Guess all those posting from Canada are getting ready to turn them in? (If the current administration continues, we won't be far behind down here)..

My buddy has one and we do trap shooting at an outdoor range with it. Nothing like shooting a flying can out of the air

The current government have been excellent salespeople for guns with all of these shenanigans. Record amounts of legal guns have been purchased this year with the looming bans... I've gone from 0 to 3 guns in just a few months. Completely hooked on this hobby after my first range visit, and I have plans for several hunting trips next year already. Family as of today: HOWA1500 6.5 Creedmoor + MDT XRS Chassis + Athlon Argos BTR G2 6-24x50 CZ527 Carbine 7.62x39 + Vortex Crossfire 1-4x24 CZ457 Varmint 22lr + Vortex Diamondback 4-16x44 |

Will say one thing for our northern neighbors, they really know how to make fine chassis systems... Had MDT TAC21 on my Savage 10 and got my brother the MDT XRS for his Savage 10. Recently ordered the Blackfeather RS for an M1A... hopefully no issues receiving it during the ~month long wait for it.

all i'm going to say on the matter is this: when a group of gang members decide to do a drive-by, are they checking if each participants firearm is properly acquired, registered, and everyone has their appropriate personal registration details as well?
laws only stop honest people. no different than door locks.

And the odds of anything actually being banned are between nil and zero.
I have several guns including 4 AR pattern rifles. My favorites are a home built custom in 260 REM, an Annie MPR, a Ruger super Blackhawk Bisley in .45 C, and a 4” Walter PPQ in 9mm. I don’t see any of them being banned in my lifetime. I’m sure my kids will inherit all of them. All that said, one day, when the paranoia peaks again, I may sell an AR or 2.

A best mm pistol I decided on getting just came in today...
Installed Amory Craft adjustable trigger, positive reset spring, and takedown lever which had waiting for it... much better than stock. Fits like a glove in the Four Brothers duty/competition drop holster as well. Only thing left I'd really like to change is the sights... not a fan of the same colored night sights, how low they are, or how weakly they illuminate. Looking to try out some Night Fision sights for it.

Like the EPA banning car things, talking about it isn't political at all.

The fact is self-defense from strangers, or stranger homicides, are a small percentage of gun deaths, and gang-on-gang violence is far more common than gang-on-random-civilian violence. Most people who are murdered are killed by family or acquaintances, so in many ways, it is “good” people with guns that are the bigger problem than bad people. “Good” people with guns commit the majority of mass shooting, which while small, are incredibly impactful to communities that are affected. Suicides are more than half of gun deaths, so again, “good honest” people using guns and not strangers/criminals are the bigger problem. But in regards to violent criminals, many people with violent histories and who have records legally purchase weapons or have very easy access to obtain guns illegally. Seems like the obvious solution is to eliminate hand guns and assault style guns, as neither are needed for hunting or home defense. A limited number of bolt-action hunting rifles and small shotguns can be owned per household. Rentals with GPS tagged guns on hunting grounds after providing license is possible. Red flag laws and background checks should be tight. People should need a license to own a gun, which greatly increases responsible gun access and ownership. I’ve considered whether there could be access to renting hand guns and assault guns at shooting ranges, but the chance of theft and likelihood the guns will get into the hands of criminals goes up. Seems like bullet control is best. There should be no bullets for hand guns or assault style guns available. Shot guns are limited to low capacity chambers like 3-5. Murder rose by 30% in 2020 and aggravated assaults rose 12%, but rape and robbery went down. Most people justify needing a firearm for self-defense from strangers, but is it warranted? https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...rders-in-2020/

That table with number of guns owned vs the number of so called "mass shootings" just tells you that it has nothing to do with guns. Rather it has something to do with the health of the society, or lack thereof.
And forcing more retarded regulations and limitations doesn't contribute to the society's health, well in a positive way at least. |

Ok. Now that those so inclined have ejaculated, let’s all enjoy the refractory interval and relax. This is ‘murika. Little to nothing useful will happen.
