An interesting email

[Dorian]

I received this today form GunsAmerica, I wonder if they think they will be out of business soon?

Hi Everyone,
Not really to not take the alarmist, scare tactic route but we feel compelled to email the hundreds of thousands of casual gun people who come here every month (in addition to the hundreds of thousands of gun nuts) that the election of Barack Obama is almost definitely going to bring changes to the gun laws in the form of new taxes and hoops for gun dealers to jump through, as well as permanent bans on individuals selling firearms themselves.

The days of being able to bring grandpa's old guns to a gun show and sell them off in an afternoon are probably going to be gone within a short amount of time after President Elect Obama gets into office.

Most likely the entire American tradition of the gunshow will disappear.


There is a lot of media attention today about people in a frenzy to BUY GUNS, because they are afraid that they won't be able to get them.

But for those of us with closets full of guns we don't and most likely will never shoot, guns that we've procrastinated selling, there is a genuine danger to our ability to be to SELL THOSE GUNS OURSELVES in the future.

So if you don't want to end up losing 30% of their value because you have to transfer the gun out through a gun dealer, get moving and sell them now.

The DEMAND FOR GUNS IS HUGE. We have record traffic on GunsAmerica, and the gunshows are a zoo.

Take the time and sell your guns now, at a gunshow, on GunsAmerica, or any other legal venue.

And remember, if you ship a gun to someone, it has to be sent to a transfer FFL dealer in their state. There is no legal way to ship a gun to an individual, unless they personally are a Curio & Relic FFL holder, which only applies to old and collectible guns that are specifically on the list at the ATF website.

Some states have restrictions on individuals shipping out guns themselves as well. Ask a dealer in your state. We do not give legal advice. It is your responsability to ship guns out legally.

Also consider buying ammunition for the guns you have. There will almost definitely be a new tax coming on ammo.

That's all for now. We felt compelled to send something letting those detached from the problem know what is almost definately coming.

I only have one gun............why would I sell it?

Maybe when you guys dispose of your extra's I could pick one up reasonably.

I got this as well. I found the gloom-and-doom predictions to be pretty trite and alarmist, actually. The words and phrases like "definitely," "permanently," "most likely," et. al. really turned me off. How the hell do they know what legislators have in mind? Surely these are all possibilities, I don't argue with that, but the whole thing came off as a way to scare people into selling their stuff, which of course makes GA more money. Lame.

Guns? what guns? I sold all of mine last week, yeah, that's it... So, just remember, if they come knocking, that's the defense I am using.

You sure you didn't have a boating accident like the rest of us?

[compconsultant]

Looks to me like they are desperate for inventory, because of the strong demand.

[sochr000]

No, no boating accident, I sold them to this really nice (insert ethnic stereotype here) guy/gal who swore they had a permit to carry and no felonies. Being that the president is a minority and we should trust him, why not this guy?

George Soros by chance??

[Widge]

A poor attempt at fear-mongering to encourage panic-buying.

[sochr000]

Who?

[hammAR]

Who?

...careful, there are some around here that eat spotted owls............................

[R.E.T.]

Save the e-mail as proof of the motivation for why you sold your guns.

[aviator]

I just sold mine to this nice old guy down the road who just up and died. No one seems to know what he did with them.

[Tutmos]

The boating accident is too risky. If by chance a warrant was ever issued and they found those guns that "had fallen in the lake" it wouldn't look so good and is a crime. If on the other hand you buy a bunch of crappy cheap rifles at a show or via private party there's nothing wrong with saying that, here are the 5 long guns that I think those computer purchase checks, that you claim not to keep a record of, were for. The checks the FFL runs do not give any details about the gun other than long gun or pistol.

[plblark]

but the FFL keeps the paperwork with the SSN on it for ~21 years. And if the FFL goes out of business ... the AFTE gets the records. They're not supposed to look but you're also not supposed to get caught reading someone else's diary, right?
