'Barrel shroud'....that's what holds the popcorn so you don't burn your hooves, right ?

#2 The only think Rep. McCarthy and folks like her need to know is that guns are icky. Form 4473? Can't we make that longer? More obtuse? Maybe use hieroglyphics?

Your point is well taken: commentators and the communitariat ought to know their subject before opining. That would, however, lead to a number of publications shutting down. Which might not be so bad.

#3 Being well-informed is never a bad thing. But. Knowing jot and tittle of the entire byzantine body of gun law, state by state, and every form, procedure and other requirement is asking a bit much. You could own quite a few guns, but if you bought them years ago or privately still never have seen this form.

If I had a group of 6th graders for 30 minutes to talk about guns, self defense, crime and the 2nd Amendment would I bring up Form 4473? Not a chance.

What if I told you that several of the top bloggers at Ace O-Spades had not one clue what was really on the ATF Form 4473, including a question about drug use and addiction?

I'd say "no shit". Ace is a northwest blue-state "conservative" more interested in campaign consulting than in liberty.

So Ace and the Gang are no better than 6th graders?
