The majority of all Remington pumps ever made were sold between PA and New England. It's truly a Yankee gun and the official firearm of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

One day it will dawn on you what Steelhead is talking about.

I used to think he categorized everyone in the north as damn yankees and wasn't sure if I should take offense or show pride. Then the light bulb came on of the demographic of people in which he refers to as Damn Yankees. I ain't one of 'em and most likely you are not either.

The people he refers to ARE Damn Yankees.

P.S. Sorry to screw up the thread. Just wanted to get that one in. Carry on.

It seems to me that regulations that keep criminals from easy access to fully automatic firearms is a good thing. I'm not a Class III dealer, so I don't deal in fully automatic firearms, have no desire to deal in them, and have never gone to the trouble of learning the ins and outs of them.

Rory,

You live about as close to me and any other 24HCF member and you and I can both own any class of firearm we want. If there is any restriction in Nebraska, it is the handgun purchase law that requires a resident to obtain a handgun purchase permit. You go to the county sheriff's office, fill out a form, pay $10 for three years, and if you pass the cursory background check you walk out with your permit. It is a restriction, but hardly an onerous restriction.

I have long thought that a national firearms purchase permit, a Federal version of the Nebraska handgun purchase permit, would make buying a firearm easier for everyone involved, both the buyers and the sellers.

EDIT: I am frequently reminded that most people don't care about issues that don't directly impact them. Reference the futility that is represent by the Omaha Public Schools. If the movers and shakers in Omaha cared about the low academic performance by a large portion of the OPS student population, the resources necessary to boost performance would be found and changes implemented.

I worked at a gun store in the late 70s early 80s when these type of rifles were beginning to get popular. We sold them. I remember the owner telling me that these rifles were going to pose a problem for us (gun owners). I never got into the whole tactical firearms thing. My interest has been in sporting rifles and double shotguns. I do have a couple revolvers. I always figured if the poo hit the fan and I ever needed a real assault weapon, I would know how to get one and I certainly didn't need one to protect my home. Whenever I'm at the range and hear someone rattle off a magazine as fast as they can pull the trigger, I just shake my head. I prefer precision shooting, deliberate and accurate. But to each his own, but I'm getting tired of defending why gun owners need high capacity semi-auto rifles. I would support a magazine capacity restriction rather than an outright ban on semi-auto rifles with some cosmetic design features deemed to be dangerous. I really do cringe when I see all the tactical gear and advertising. I much prefer firearms to be marketed for hunting and target shooting, you know innocent and wholesome activities. It's better for PR.

I do believe that at some point they will be banned across the country, much like they are in NY State. And probably just like in NY State, the compliance rate will be very low (approx. 5% in NY) making a whole lot of instant outlaws.

Hitlery learned her political schit in DC and at Yankee universities. Kaine was and remains a carpetbagging damnyankee son of a bitch.

Then again, you have given us Schumer, all the Kennedys, Hussein Obama, Bernie Sanders, Pat Leahy, Michael Bloomberg, both Cuomos. Hell, if you just want to look at the wonders of NYS politicians and their "contributions" to the U.S., we can go Cuomo, Cuomo, Schumer, Bloomberg, FDR, Pataki, Spitzer, Rangel, and Moynihan; among others. The unions, who vote solid D, are Yankee institutions, not Southern. Gun control and anti-2A legislation comes from NY, CT, MA, NJ, MD, and the PRK; not Southern.

The one you used to attend and now has a coach that's worth a schit? Good!

IIRC, didn't you get your law degree from a liberal Yankee college, Vermont Law in South Royalton?

I was at the local shop today, they said they hadn't seen one in there in about 2 months.

That very one
