The Boston bomber did not "legally buy an M4." Not at a gun show, gun store, WalMart, or Dunkin' Donuts.
Period. Story over.

Damn spammerrs
I've turned on comment moderation. It was that or WV, and I think most folks hate that worse than a little delay.
It is strictly to keep the spam out, so if you're a real person and want to call me a louse, no problem. You'll get through, just a little later.

When the cops get your guns...
I liked the list best -- 114 citizens' guns which wound up in the hands of the Fremont County sheriff's office. it suggests that folks there used to own a lot of junk, at least those who came to the professional attention of county cops.
But among the rattletrap Rohms and Ravens lurked a SW Model 28-2, a couple of potentially valuable Ithaca doubles, and some respectable old Winchester and Remington .22s. Not to mention around a dozen "sawed-off" shotguns.
The sherf says he bought about $1,000 worth of them himself and -- with court approval -- traded others to a local FFL for stuff his department could use.
It raises questions, and the state auditor is looking into things. No one else in the state bureaucracy is. The Register lede mentions possible criminal violations, but there's merely innuendo about that in the report.
Still, it is a good reminder that Officer Friendly may have a yen to grab your gun just because he thinks it would look nice hanging over the bar in his rumpus room.
And about those "sawed-offs" -- if they were sawed-off enough and transferred to the dealer without NFA paperwork, maybe we ought to send in a bureaucrat with a tape measure, sort of like the Feds did to Randy Weaver.

Loophole report (Please stand by)
I'll post a picture of the single purchase, a Lee AutoPrime II, one of the few shootin' gizmos that fine old company ever decided to discontinue. Right now I'm off to the loading shack to set it up and get started converting all that shiny and sized brass into a ready terrorism palliative.
I will say it's a goofy looking thing, but knowing Lee as I do, it will undoubtedly work as advertised. Even if it happens not to, I'll be a whopping five bucks in the hole.
Why? Because I couldn't find the No. 4 shell holder for the regular AutoPrime, new or used. Maybe they fell victim to the buying panic, too, since they can be used to restuff 5.56x45 (aka the .223 McNamara Stalemate) for assaultish looking weapons.
You see, the AP II uses standard shell holders, the ones you already have for everything you reload. Good idea, Mr. Lee,and I wonder if you have an engineer working on redesigning the AutoPrime to do the same.

Otherwise a rather dull show. I did note some .22 LR staying on the tables when priced at $65 brick.
