Hi,
Portugal, Algarve southern Portugal.
But for what I heard I think that Obama is trying to do almost the same with USA, if it weren't for the NRA I think we'd be on the same boat.

Hi!
This is kind of OT but I love firearms so I'm not complaining.
Yesterday I went to find out what I needed to get a licence to buy .22LR ammo.
I found out that it is a process that takes about a year and costs me about 700$.
Then, every year I need a medical exam, a clean criminal record, to participate in at least one shooting tournament, and about 300$ more every year just to keep the license.
And this is only to be allowed to use someone elses gun. If I want to buy one it'll cost me about 1200$ a year, just for insurance and paperwork. And if by any chance I get a fine for driving with too much alcool I'll loose it permanently. Even if I'm not carrying the gun with me. I don't drink, so this is the least of my problems.
What I wanted you to know is the diference between our laws and yours.
Here, in the last 6 years the government has taken away the guns from honest people's hands but at the same time he softened the criminal laws.
For 6 years it has been impossible to get a gun permit for defense.
So, I'm more than eager to learn about casting bullets, rifling a barrel or making my own gunpowder.

Years and years ago, Corbin used to claim their swaging dies and jacket
drawing dies could be used in a heavy duty reloading press (the compound
leverage single station type made for large magnum rifle cartridge --
one such used to be called Rock Crusher). The reloading presses were a
bit less spendy than the Corbin branded press -- but not a whole bunch
less. For that matter, though, a reloading press is an item that could
easily be made from an aluminum casting (you'd just need hella heavy
supports compared to the steel ones). Get a good look at a commercially
made press and measure the thread on a set of Corbin's dies and you're
off -- you'll need a thread adapter to use reloading dies in the same
press, but that's a piece of cake if you have a lathe with change gears.

If, through hard work and perseverance, you finally get what you want,
it's probably a sign you weren't dreaming big enough.
