“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
you are missing the point. the constitution never said a damn thing about getting a background check. fuck them, fuck the laws, fuck their bullshit anti-gun agenda. fire every single one of them. I don't need a background check to get a gun. we need less government, less laws, and less bullshit.
The amount of time to run the CBI back ground check at the CO Springs gun show last weekend was taking 45 minutes to an hour or more. Bastards!!

Shit, just be glad you don't live in Illinois. 3 day wait for a HG, 24 hour wait for a long gun with the background check. Blame the Brady bill. Also because states do not share info, ANYTHING from out of state will get you denied from the CBI until you appeal the denial and send in the paperwork from the other state. It shows up as "status unknown". Don't ask me how I know this![]()
Been there, done that. Lived in IL for 10 yrs (minus the 1 yr hiatus I took to Kimchiland).
Got denied for my Beretta 92FS purchase back in '93 (after paying for teh gun, having it trtansferred from a MO dealer to an IL dealer, and waiting my 3 days). All because I had moved 2 blocks down the same street. My new address didn't match the address in IL's records. Took another week to get everything straightened out.
You all need to quit bitchin about background checks (BC). It's well documented that no bad guy has been able to acquire a firearm since the BC system has gone into place. In fact, all crimes with firearms committed since the BC system has been implemented have been committed by so called "lawful" gun owners. Ban 'em all; that's what I say.
And in that vane, I will be manning a firearms turn-in location at my home for those who wish to make themselves right in the eyes of the law.

Ginsue's Feedback
I lived in the Chicago Metro area for almost 30 years and had a FFL01 for almost all of that time. I am well familiar with the Illinois BS and Democrat political BS.
Now, if I were to turn in to theGinsue, an "almost" complete old H&R .38 (suicide special) I'd hope to get a minimum of $150 for it.![]()
