johnston: Do you support the provision of Manchin Toomey that would have allowed interstate handgun purchases that was completely banned without FFL under the 1968 Gun Control Act?

Johnston said the same on RKBA board, with a thread he started called 'a provision in Manchin-Toomey that isn't mentioned': "IOW, it would amend the 1968 Gun Control Act to allow interstate handgun sales without an FFL. Personally, I'm opposed to the idea,"

Even your own side shot you down on this, on your own thread, johnston, so why'd you stop posting on your own thread after you got hit with your own flak? You didn't answer any of these counters, why not? Now you're on here spinning the same top.

kudzu: I think it would make handguns follow the same rules as long guns.. You'd still have to buy through an FFL in the other state, but you wouldn't have to have it shipped to an FFL in your state to do the transfer. At least that's how I read it

lurks often: I think you are interpreting it incorrectly. Any firearms sale of a non antique firearm that crosses state lines requires an FFL and I do not believe that Manchin-Toomey would have changed that.
Current Federal law allows you to buy a long gun from any FFL.. What Manchin-Toomey would have done is change the handgun purchase law to match the current law how long guns are handled.


travis: 9. I'm fine with this change.http://sync.democraticunderground.com/1172121948
