GUNS & AMMO

I thought I might have a chance at picking up a leftover something semiauto in 5.56 this weekend but that looks to be damn near impossible. My wife didn't get it before and still thinks we can find something in a month. My expectations are not so high.
 
Was the M1A part of the original assault weapons ban? If I could only pick one "deadly weapon whose only purpose is to kill" it would be that. If its not at risk of being banned under a renewed assault weapons ban then I'll grab something different before rushing out to get the M1A.

If they model it after the existing CA one M1A is fine without a flash supressor. I don't know all the details on the expired federal ban since I wasn't in to guns then.

I do know it had somethign to do with bayonet lugs, CA doen't give a shit about that. Hey, at least we got one thing. :gee:
 
Well I did a little bit of research and it seems that the Flash Hiders were changed and the bayonet lugs removed on the post-ban variants. I'm ok with all that, so hopefully if they do reinstate an assault weapons ban my precious M1A will be safe.
 
Yeah, but if you already own it you already own it.

With my SKS in pieces I think it's time I finally cave in and by an AR. Nothing fancy, just a basic short barrel flat top variant like the DPMS Oracle. Even with a potential ban I'll be able to get GI mags w/o too much fuss.

The M1A though is my "if I could only grab one" rifle. Along the same lines as Skully's AR-10.
 
But i believe they will come and get them if you don't turn them in when asked jmho

You will see the end of the US as we know it and the start of the next revolutionary war.

As stupid as they are, congress is smarter than that. Even Fienstine or however you spell her stupid name said she has no intention of confiscating weapons and if ANYONE wanted to and would try, it would be her.
 
I would be very, very surprised if they went the confiscation route. They may do a ban and may do a transfer ban but I don't think they'll take them away.
 
Yeah, I don't know of too many Federal agents/employees that would be willing to keep their jobs if they had to try to confiscate guns. There'd be quite a few of 'em shot or dead for trying.

I wouldn't follow those orders.........
 
Yeah, they'd probably mobilize the National Guard to support the LEO's who had to confiscate peoples guns. I can tell you that at least 90% of us in the National Guard would either fail to show up or fail to provide any real support to any LEO or Government Agent stupid enough to try and take peoples guns.
 

Dude. Hadn't heard of this. Been on the site for 2 hrs and still looking/reading. Very interesting.

Wonder why they stop at Military/Fire/LEOs? Why not Judges, Magistrates, Attorneys, Congressmen, Senators????

Why not include those who will refuse to GIVE those orders?
 
Frank, amen to that!

On another note, I just renewed my NRA membership for 5 more years. I'd gladly accept it if someone here bought me a Lifetime Membership.
 
I got 1 word for you guys that love to brag about your weapons cache.....

Boating.

LOL....... they'd still have to PROVE I own or ever owned any of them.

If it weren't for that unfortunate canoe incident..... I'd have more than just photos and postings of the guns I once had. No real big deal anyway..... I was only bragging.

Oh and how did y'all like the photochopping I did to make my 10 round mags look like high capacity mags? Good yeah? Even I can't see the pixelation......
