You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Tombs again.
I constantly remind people on facebook that Reagan gave the Liberals the assault rifle ban they want, and that Reagan was no friend to the firearm owner. Esp to the meme that Reagan was shot and did not ban guns.
While the ban on newly manufactured fully automatic guns is distasteful, it's interesting how the main part of McClure-Volkmer that legalized selling gun parts, ammo, and reloading components via mail order is studiously ignored.
It would have been nice if the famously anti-gun Rep. Hughes hadn't gotten away with slipping in the newly manufactured full auto ban, but let's get real here and just admit that it was a far bigger win for the average gun owner to be able to buy ammo and gun parts without being forced to go directly to a brick-and-mortar for the privilege.
People in my income bracket simply cannot justify spending multiple thousands (in the case of a Thompson 192x and many others, tens of thousands) for what is (let's not kid ourselves here) essentially a novelty gun, but we certainly can and do justify being able to go online with MidwayUSA, Natchez, and scores of other outlets and replenish our reloading component supplies.
