just like in new orleans but with more volume and alot more force.basically how the chinese would take them from there people.

its not freedom
**** your constitution and your rights.
the mind fucked military and local pd forces will try but with no luck.

i have alot of military and pd friends and they will not except those orders.but there will be some that do.those are the ones that will meet there maker.
thanks to bush we now have an agreement with canada to use each others forces on each others citizens if need be.
so basically the us military wont go door to door?then they will call in canadian forces to do it for them.

peelum from my hands *******,if you can get past the lead flyin!

So you mean to say that they will require people to turn in their guns. I doubt they can constitutionally make that legal. If they do, then it becomes what they call law, and your *** is grass if you go against it; atleast if you point a gun their way. If you fight it legally, you have a better chance. Just my .02.

Ever hear of prohibition? I bet there were people that thought they'd never legally outlaw drinking too.

I bought a Colt 6920 m4 carbine and put a Trijicon TA31f on it a couple of weeks ago.
I guess Ill buy an AK for resale later.

Two things I don't understand...

1. If having an AR-15 or AK-47 is so critical to living and functioning as an American, why are people just buying them now? If it was that big a deal, why not buy them years ago?

I don't believe there will be any meaningful gun bans, but if there were, it seems like what many people want is to buy certain guns so they can defend themselves from having them subsequently confiscated, but if there was no threat of a ban, they wouldn't have them anyway.

2. Did no one have the foresight to consider buying these things before the gun sellers and manufacturers began touting a panic over gun bans? I guess you guys just like paying a premium.

If the sale of aftermarket parts for cars were going to be outlawed, do you think people would start buying more parts?

dude there not just long range guns. My ar has a colapsable stock with a 14 inch barrel. Shorter than any shotgun. And also trust me you can pick any hand gun you want and if you get into a short range gun fight with a guy with an ar you will loose. trust me

Accuracy? Shot placement? You must be bad at both.

That makes no sense, buying a weapon doesn't necessarily translate to buying brand new off the shelf "premium" guns. There are unknown numbers of guns circulating already. You can ****** a used rifle for cheap depending on where you look. If you do not think there will be any "meaningful gun bans" you are mistaken. Any attempt or small successful ban or limit is meaningful...and to answer your second question, yes we have. Except now there is a rush to get them before any ridiculous bans are implimented.

Do you not pay for premium parts for your cars if there are money well spent in your mind? What about wheels and tires? Brands of clothes, food, drinks?

If a certain beverage or food item was to be banned and you loved it, woulnd't you scoop up a bunch? Cuban cigars ring a bell? Nothing special about them other than they are not to be imported.

Ok, so you have a long range weapon for short range use. Unless its just your personal preference, you my friend wasted money. You have better chances of hitting someone with a shotty than with your AR in close quarters. And since most people buy these weapons for self defense, shotty makes more sense, unless ofcourse you like collecting guns. I doubt you will aim and shoot someone 100 meters away in "self defense".

Not trying to be an *** to you, but we can start a constructive discussion on this.

I think its just gonna be like it was under the Clinton administration. I remember during those times ar's and ak's were high dollar. Saw some ar's at the gun show a couple weeks ago for around 1k and ak's for around 500. If you look on gun broker, ar's are now going for close to 2k. Not sure about ak's cause I dont like them. I would buy one to turn a profit though. My Colt M4 carbine is stamped Military and law enforcement only and was perfectly legal to buy and use by any law abiding citizen. That will be different if there is a ban an assult rifles.
