And, yes, we have the handgun permit. But did you know that if you place the national crime rate up against the Nebraska crime rate, that the handgun permit for Nebraska shows no significant drop in crime compared to the rest of the country?

So why have the freaking handgun permit process, if it provably doesn't help reduce crime?


I've never priced a fully automatic firearm 'cause I have no interest in owning one.

If you talk to a Class III dealer, he/she can probably help you purchase an M4. Price is often a hurdle when making a purchase, regardless of what you're seeking to purchase. A Kia costs less than a Porsche, a Ruger RAR cost less than a Forbes, etc., etc. I believe that there is a Class III dealer in either Ralston or LaVista.

The zip code that I live in doesn't have any violent crime, so nothing I could or would do would make any difference.


As you state, you have no clue. Fully automatic arms produced after 1986 cannot be legally transferred, hence you can't own an M4 by ordering one from a class III dealer. And those legally transferable fully automatics are running $15,000-40,000.

Well, you could if you became a class III dealer, pay $3000 for a 3 year FFL and order a sample. Of course then you are fully open to the BATF inspecting you whenever they please and you'll have to keep up that $1000 annual fee so long as you possess that M4. That isn't too onerous, is it???
