thank you Mr. Ray. my husband bought me a gun and i took classes and shooting to learn. need to get back to shooting again. The hand gun is too big and hurts when i shoot it. of course we couldn’t return it. the shooting range may find something else for me.

Big pharma drugs, even used as prescribed, murder far more people in the US than guns do yet this goes on every year without anyone batting an eye. People want to bitch about guns killing people but couldn't care less if drugs murder granny or even a baby. Murder is murder yet people are so hung up on how it is done.

Besides, an overwhelming number of gun deaths are due to gang wars and intraracial criminal activities...

💯. Gun education & use of firearms is a must 👍

Great article. Another saying; "when seconds count the police are just minutes away." The powerful simply dislike the 2A because it undermines their power.

Ray, "you can buy more than one suppressor with one permit, if the purchase is made at the same time," this is an option I wasn't aware of, does it have to be the same model suppressor, same manufacturer, or what.

Actually, it turns out that the practice hasn't been confirmed convincingly enough for me, so I added a footnote here as well as in the follow-up article.

Nope, but they only have to be from the same store, bought at the same time.

Also, theoretically, if you establish a trust, you might be exempt from the tax, but I think, that would only raise a red flag.

I forgot to mention red-flag laws... Added them...

Very informational. However, I think the percentage of gun owners is a bit off. That is only for "registered" gun owners, does not include the many criminals who illegally have firearms.

It's quite a bit off, because most guns are not even registered.

The stats usually cited just represent the fraction who will tell a stranger on the phone that they have guns.

They should take into account those on Fakebook, Twitter, and Instagram. lol
