more specific in referencing non-contiguous. I believe we were headed to the same end, all along.

I feel like Hick is going to use this in the election to show that he is "pro-gun".

He will... And he is wrong.... Again.

Means nothing, and hasn't since 1986 FOPA.

It repeals a law that "allowed" purchases in contiguous states, the need for which went away in 1986.

From 1968 to 1986 you could only purchase a handgun in your own state, or a long gun in a contiguous state, if both states allowed it, per federal law. Some states passed laws explicitly allowing it, though that wasn't necessary as long as your state didn't prohibit out of state purchases.

After 1986, the federal contiguous state law went away, which meant you could purchase a long gun in any state, provided your state did not forbid it.

This repealed the law "allowing" you to purchase long guns in contiguous states, and removes a useless law from the books, but does nothing to increase your rights or your freedom.
