Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 This back door approach to gun control is spreading to the state level in some locations...don't be lulled into complacency during this period of relative calm. Be vigilant and fight it Link to comment

Be vigilant and fight it Boy if that doesn't steam my beans!! Legal Firearm ownership is a RIGHT not a privilege. You can demand insurance for a privilege, but for a 'right'? ....

Willie Earp, SASS#19022 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have discussed this same topic with several lawyers in our area. The consensus seems to be thus: 1) Only the rich will be able to afford the insurance premiums. This will not stop gun ownership with the poor, because they will only get in trouble if they get caught. So long as they keep their guns hidden, then the law will not bother them. 2) If a poor man gets caught without the proper inusrance (maybe defending his home from a robber, for example), then it is a simple matter of going to court. The offender can't afford to pay any fines imposed, so the gun gets confiscated and the offender gets "public service" time. This happens all the time for drivers who cannot afford auto insurance and have accidents. The bottom line here is that this law will not have the consequences that the framers intend, and will end up costing the tax payers money in the form of increased court time and court costs that are NEVER recovered.

Madd Mike #8595 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 that would be about enough for bail only, if they are really after us Link to comment
Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 That is the truth. I see ads now on TV to put pressure on Toomey to keep fighting. The local effert here in PA is still in full swing on both sides and the opfor has gone backdoor many times already. We need to keep a presence and build a communications network aside from public web sites. Link to comment
