Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

So what number constitute's " in common use " regarding civilian firearms

The other thread about Cabela's actually pimping " Tactical Firearms" as opposed to hiding them away like the bastard step children got me thinking

Since Heller essentially refered to the 2A protecting arms "in common use " as being off limits to a ban . What amount would that be ? How would it be measured ? Percentage of overall sales ? owners ? etc ?

90 Million gun owners = roughly 1/3rd the population

Any thoughts on legally establishing what "common use " would be defined as , as a method to throw another roadblock in the Anti's path ?? Or would doing so result in the un intended consequence of allowing the banishment of weapons that didnt meet the "common use " definition as trends ebb and flow ?
