The internet is one of the worst places to ask for legal advice (which is exactly what you're asking for) there is.
The only place I would ask your questions would be an attorney in the proper state.
Even if an attorney answers here, he's a lawyer, but he's not your lawyer.
Good luck!

Actually, they are the same thing. It sounds to me like you meant to say "what is legal and what is right are two different things." which would be a matter of opinion.
In pa the firearm can go from mother/father to son/daughter or vice versa. thats it no more no less............

The government will want you to pay a tax on your inherited items if you tell them about it, i would skip that part and keep it to yourself. They already got their tax on it at one time. It would be like feeding a rabid dog.

And out of a lawsuit and the poor house if that firearm is used illegally.
The Washington law does not require the FFL process for family members. I would have to check to be sure but I believe the law in Oregon allows transfer between family members as well.
Either way there are a number of counties that will not enforce the statutes because they are unlawful acts.

That's not true, the inheritance tax was done away with on the federal side. Some states do still require a state inheritance tax.
This is spot on
There is actually a legal difference. Any law can make something illegal but if it contradicts the constitution that law is unlawful. By definition it is not a law at all but an unlawful act that can be nullified by the people or by the state. There are lawful and legal ways to challenge an unlawful act and one is to ignore it.

Yup. Maybe philosophically, but practically unsound. If you have a hundred grand lying around for legal fees, go for it! Ever been accused of a crime when you did nothing wrong? My son was and it cost me twenty grand to clear him. Stand on principal all you want. It's your right. I'll keep my camo on and stay lost in the background. I'll support all the laws being changed with my vote and cash but I'll follow the existing laws until they change.

You mean to tell me the money I have been paying for my vehicle registrations and insurance coverage is an unlawful state law, and that I can legally drive while drunk? Where in the Constitution might I find that? We didn't have cars and trucks at that time, did we?
You folks need to learn the constitution. It is a document that grants certain powers to the federal government and restricts the states from certain actions. State tax laws are not explicitly prohibited in the constitution and certain powers of taxation are granted to the federal government under certain conditions.
The first ten amendments list the rights that all government is supposed to protect for individuals within the boundaries of the United States. It is unlawful for any government in the confines of the United States to limit or restrict any of our rights whether they are explicitly listed or not.
The way most of these posts are going I am amazed we have any rights left at all.

Are you aware of this statement: "The states retain the right to reasonable legislation"?
I started this post because he doesn't own any weapons or shoot at all. He has no criminal record whatsoever. He however is fed up with government regulations which is why I suppose he is going with the no need to do any paperwork. I'm simply trying to inform him what's right from a legal standpoint. As in keep him out of handcuffs if for whatever reason the cops find out he has them.
I believe that question has been answered but if you are not yet satisfied a call to the state AG will answer it quickly.
Show me where the constitution gives any branch of government, including the supreme court, any governance over the rights of the individual. The rights are listed, explicitly or implied in the first nine amendments and they recognize the sovereignty of the individual only.
That power is not granted to the court and that ruling by the court is an unlawful act if applied to our rights.

Very Simple. Don't ask, don't tell. Otherwise, you'll be buggered!
Uhm, no. The Supreme Court has judicial power that extends to all cases arising under the constitution. It's the first sentence of section two.
So if a case comes up about our rights, that's a case arising under the constitution, and the supreme court has judicial power over it.
Your reading sounds like what you want, but it definitely isn't the way it is.
