Do you have a license to sell guns, or will you be selling them through a licensed broker?

This community suffers from short-term memory loss. Atlas has yet again abandoned a project to focus on another hare-brained scheme. I'm sure this idea will be dead within a week.

Taking advice on firearms regulations from faceless people over the internet? What could possibly go wrong?

Atlas - you probably don't have the money to consult a lawyer on this, so don't do it. If you can consult a lawyer (not a friend who's a law student, or a guy who spent a few weeks last summer reading the US Code, you need a lawyer who will put their balls on the line with actual legal advice) then go for it, but don't throw away your life over some bullshit.

Apparently there was a gun shop near where I live where the guy overlooked a few FFL restrictions and got caught, and he'll probably die in prison. At your age, you won't - but you might wish you had, and spending a good portion of your prime working years in lockup is going to change your Randian outlook significantly (there aren't many people who get locked up as a teen and then come out to become captains of industry).

Also knives for self defense are next to useless - they're no replacement for a firearm, they carry significantly more risk to the person using them, you get blood all over you if you do have to use one and it's really tough to look the part of a rational individual in the event you end up in the defendant's chair over a knife fight. If your jurisdiction doesn't allow handguns for self defense they probably don't allow knives either.

Pepper spray is equally useless, even people whom are correctly trained in it's use wind up macing themselves - most folks who buy it have never actually fired it off in their lives they just carry it for that warm fuzzy feeling. It also stands about as much chance at stopping a motivated attacker as a swift kick in the nuts (which is free, and you can't forget and leave it at home or in your car).

Seriously though, do this shit right or don't do it at all.

I'm thinking a few canisters of sarin, or perhaps even some VX if you can get ahold of it. Maybe some atropine in case the kids get a little too curious. This would be for a home defense system, of course. People are a lot less likely to break in and steal things if the neighborhood is going to be flooded with nerve gas.

I wish you luck removing guns from everybody including the aggressors. Arming people may not be the ideal solution but it is the most optimal. People would be able to be on equal grounds faster if there were no limitations on people arming themselves but that's another argument for another day.

It's a pleasure discussing this with you.

Also, I do not plan on selling firearms at this time. Only lower-tier non-lethal security tools.

I got PMs from a few people, and we're doing it. We're going to build a dreadnaught funded by bitcoins. Please donate for the cause. P.S. If you don't donate to the cause, you're against the cause.

Due to legal issues, BitPeace will not be offering the original selection it intended.
