But I just left the gun store and stocked up pretty big on the items Obama is looking to restrict and or ban.....Bought an AK-47 and several high capacity magazines....


Also about 200 various rounds of ammo.....i look at the AK as an investment more than anything else...

Just out of curiosity, what did you give for the AK. Prices are crazy in Texas

I dont think we will see a ban yet. Throughout history when the Dictators have forced control on the people they usually started with 1 thing. A National registry. That is what will result from tomorrows play acting at the White House. They are used car salesmen they know no other way. They are scaring you by saying the bar will be real high so when they eventually settle for a National Registry everyone will say 'Ok thats not so bad"
Then they will begin to disarm people, if your pulled over and arrested for say DWI they will ck the database see u have guns and a SWAT team will be at your house in minutes...youll never see ur gun again.
Your wife goes to the school to complain about a teacher....they call the police and say your a nut and a mental case...they ck the database and if u have guns ur SWAT teamed.
Go to church? Mental case....SWAT team
Support a candidate they dont like?? Terrorist leanings.... SWAT team
Donate to a cause they dont like?? Radical beliefs= Mental case =SWAT team
Neighbors dont think u cut your grass often enough? SWAT team
Dont believe in Global Warming?? SWAT team
Protest being forced to give up your money (in the form of taxes) to pay for abortions which are against your religious beliefs??? SWAT TEAM
Dont believe in Gay Marriage or attend a church where that is preached?? SWAT team
Cut down a tree or maybe clear off a lot they designate as protected?? Enviromental terrorist = SWAT team
Child picked up at the Mall for shoplifting....SWAT team


Error in the database shows you have a gun that the SWAT team cant find???? Say goodbye to freedom and hello to your new home in a FEMA camp...

950 for the AK...Serbian....7.62

50 per 30 round magazine

Thats not too bad. I have not seen this for myself, but I heard the prices at the gun shows around here were marked up 2-3 times on AR's. And they are stupid crowded

I don't own a gun or know much about guns, but why do individuals own so many guns? I am not asking to start a debate, I am curious? Also, why are guns so
damn expensive (maybe a stupid question), but the mechanics of it appear pretty basic.

Also, is there is a limit on what you can purchase, number of guns and amount of ammo?

Ya Florida gun show is ft lauderdale is expecting to shatter records for attendance. The stores and shows cannot keep with demand. I have never seen anything like this.

just glad I have everything I need already. I estimate that in 2 years from now you will see a full assault weapons ban , 10 round max magazines and outrageously overbearing rules on who can purchase any type of firearm.

Prices will also triple in that time period

why do individuals need so many guns? No clue. Why do people need more than one car? Hard to answer why someone needs anything. One mans logic can't be reasonably be applied to another man. I may feel I need to protect against zombies, or I like collecting, or I like target practice. Doesn't really matter. If the law allows it I can have as many guns without having to justifyit

Guns are expensive because of the engineering involved. Like a watch some guns are very sophisticated machines.

no limits at least in my state on number of guns or ammo....

Common, that is a bullshit answer on why people need so many guns. Is it like a car, where each one handles so differently? I am asking you question about something I know nothing about. What is the difference in basic pistol that a person would own 10. I get the differnce in a shotgun and a pistol.

Ok big ten the basic differences are as follows

rifles are typically used for hunting,target shooting and defense of a large area of land
pistols are used for self defense in a carry situation and home invasion.. Also good for target practice
Shotguns mostly used for hunting but can be used for home defense as well

very basic description with many variations but you get the general idea

Try and compare it to golf clubs... A complete novice might ask why you need so many clubs when they all seem to serve the same purpose... We all know each club has a specific use for a situation... Same with guns

Very good description.

I have a .22 rifle to shoot at targets....bullets are cheap....and easy to handle. I have a .45 handgun for self-defense. I also have a .32 (small, easier to conceal).

I have a good friend that is a retired Coast Guard Gunner's Mate (Senior Chief/E8). He works for the State Department now teaching weapons training in Quantico at the FBI/State Dept facility. He builds and sells weapons as a hobby/for side money. He said it is nearly impossible to get just the basic core of an assault rifle right now...and if you can find one it's likely 3x what it would normall sell for. I have no interest in getting one....but I've shot plenty of them and they are fun to shoot.

you may be right, hopefully not. But id sure as hell hate to be the person going around trying to collect em around here.
Im pretty sure it wont end pretty. People need to start standing up for themselves cause this would just be the beginning.

And Assault Rifles are used for mass murders, you missed that part.

I have no problem with a person having guns in their house, will never understand the need for assault rifles in a house.
