When is Obama going to start banning guns like the NRA told me he would?

During the 2008 campaign, I received numerous letters and emails from the NRA stating that Obama had the following 10 point plan -

1.) Ban use of firearms for home defense
2.) Pass Federal laws eliminating your Right-to-Carry
3.) Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns
4.) Close down 90% of the gun shops in America
5.) Ban rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting
6.) Increase federal taxed on guns and ammunition by 500 percent
7.) Restore voting rights for five million criminals including those who have been convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime
8.) Expand the Clinton semi-auto ban to include millions more firearms
9.) Mandate a government issued license to purchase a firearm
10.) Appoint judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal judiciary who share his views on the Second Amendment

I’m sure many of you remember receiving the same letter. His first term is over halfway done now, when will he begin to enact these laws?

Surely the NRA couldn’t have misled me in attempt to scare people into voting Republican, could they?

I'm 18 and would like to purchase a handgun. How do I go about doing this in Alaska?

Ok so if I’m 18 and a friend of mine is 21, can he purchase the pistol from the store, and then sell it to me? I think the law is 21, but I heard something about that only applying to registered dealers or something. I have never been arrested, and my buddy who would purchase the pistol actually works at the sport and goods department in this grocery store and handles the sales of guns. thanks

ok so it says this:

Handguns

* Permit to purchase handgun? No
* Registration of handguns? No
* Licensing of owners of handguns? No
* Permit to carry handguns? No*

* It is unlawful to sell or transfer a firearm capable of being concealed on one’s person to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or adjudicated a delinquent minor for conduct that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult. It is an affirmative defense that 10 years or more has elapsed since the unconditional discharge on the prior offense.

* It is unlawful to knowingly sell or transfer a firearm to a person whose physical or mental condition is substantially impaired as a result of an intoxicating liquor or drug, or to sell a firearm to a person less than 18.
"Jsatt" – this is from the official gun laws in Alaska – " Registration of handguns? No "

so apparently in my state, registration of a hand gun is not required

I’m mainly purchasing it for protection because I got robbed at gun point a couple months ago. Ok so if I’m 18 and a friend of mine is 21, can he purchase the pistol from the store, and then sell it to me?

"david" This is a gift from a friend that is 21. there’s no law keeping him from giving me the gun as a gift. "straw purchase" there’s no way to prove that. hey it’s Christmas and is the time for gift exchanges.

Registering handguns before selling (in Michigan).?

I have two handguns I’d like to sell (on consignment/to a licensed FFL dealer) but I’ve only recently looked at the laws in Michigan and I’m not sure what to do, or if I may have broken any laws.

Handgun #1
I used to live in Texas and received a handgun as a gift there. At least at the time, there was no requirement to register handguns. I moved to Michigan (Wayne county) several years ago and brought it with me. It’s just been sitting around and rusting but I could really use the cash now so I looked into selling. I was told by friends here when I moved that I didn’t need to, but NOW that I’m looking over Michigan law, I find that handgun registration is the law here! So I’m pretty sure that I need to register this weapon whether I sell it or not but I’m worried that there may be some fines (or worse) for having waited so long to do it. I can’t provide a bill of sale or a previous registration card for above reasons.

Handgun #2
I inherited from my Mom’s recently deceased fiancé. He had no written will but his other step-son (only other heir) told me he hated guns and that I should have it. I would like to sell this weapon too but am unsure if I need to re-register it first since I’m not the original owner it was registered to. I can’t provide a written Will or original registration (haven’t found it yet) but can provide a death cert. and I’m sure the step-son would vouch for me if necessary, if that helps at all.

I really want to do this the right way but am unsure how to do it. And I’m also a little concerned about getting a felony or something just for (stupidly) not filling out a form on handgun #1 years ago, so I’m reluctant to ask local law enforcement first. Thanks for your help.

Does www.fastfire.biz actually sell automatic bullet-firing guns?

www.fastfire.biz had an ad in the back of a magazine of Shotgun News i picked up the other day, advertising that they sold a wide variety of full auto guns chambered in .25acp (like a Browning Baby) that apparently would be mailed to the door of anyone over 18 years old. I looked through their site, and at first it looked like this was all just airsoft guns, but it doesn’t mention airsoft anywhere, only .25 (and .25acp specifically in a few places) which is not airsoft caliber. So am i to understand this site would allow an 18 year old to order a full auto .25acp UZI with silencer for 0 after you add ammo, and legally do whatever they want with it? I mean sure .25acp is not a very lethal round, about like a .22short, but still, an automatic firearm is still an automatic firearm, so how is this not a huge federal crime to be selling automatic handguns to people under 21 with no FFL license requirement on the shipping?
