I really don't get how the people in NY haven't burned down the state house yet. "You can have 10 round mags, BUT DON'T YOU DARE LOAD EIGHT YOU GODDAMNED PEON." Really, it's friggin lunacy.

I'm not going to celebrate just yet. Those bastards were probably expecting this. They'll still get something through, and at that point we will have lost no matter what we've done. We might have stopped their AWB, but if a capacity ban gets through, it will have been a pyrrhic victory at best.

And that used to be $600 and under...

I'd like to get the entire story before I make a decision of whether or not to help this guy, but if things are as they seem and this guy got busted over an illegal search and seizure, he would deserve our support. Hell, even if it was a fair grab, the law isn't right, and not fighting against it is just as bad as casting your vote for the people who put this crap up.

They should have put more of their argument into the fact that this is a restriction on a Constitutional right and that it sets precedent for EVERY SINGLE OTHER right outlined in the bill of rights to be so regulated. How about "One comment disagreeing with the government per month?" or "One warranted search of your premises per month (After which they can search it as much as they damn please)?" Of course, even with that they probably would have ruled against it. This government is nearing the ninth circle of hell.

I klnow what you mean. We all have that "one." Mine is the Mauser C96. I think that's the only firearm I'd actually heavily consider giving up a kidney for.

Yeah. I can't even find decently priced .357 Mag anywhere. This sucks.

Last I checked, a box or two of buckshot hasn't really gone up in price (not sure if they have any locally though). About $5 (per five).

CONSIDER TO BUYING NAGANT REVOLVER. IS WEAPON OF DEFEND PROLETARIAT AND WILL MAKE FINGER LIKE IRON AND GIVE POWER TO STRANGLE SMALL RODENT.

How many we talkin'?

Disagreeing with the implementation of a government safety initiative. Estimated re-education time: Six months, four days, seventeen hours.

The going rate for the P226 was around $700-800 I believe, pre-rush of course.

The dead can't sue.

That's pretty douche. Who was this guy?

CZ 75B, if you can find one. Actually, add that qualifier to the end of pretty much every semi-auto right now except maybe 1911s. If you can find one. There's always revolvers!

How about children in police uniforms? Twice as effective!

Ruger GP100 is around the $500-600 range new and is pretty similar to the SP101, albeit bulkier. For $700 you could also try for some Smiths, new or used. The 686 is a great one.

B-b-b-b-b-but only the police should have guns! A-and all you need is 911! BRAGGLEFRAGGLE!

I knew that Deus Ex was right.

Do they really think they have the numbers to make any sizable dent? Not to mention, do they think that this won't draw them massive amounts of shit?

MINORITEAM, ASSEMBLE! Well, I'm a minority, but I've never been one for public speaking. That's why I write instead. :ph34r:

I like how they think that this accomplishes something. I'm betting 9/10 of those guns there were owned by people who inherited them and didn't want them, and the rest don't even constitute 0.1% of the firearms used in crimes.

You mean the one we asked for like two weeks ago?

Here's the email I sent: Dear Task Force, As you move forward, I hope that you will take into consideration proven research and statistics on gun control and not act solely on emotion or some flawed vision of a weapons-free utopia. One needs only to look at nations such as Britain and even to cities within our own country (Chicago, Washington D.C.) to know that banning certain types of weaponry will not work in reducing crime and will instead simply restrict a subset of arms from being used by people that have not the will or capacity to commit murder and assault. I would also have you look at the FBI murder statistics from the past twenty years, which shows that murder rates have been steadily decreasing despite a proliferation of firearms culture and an overall loosening of restrictions on firearms laws throughout the states. Please also consider the constitutionality of the matter. We are a nation that protects the legal ownership of weaponry by the people, and not for sport or hunting purposes; we have arms as a safeguard against the evils of tyranny, so that we might resist should the time come that we are no longer free men and women. I am sure some of you may scoff at the idea, just as the Jews scoffed at the idea of being rallied into death camps by their own government. While something so extreme might not occur in the near future, I would like to remind you that around the same time, the United States government herded Japanese-Americans into concentration camps and essentially stripped them of their rights. We are not hunters, we are not sport shooters, and we are not the cold-blooded murderers that many in the media and government paint us to be. We ARE American citizens. We ARE free men and women. We ARE NOT subjects, and we would like to peacefully keep it that way.
