Here is a great post from A Keyboard and a .45. This was a blast from the past for me as I remember much talk of burying weapons and ammunition. I think the E-tools sold in record numbers between 1986 and 1996.
Long Term Underground Firearm and Ammo Storage
There is quite a bit of ‘net’ wisdom out there on the best way to prepare and store a firearm and ammunition for “just in case”. Most of this information is theoretical and should work out just fine, but in most cases the end results of these preparations have yet to be determined.
Backwoods Home Magazine has the end results of one such experiment.
By Charles Wood
Back in the early 1990s the outlook for the nation in general and gun owners in particular seemed rather grim to many people. A few years earlier in 1986, Congress had banned civilians from owning newly manufactured machine guns. There was ever more strident talk of banning semi-automatic weapons or so called assault weapons. Many of us regarded a semi-automatic rifle as the foundation of a home defense battery. Many of us believed that more laws banning ever more types of guns were imminent. About that time I acquired a Ruger Ranch Rifle through a private sale. I decided to stash it away in a safe place just in case my worst fear was to materialize, another gun ban.

Here is a great post from Snowflakes in Hell
Great Opinion Piece on Private Transfers
If we could get op-eds like this printed in local newspapers throughout the country, using the arguments outlined here, we’d be in far better shape for fighting on this issue than we are right now:
However, if some people had their way, my father would be a felon the next time he passed on a firearm to a family member. These people complain about a so-called “gun show loophole,” which, if you were to accept the rhetoric of firearm prohibitionists, is responsible for an endless stream of death and carnage.
In truth, attempts to close the “loophole” are really attacks on cherished freedoms that have been quietly enjoyed by millions of Americans since the founding of our nation. With the exception of those unfortunate residents of a few nanny-states, citizens of the U.S. always have been able to gift, buy, sell and trade firearms without the interference of government.

Actor’s $100K donation to benefit Phoenix officers
Gift expected to buy 50 semi-automatic rifles for Phoenix officers
by Michael Ferraresi - Dec. 23, 2008 12:00 AM
An unexpected donation from actor David Spade is expected to provide Phoenix police with enough money to buy an additional 50 semi-automatic rifles for patrol officers in 2009.
The $100,000 gift announced Monday means as many as 300 officers could soon be armed with Bushmaster AR-15s, even in light of recent debates between police and union officials about the availability of the high-powered weapons during the city’s ongoing budget strife.
Advocates said the need to arm more patrol officers with rifles has only grown since union officials proposed in 2006 that officers should be allowed to buy their rifles if the city is unable to provide them. Police leaders met recently on the issue but have yet to expand the self-purchase policy beyond handguns and shotguns. Spade, a Scottsdale Saguaro High School graduate, provided the money to a non-profit police foundation after seeing a jarring television news report about gun violence. Police leaders said Spade told them he was inspired to help keep the community safe.
The comic-turned-movie star provided the check to Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris early Monday but did not appear at the press conference. The Phoenix Police Foundation expects to use the $100,000 on rifles.

Here is a great post from Of Arms and the Law, the last two lines say it all.
Jerry Patterson for TX Senate seat
I’ve known him, and eaten and drank with him, and this is pure Jerry Patterson:
“”After a great deal of consideration, and much soul-searching, I am today formally announcing my intention to join many of my fellow elected officials and not seek the U.S. Senate seat,” said Patterson. “I have been urged by many of my fellow Texans to seek this seat . . actually only a few Texans . . . truthfully just a couple members of my staff and a few other officeholders who want my job . . . so I’ll sit this one out.”
…
“Just like Johnny Cash, I’d definitely take my guns to town,” Patterson said. “Living in D.C. would be tough only because of the lack of gun ranges and available ammunition.”
Paraphrasing his quote from a recent West Texas land controversy, Patterson added “No guns, no hunting, no Senate.”"
