It Never Ends

The only real question is whether or not their background check is more strigent than ours, and I don't know that it is. We don't have background checks on private party sales of used guns here (ALL new guns have been sold with a background check for nearly 2 decades), but the vast majority of private sellers would run a check on their buyers were they even allowed to. The president could sign an EO today to open the background check up to private party sales and I would support that. I do not support registration.

I'm curious - Why is registration a sticking point? Most of the gun owners I know feel the same way but I don't push the issue IRL so I don't really understand the opposition. It seems to me that registration is a fairly straightforward step that would help stem the flow of stolen and fraudulently purchased guns to the black market without infringing on the ability of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. At the very least it would enable better identification and prosecution of those individuals who purchase guns expressly to pass along to those who cannot pass a background check to buy for themselves.

I can't speak for all gun owners but for me it's a lack of trust with our government. It's already willing to spy on us, use the IRS to target political groups, the whole patriot act, etc. I don't trust them whenever they say they don't want to confiscate all firearms so I would just assume they don't know every firearm I own.

I am guilty to admit it, but my air rifle is a pride and joy. It's a standard 200 bar .177 rifle, single shot, Walther match rifle and is designed specifically for target shooting at 25 yards.

It's just superbly balanced and comfortable and has kept me interested for quite a while.

It's locked up in the range, behind two cage doors, one steel door, two alarms (one connected to the police station) and all ammo is stored in a separate lockdown (primarily for the storage of live ammo).

25yds? I consider that a pistol range. J/k

Nice rifle though,
and it reminds me I need to get back to my reloading bench.

Yeah, it is pretty up close... we do 10yds for air pistol, but my rifle will go up to 100yds on a full tank. I just naturally settled on 25yds. Prone position of course, outward gauging and no rest (hardcore )

Thanks for the thumbs up on the rifle though!

I covet this rifle... it's a .22 rimfire match rifle...

Tried on once and LOVED it! Several thousand pounds though >.<
