I believe I've said this before, but if there is any place in your home where you cannot simply, without moving your feet, extend your arm and take hold of a loaded handgun, you are vulnerable. Far more vulnerable than you know. You might as well put up a "robbers, please don't hurt me" sign outside your house. I love these ITGs who brag about all the hardware they keep in their gun safe. Yeah, your gun safe. Good luck getting to that when I kick down your door with my Gat. Pew pew...you're smoked, pansy.

I have at least one gun hidden in every room of the house. Some are hidden so well that they will only be found when the house is burned to the ground and they pry the gun from my cold, dead, still-smoldering corpse.

Is that just for purchases from one dealer or does that also include private party transfers through that same dealer (buying something from out of state for instance)? I know a guy who bought a collection of old revolvers at an estate sale, it would have been really tedious for him to go back to the store once a month for two years to pick up everything (plus the FFL having to store his pistols for two years...). I'm sure that the reasoning behind it was that some politician wanted to appear tough on gun trafficing without actually having to do anything. All things considered though it sounds like a good law to put on the repeal list. Is there also a limit on buying one computer a month for fear of someone hacking into a bank's system?....Didn't think so.

There is already a federal (BATF) requirement that has the FFL fill out a form if someone buys 2 or more handguns at once or within a short amount of time (4-5 working days I think). If they're suspicious of someone buying & moving large quantities of handguns, that should be plenty to start the investigation with.

/bumped into that reg. when years ago someone wanted to sell a pair of Bulgarian Makarovs for $150
//even with shipping & transfer fees it was not something to pass up

Snarfangel: Once a person gets a pistol for each hand, how much more dangerous is he going to be if he buys half a dozen more?

He can continue firing without reloading.

It takes just as long to drop a pistol and pull another loaded one as it does to change a magazine, with the added drawback of having to carry a bunch of extra pounds of steel. That hasn't been an advantage since the days of cap and ball revolvers.

Try again.

Not if, as you said, you were holding a gun in each hand.

Limiting people to one per month is stupid, and it's time for a cool story bro:

Back in 2006 I bought a handgun, and a week later, this other model I had been looking for became available at my local shop, so I also bought that one.

OH NOES!!!!!

Or rather, as Snarfangel said. In any case, I'm tailoring my response to his comment.

That would be true if you were talking about a single pistol. He's talking about one for each hand. This isn't like the video games where you put you hands down, wait .5 seconds and come back up fully reloaded, or Tomb Raider with the spring-loaded magazine launcher in a backpack. It's a hell of a lot easier to drop two pistols and pull two more out than try to reload each one. Is it more practical? Not really, but it is easier.

Ah, another anti-Virginia anti-gun headline. Here in Virginia we cherish our freedom and know our constitutional rights. If you don't like guns too bad, they are everywhere. I have the right to buy as many guns as I want.

Ok, if you support this then you are only allowed to criticize the government once a month. You also can only plead the fifth amendment once a month. Oh and that protection from illegal search and seizu only works once a month. re

Now, THAT, my friends, is what freedom is all about. Do or not do, it's up to you.

Hell, if you want to buy a couple of guns a week, I don't give a damn and no one else should either. I have a few, can lay hands on them in seconds, and it works for me.

I love the example given in the article of the shooter at Virginia Tech as the reason for the "gun a month" idea. Did the shooter drive up to the campus sitting on a pile of guns to make him taller behind the wheel?

Lets regulate the people behind the guns, not the guns themselves.
