I have a feeling if they try to outlaw and confiscate guns from otherwise law abiding citizens, they will have to collect a lot of amo first. After all, if you make someone a criminal for not giving up something they bought and possessed legally, one would not be any more of a criminal for protecting themselves with force from those trying to take those rights away.
Had I not lost all my firearms in a tragic boating accident last year, I would have no issue using my firearms to protect myself from anyone trespassing on my posted property trying to take what is legally mine!
I kinda agree, here in Ohio we have some interest; back in '89 some really dumb laws were "tried", but owners quashed that rapidly... like minded folks that did their own reloading in mass quantities, kept anyone from knowing "just how much" ammo was ever sitting in storage... we had the same "multi purchase/per month thing", but it was just a formality, and only time it mattered was when you "bought new" from a dealership... we were not restricted to 1 a month, but they had to "report" a multi purchase...(red flag?) didn't matter if you were a "non criminal", so it was only a formality... we also had every "store/dealer" purchase backed by a mandatory background check... again, no big deal... fast and simple; and actually non invasive.
Haven't purchased any lately, after moving back here from Virginia, where I lived for 10 years, but nothing much changed here. During life in Virginia, up to my move in '11, the "laws" as Max had quoted, were actually in effect all along, specifically the first 2 laws, telephone background check from the dealership had a 1 hour response, (and, if the dealership had sold a gun to you prior, and the response didn't come back
within 2 hours, they could actually sell you the firearm, and you were good... if they got a "bad person" response, after that point, they were liable... but you were also, so ... ); and the multi gun purchase was always a restriction.... even then. Been "one per calendar month" for decades now. Now, if they changed the law pertaining to "household/spouses" I cant say... (as that was something my wife and I had in common, and would have ruined my father in laws birthday presents, as I had to buy them, because my wife always bought me cool toys..really love that woman...
and the damned "Venusian's" took them all.... honest... )
Va, has "always been" a hot bed, dating back to the gun shows around '03-'04, where sales were made by private folks, and dealers alike; When the BATF decided to involve local LEO's in the pursuit of "straw purchases" (supposedly), and photographed, collected documents, and actually went to households where people lived, and "poked" folks, (totally improper, and illegally).. it was a big issue... after the first 2 Gun show "incidents" of that nature, in Richmond, that was all tossed in the basket, and became "forbidden procedure" statewide.
Real bummer, just as with your boating accident, ( hope it didn't happen on the way home from the gunshow in In Mechanicsville or Doswell, when you were going back to "home"
), all of my stuff was taken the last time we (my wife and I), had a Visit from the interplanetary "Venusian's"... when they landed, and probed us... so, we have no guns...or ammo.... that's my story if asked....
