An AR15 is not an assault weapon. It's like me saying any vehicle capable of going over 80 mph is a race car.

yeah, knew that, just not sure I trust the powers that be. know what I mean?

I asked about that when I was working part time at Academy. I was told that some States have the requirement to keep the spent casing, to send them into a State agency to put the ballistics into their data base to match against any future crime, when the gun is sold, but that Texas didn't have that requirement.

My phone keeps kicking me off this site now; gotta be brief. Y’all need to discuss exactly what information a fired case can reveal; there is a lot of misinformation going around about that.

This looks like a good time to re-tell my shotgun recall story.

It's not just scary, it's flat out terrifying.

It was an old, by the time it got to me, JC Higgins 12G bolt action. Received a recall notice in the mail some years ago here at my current address, something about a possible bolt misfunction that could lead to shooter injury. Return the bolt in the prepaid envelope and they send a $250 check.

Why terrifying? Read on. My dad gave me the shotgun on my 12th birthday back in the 50s. He bought it from a guy he worked with who had bought it used from some other guy. By the time it got to me it had probably already had a few or maybe several owners. If I remember correctly it was so old it had a 4-digit serial number.

Recall that this was the 1950s. Gun registration...What's that? Fill out a form...what for? Not back in those days. If you had the money they sold the gun no questions asked. The first gun I bought myself I bought the fall of that same year for squirrel hunting (Higgins 22 bolt action), altho my dad was with me when I did the buying. The following year at the ripe old age of 13 I bought my first 30-30, cash and no dad with me. Back then no one of any age ever had a problem buying ammo. These were the days the local hardware store sold TNT to any farmer who had a stump or big rock to remove.

In the 50 or so years I owned it I moved over 20 times, most of those moves being out-of-state moves.
HOW THE H DID "THEY" KNOW?
HOW MUCH MORE DO "THEY" KNOW?

Jim, that’s what I was looking for. The article is not meant to be a de facto step by step process, but more of an enlightening peek into what people have a major misconception on. After a FFL no longer keeps their 4473’s they go to the place in the article and they take the processes outlined in the article. If the author meant it as an industry standard publication, I too would take objection to it. But as this is for the layman or general public, it is a candid peek into the function of that branch of the BATF.

What I got from that article was that the author was making a case for registering all firearms with the BATFE. But perhaps I’m just not a trusting soul.........

casing not much, spent round a lot.

no idea if they keep the ballistic info, just seems like another door for them to get in through.

Correct. Another rung on the confiscation ladder. Neither one will tell them, “This projectile was fired by a S&W 1911, serial# xxxxxxx, owned by xxxxxxx xxxxx. But a whole lot of uneducated people are being led to believe that they will do exactly that by the libtards.

Good thing I think guns are bad and don’t have any besides the ones holding up my elbows...Y’all can move on to the next house to check..

If I don’t register my firearms are they “illegal” firearms or just “undocumented” firearms??? Asking for a friend

I imported some from mexico, they will be applying for benefits next month.

Won’t need any as all my guns were stolen last week again

I gave mine to a homeless dude at the intersection. He said thank you.
