the ban loopholes and dealers too scared

[iH8DemLibz]

I predict saber rattling, but nothing to stir the hornet's nest ... starting to get the itch to make a bet

It's time to see who's predictions come true and who's don't.

I still say ZERO gun bills will be put fourth during the 2014 cycle.

They are not sting proof and it would be prudent to let the nest rest.

Only time will tell.

There is no such thing as a "loophole." There is either following the law or not following the law. If something isn't illegal it doesn't mean it's a "loophole."

For instance a sole proprietor with a home office is exempt from business personal property tax. If I take advantage of that I'm just following the law - it's not a "loophole."

Please do not use the word "loophole."

Kind of the way "tax loophole" was used regarding Romney. He broke no laws, but the word loophole implies such.

Exactly! No one calls the "mortgage interest tax deduction" a loophole to deduct more on your taxes. It's just meant to imply something should be unlawful, kind of like lawful purchases at gun shows (the "gun show loophole"). I get on this soapbox whenever a client asks for a loophole.

Believe me, I'm not a tinfoil hat wearing kind of guy, but the media is very picky about their word choices because words can have much more emotion behind them than the literal sense. Think of "assault rifle" (just a regular semi-automatic rifle) or "high capacity clip" (regular magazine for handgun or rifle). Look at the failed AWB and pre-ban and post-ban rifles. The antis were up in arms (pun intended) that dealers were complying with the law by removing banned features like bayonet lugs, flash suppressors and pistol-grip stocks: the post-ban rifles were sold to comply with the law it wasn't a "loophole."

1. Don't use the word loophole. It adds a negative connotation. There are no loopholes. Things are either legal or they aren't.

2. Tell us what firearm you want and we'll tell you who will sell it to you. (If it's legal) We have some very good dealers on here.

I was born and raised in MD but I've been out of the country for the last year and a half so I missed out on all the pre-deadline buying.

Now the whole HBAR rule gives me some space to get ARs but where do I stand for AK pattern rifles? I'd hate to think that I missed out on my one opportunity to get an AK pattern rifle.

Yeah, I really LOVED that one. There is NOTHING wrong with assets in the Cayman Islands as long as they are CLAIMED on your US tax forms. His tax forms are how the Dems knew he had assets in the Cayman's....implication, of course, that he was tax dodging.

VZ-58 is the closest we can get, or a Saiga/Vepr shotgun.
