Where can I get a Ruger 10/22 near Buffalo, NY, can I buy one at Wal-Mart? Any idea how much they cost?

Where can I get a Ruger 10/22 anywhere near Buffalo, NY, can I buy one at Wal-Mart? Any idea how much they cost? I am a non-resident citizen, actually from NJ, do they usually ask for anything more than a driver’s license to do a background check? I am making a trip back from there soon so any store near interstate 390 or 86 is good too. I would prefer to buy from a large retail store, like Dick’s sporting goods, etc. I plan on taking in unloaded in my trunk back to NJ, so that would be legal under federal law. The only gray area is that technically the dealers is supposed see a New Jersey Firearm Purchaser ID even if I buy out-of-state, but I heard a lot of places outside NJ don’t know or don’t care. I only need the ID to buy it in NJ not to possess one in NJ. Anyone have any experience with buying out-of-state?

Why does the USA not have better gun control laws?

It is crazy that you can go down to your local Wal-Mart and buy a gun and then go out and kill at will!!! Why are there not any emotional testing or better back ground checks….What is wrong with a society that has seen so many mass killings and does nothing to change the laws?

Questions regarding gun rights and YOUR views?

Answer each with "Yes", "No", or "Undecided"-

1. Do you agree with Barack Obama that Americans should be forced to apply for a government license before purchasing a firearm?
2. Do you agree with Barack Obama that the federal government should overturn the Right-to-Carry protections that are now in place in 40 states?
3. Do you agree with Barack Obama that all gun stores within five miles of a school or par should be forced to shut down?
4. Do you support what politicians like Chuck Schumer who are using their power in the US Senate to block pro-Second Amendment judicial nominees from being confirmed as judges on our federal courts?
5. Do you agree with Barack Obama that certain firearms should be banned based only on the way they look?
6. Do you agree with Barack Obama that cities and municiplaities should be allowed to ban handguns?
7. Do you agree with Barack Obama that convicted felons such as murderers and rapists–should automatically be allowed to vote in future elections?
8. Do you believe that national media polls claiming that Americans want more gun control are fair, and that they accurately represent the views of voters like you?
9. Would you vote for a candidate who supports proposed UN treaties giving UM bureaucrats the power to dictate America’s policies on firearms?
10. Would you KNOWINGLY vote for any candidate who supports any portion of the gun-ban lobby’s anti-Second Amendment agenda?

I just saw these questions and was curious how others would answer them… this is NOT at all about right or wrong, liberal or conservative, but just my wondering how others feel?
Avail… you don’t even have to be a citizen to vote. Probably the most amazing, beautiful blessing-to vote, yet any illegal or dead person can cast their ballot…
Do you think the distance of a store to purchase bullets at (Wal Mart ring a bell for one thing) is going to stop someone who is literally insane enough to do that? Distance doesn’t stop evil, it just makes it take a little longer.
That is actually one reason my children won’t go to public school… and that is why I support that teachers should be armed as well-or at least have the option to be.
In spite of my views on gun ownership, I do appreciate all the answers you guys (or girls) are giving…

obama's new gun control?

They can’t pass gun control so look what they are doing!

This is just further proof that Obama has loaded our Military with idiots at the highest level!

PROOF THAT WE HAVE SOME IDIOTS IN WASHINGTON

This is totally crazy and it should make you want to slap the idiots we have in Washington DC .

Georgia Arms is the 5th largest retailer of .223 Ammo in America. They sell 9mm, .45, .223 ammunition. They normally buy spent brass from the US Department of Defense. Spent brass is "one time used" shell cases used by our Military for training purposes.

They buy the brass, recondition it, and then reload the brass for resale to Law Enforcement, Gun Clubs, Gun Shops, and stores like Wal-Mart. They normally buy 30,000 lbs of spent brass at a time.

This week the DoD wrote a letter to the owner of Georgia Arms and informed him that from now on the DoD will be destroying the spent brass, shredding it. It will no longer be available to the ammo makers, unless they buy it in a scrap shredded condition (which they have no use for).

The shredded brass is now going to be sold by the DoD to China as scrap metal, after the DoD pays for it to be shredded. The DoD is selling the brass to China for less money than the ammo makers have been paying, plus the DoD has to pay to have the brass shredded and do the accounting paperwork.

This sure helps the economy now doesn’t it? Sell cheaper to China, and do not sell at all to a proven US business. Any hidden agenda working here? Obama going after the Firearms Industry and our ammunition!!
The Georgia Arms owner even related a story that one of his competitors had already purchased a load of brass last week. The DoD contacted him this week and said they were sending someone over to make sure it was destroyed. Shell cases he had already bought!

The brass has no value to the ammo maker if it is destroyed/shredded/melted.
The ammo manufacturer only uses the empty brass cases to reload different calibers, mainly .223 bullets.

The owner of Georgia Arms says that he will have to lay off at least half of his 60 workers, within 2-3 months if the DoD will no longer sell spent brass cases to the industry. Georgia Arms has 2-3 months of inventory to use, by summer they’re out.

If the Reloading Industry has to purchase new manufacture brass cases, then the cost of ammunition will double or even triple, plus Obama wants to add a 500% tax on each shell.
