[drt4lfe]

looks like I missed some conversations during my break....lol....as we all know it takes a person bent on causing harm to hurt and kill people with any weapon....there are hundreds of different kinds of semi-automatic rifles built or brought into the U.S. and any number of them can do the same damage.....the AR15 is easy to get and cheap especially after Trump was elected....the AR15 is not the problem....I will be keeping mine.....

I don't think we should even think of a ban, like it is acceptable. Then, maybe some day it will be. We have to continue fighting for what's right and for the 2nd amendment. It was put in place for a reason, a long time ago. Our Constitution is what seperates us from the rest of the world and makes us the greatest country on earth.

Totally agree...but I'm also a realist. I don't want it to happen, but at this point, I think it will be inevitable. I know too many otherwise intelligent people who think it's a fine idea to ban them all. And that is only going to grow as these incidents increase, and they will.

We are being set up and played for fools. Have you seen the info about the poster kid for the anti-gun marches? He's the kid of a former FBI guy, aspiring journalist, and obviously coached and rehearsed for Pete's sake! (if you find it before they remove it, there's even video of him going over lines before his "interview"...) I really hate being right about this...believe me...it sucks big time, watching the country get suckered like this, and knowing this agenda is being bought by the blood of our kids...but it is a devious yet foolproof plan folks.

Its not one sided . There are thoes that will try to use any tragedy to push their Globalist agenda but there are many others that will not let the hysteria after a tragic event influence life changing decisions.
Watch how this plays out .
I could care less about bump stocks and such junk but I don't want to see anything banned over the actions of a criminal . This may happen but I do not see a AR15 bann or magazine bann coming . No One gets everything they want . But Conservatives will save more than Liberals will gain on this subject .

For now, yes. But, 3 months from now, after at least 3 more mass shooting incidents? Maybe not then.

I sure hope you are right!

A newscaster on CNN brought up a truly excellent point with regards to banning the AR15:

Matt Caldwell (Republican, FL), proposed and got a bill passed declaring pornography a public health threat, yet refused to entertain a bill debating assault weapons.

So...porn is more dangerous to society than assault weapons.

Mind you, I'm not saying that I agree with the newscaster (Brooke Baldwin), but she does make an excellent point.

The AR 15 is not an assault weapon. Assault weapons are already illegal.

The AR 15 is just another semi-automatic rifle that can have a magazine. Just as many hunting rifles.

Being black and scary looking does not make a gun an "assault weapon".

Here is where the media plays games with words.

"Assault Rifle" has a very specific definition: "An assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle

"Assault Weapon" however is a made up term used by the media and politicians to mean anything they want it to mean. And the closest thing to an actual definition is literally "scary looking weapons."

It's already gone up here, if one can even find them in stock, 5.56 ammo has gone up too, wife purchased IMI 420rnd can of green tip for $119 from Midwayusa, that same can of ammo gone up to $209, all the Federal 55gr/62gr in 420rnd cans that were on-sale have gone off sale with price increases, not as high as IMI but noticeably higher, 30rnd magazines are starting to climb in prices, our local Cabelas were out of the magazines as our local gun stores, Starting to look like 2013 and 2016 all over again.

that is a lot of ammo


I have a friend in Florida,the last I heard he was sitting on 1/2 million rounds of ammo,,,,,they ever find it they will lock him up and throw away the key

We do a lot of shooting here, some of my sons Law Enforcement buddies come up to shoot and we always supply the ammo but on average we keep around 10k just for shooting practice and that's what she purchases for.

 

[grayghost668]

I doubt that I have 500 rounds of ammo around here,but to be honest I don't think there will ever be a need for a large amount ,I just hunt and sometimes go to the range to sight in a rifle


with all the crap going on right now I do plan on getting enough to last me the rest of my hunting days,even going over board I won't have 2500 rds on the property,,,,

 

[drt4lfe]

IMO you can't have enough ammo, just don't keep it all in one place......
