Federal firearms license, you can’t have a gun shipped to your door, it has to be sent to a local gun dealer who will charge you small fee for it.

FFL mean its a registered firearms dealer. You pay a fee (determined by the dealer) usually 20-40 bucks, and they accept transfer of your firearm. You then pass the background check through said dealer. Mosin’s can be had from $80+ on [gunbroker.com](http://gunbroker.com) ---

I’ve seen this a few times, maybe someone can explain. So he has an m4 handguard, gas system and front sights, but on a 20" (I think) barrel? What is the point, because it looks tacticool and sorta looks like an m4? :ponder ![http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/nerebomber/1225091054.jpg](http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/nerebomber/1225091054.jpg) ---

I hate NY gun laws. Can’t even get a pistol without jumping through a dozen bureaucratic hoops. And it will be limited to 10 rounds anyway. ---

True, but in reality for civilians the 30rd mags are pointless. The guns are not fully auto and not blowing through ~800rds/min. No matter what you’re shooting at(esp hunting wise) if you can’t hit it with the first 1 or 2 rounds, let alone 10, then you shouldn’t be shooting anyway. There are alot of other stupid NYS gun laws and regulations that I’m more upset over than the mag capacity. ---

Personally I don’t particularly care about 10 round limit on rifles since for range plinking it’s fine, and I don’t subscribe to the whole “I needs me a tacticool gun to fight teh zombehs” asininity. But it bothers me in regards to pistols for some reason :lol. Imported shotguns capped at 5 rounds are pretty silly as well. ---

all rifles are limited to 5 rds when being used for hunting no matter what the fire arm is. hell, i guess we are just lucky that the government even allows us to own guns at the rate we are going. lol ---
