Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Good Old Days ... Guns In The Mail

as I mentioned in another thread, my first gun purchase was with a coupon out of Outdoor Life, and delivered to me at the Railway Express Agency office in Jacksonville.
I was 15, and there were no questions asked.

I used to put my shotgun or rifle in my car and take it to school so we could hunt after school and lo and behold I never massacred anyone. If a kid took a rifle to school these days they would call out SWAT teams from 10 different counties and storm the school.

Well the GCA'68 was and is unconstitutional- CT Senator Thomas Dodd was pretty much the guy on that piece of crap legislation and they only manage to do it because LBJ decided not to run and it would not cost him politically. Dodd was censured the only one so far. The GCA'68 is pretty much a carbon copy of the 1938 Gun Control laws enacted in Germany, Dodd had the original copy of that law, he spoke german and use the 1938 German Law to craft the GCA'68. If anything it needs to be repealed. As for buying guns mail order, those were the days, we sit here and look at 29 dollars for a Swede in A-1 condition, but we do remember how long one had to work in order to spend that 29 dollars. That amount would have been about 33% of my mom weekly income in 1964. In other words a lot of money. On thing is that in 1964 the Swedish Government had a few warehouses full of them, now well they are becoming hard to come by. Some times I wished I was born and was done living by 1960 at the age of 65 or 70. I don't even recognize the country that I was born in anymore, and I am just 58!

You're not alone. I'm 47 and I don't recognize it.
