When legislators fail to do the right thing in our Republic, it's much easier these days for the masses to effectuate necessary change. This is a good first step.

I must've missed something? Did the NRA go in and shoot these kids at the school in FLorida? Asking for a friend

In 2012, those very same stocks in firearms companies blew up with the post Sandy Hook buying frenzy.

Any broker that divests in stock that's guaranteed to rise is an idiot and shouldn't be managing my money.

Wrong.

Check what you write, mate.

America's oldest gun manufacturer, Remington, files for bankruptcy greatly due to investors pulling out over a Remington Bushmaster being used at Sandy Hook.

Gunmaker Remington reaches deal to operate while in bankruptcy

..."MADISON, N.C. — Remington, the gunmaker beset by falling sales and lawsuits tied to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, has reached a financing deal that would allow it to continue operating as it files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The maker of the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle used in the Connecticut shooting that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead in 2012, said Monday that the agreement with lenders will reduce its debt by about $700 million and add about $145 million in new capital.

The company was cleared of any wrongdoing in the shooting, but investors repulsed by the massacres distanced themselves from the company's owner, investment firm Cerberus Capital Management."...

There is little question in my mind that the loop holes that remain and still allow gun show sales are due to the powerful lobby of the NRA.

How about boycotting bad law enforcement since we now know the SRO refused to engage.

I keep hearing about these "loopholes"on bgc at the gun shows, but never heard them explained. Are there different bgc being done there as opposed to the dealers place of business?

I've never purchased from a gun show, so I have no idea about how it's done there.

To get one from my dealer all I do is fill out a form. They send info to the state, 15-30 minute process. 10 or 20 dollar fee, and you're out the door with your gun of choice.

Under federal law, private-party sellers are not required to perform background checks on buyers; whether at a gun show or other venue. ... Access to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is limited to FFL holders and FFLs are not issued to persons that only sell firearms at gun shows.

Speaking of the cowardly deputy... If we can't rely on grown ass men with kevlar vests and training to run into the line of fire - how in the hell are we going to reasonable expect to arm the biology teacher?

If'n I'm a teacher - f that, I don't want to become the target #1 of a hormonal lunatic that just failed a quiz on The Great Gatsby. Not for $40k a year.

That teacher will be a target themselves. Hell, they probably care more about the kids as well.

In that scenario the teacher would be a target regardless if they have a gun.

I'm willing to bet that there are Biology teachers with more balls than the deputy.

Well if the only people qualified to have guns are police and military, I guess you’re up **** creek if they balk.

Gun show promoters used to allow non FFL holders set up and sell their "private collections" during gun shows. The majority of show promoters have barred private party sales on the show grounds over the last few years. Some probably still allow it but not many.

In 2012 or 2013 a bill was introduced in the Senate to close the so called "gun show loophole" it would have allowed background checks at the door and only those qualified to purchase allowed in or allowed to buy from anyone inside. That bill never made it out of committee.

Exactly. If they will fail you, then we need others willing to protect themselves and others.

If the biology teacher is trained and willing to carry, then that is one more person who has the ability to do something. The odds are improved that the situation would turn out better than letting an armed psychopath have free reign in a school where nobody is protected.

Enterprise has decided to stop given NRA members a discount and Bank of Omaha will no longer print NRA credit cards. This is devastating as it leaves only 56 other ways to get a discount for car rentals.

You’re doing it guys!

Not to mention NRA members won't rent from Enterprise. Those boycotts work both ways.

I would have issues with not even being allowed in to look around. Hell, how long would that take anyway? I've seen the "instant" check be anything but on more than one occasion. Having all actual sales require BGC's is something many people would consider reasonable.

So that’s a correct statement but I think a better ending sentence would have been “ and FFLs are not the only people allowed to sell guns at gun shows”

I don’t have a problem with a dude walking around with one gun and a sign that says “$250 OBO” but I would hope the show makes him ask for ID for age verification. Plus I could swear the last show I went to made me show proof of age, gray hair and all.

I think a guy that sets up 10 guns on a table with price tags has established a storefront and believe he should be treated as such. The gun show is insuring his store front has foot traffic. I have no idea of the actual requirements on this individual though I will admit.

Well you’re gonna be a target anyway. Want a chance to shoot back? Fine if you don’t but I would.
