Assault Rifle Ban....

[SP1966]

.... good luck with that. The technology just keeps on bleeding down to the lower end, the materials will continue to improve in their durability, you can't regulate this! They have put over 600 rounds through a 3D printed plastic AR lower end, and now 30 round magazines. These are plastic and can be printed on low end 3D printers, and the quality will just continue to improve to the point where these will almost be drop in replacements!! They are also working on a complete printable handgun! All of the CAD files are made available online at no charge and can be further improved and modified to suit your needs... think full auto should you choose!!

F'ck you to our inglorious leaders!!

Problem is they are doing a damn fin job of limiting the ammo supply. I might sound like a conspiracy nut but I think its deliberate.

You think? I'm wondering how much of that is just massive demand outstripping supply right now. At my local range I've never run into problems as far as ammo supply.

Why has the DHS bought 6 rounds for every man woman and child in the entire country over the last year? Or enough rounds to fight the peak month of the Iraq war for 18 months in a row.

Supposedly for training...over the next 5 years. 850Mil rounds are slated for customs and Immigration...not a bad thing IMO (unless we're shipping those off to cartels I guess lol)

[Wildtim]

yea this is someone we can trust and count on

Yep. Ammo is in short supply here. Luckily, I ordered a sh!tload of ammo online.

Why is this not a bad thing? Do you really think the DHS needs this much ammo?

What's a 1000 rounds of Wolf or Bear 7.62 selling for these days? I dropped by ammoman and it looks like they are out altogether. I have enough to keep the DHS in business for a good while... maybe time to make a $ or two and see what I can get for it.

[Wildtim]

about four times what it was selling for a year ago.

Found some decent prices (< $300/1000) but they are all out of stock.

This probably sounds like a crappy thing to say but when this latest round blows over and prices bottom out I'm going to invest in 5-10 AR kits and stash them away. I have a feeling I'll get a better return on them down the road than anything else I can invest in.

...so was everyone this upset when Ronald Reagan (A Republican) passed the first ban on assault weapons...?

If you believe that people are angry only because it is a Dem this time you are a fool. To answer your question, yes, it was bs then, its bs now.

...so was everyone this upset when Ronald Reagan (A Republican) passed the first ban on assault weapons...?

^ This isn't an accurate statement, well, the statement part of it.

"Assault weapons" are a made up term that post-date Reagan's presidency. As for the combined acts of Congress and the President during Reagan's time, they made owning automatic weapons manufactured after a certain date illegal to buy. Whether or not this is different in principle is debatable. As to whether or not everyone was this upset? Well, I was 9 years old when he became president.

edit: And if he were alive today and significant in the goings-on of society and did support the legislation being kicked around in DC I would oppose him as well. Is Reagan supposed to be sacred or something?

When Did Reagan Pass any legislation that Banned Weapons from the Private Citizen, other than Automatics ?, it certainly wasn`t the Firearm Owners Protection act & or that he nominated some Pretty staunch 2nd amendment Believers to the Supreme Court, if your thinking Brady Bill that was signed after he left office.-----------And to Compare Ronald Reagan with ANYTHING this current administration is doing is folly-----------------------------{ "The trouble with our Liberal Friends, its not that they`re ignorant, it`s just that they know so much that isn`t so"------Ronald Reagan}

I dunno. Didn't own guns back then........




Was trying to figure out how to get laid every weekend.





Guns? Meh.......

hard to tell what "everyone" was thinking back then. We all knew what our own social circle's views were on various subjects.

now with all the social media out there- we hear "everyone's" thoughts. Good points / bad points to each....

Limiting the ammo supply is a very logical choice if you want gun control. If you ban this gun or that gun...well OK but to be honest there's no really great criteria for what should 'be banned'. Well you get the same issue with what kind of ammo should be 'limited' as well, right?

I don't know how they practically would be currently limiting the ammo supply...but I am surprised they aren't going after a tax on certain kinds of ammunition rather than an 'assault weapon ban' which is so impossible really to even define.
