Licensing of lumber on the way?
From a Minnesota news website:
"A northern Minnesota man is facing a second-degree murder charge after he admitted to killing another man with a piece of lumber. According to charging documents filed in Beltrami County District Court, 21-year-old Scott A. Schulman, of Cass Lake, struck a man with a 2x4 multiple times in the head,...."

God only knows how high the price of a 2x4, already $11.99 "every-day price" at some MN big-box stores, will soar when the lumber-control groups go into action. I predict a surge in lumber licensing and red-flag laws determining who can and can't own boards. Possession of an unregistered 2x4 will mean serious prison time. Soon only the bad guys will own framing lumber.

I run a sawmill in my spare time as a hobby. I wonder what the FLL (Federal Lumber License) fees will be. Will I have to register with the BATOE (Bureau of Ash, Teak, Oak and Elm)?

a good piece of hickory is hard to beat

Will chop saws be banned as rapid fire cutting devices?

so if we have BATOE would pine add a +P designation

Since I build homes for a living do you think I will need a special license to have more than a few hundred 2x4's in my possession at one time? Will all my employees have to carry the same credentials? One more though, what kind of issues will there be transporting said items across state lines? I sure hope any permits will be recognized all 50 states. I would wager there will be a big stink about making a 2x4 into two 2x2's, something like altering the intended use. 😥

Are the studs in my walls concealed weapons? If my house is over 100 years old do the studs qualify as antiques and not need a background check if I sell the house? Does insulation qualify as an illegal suppressor? Bob

I can't support David Chipman for director of ATF until he can give me his definition of an "assault board". I am afraid that he will outlaw anything larger than cove base.

I can just see the T-shirts and ball caps now-
Molon Lumber!
Anything from Ikea will have a 3 day waiting period.
And don't get me started on the military grade dowels.

I shudder to think about the 8 foot 4x4, "Assault Timber" in Pressure Treated! We have to get those off the streets.

My full automatic chain driven saw is in the shop. Hope I get it back if they ever find an air filter for the old saw.
Anybody make a homemade air filter for an old McCullough?
