Sorry for the necropost, but to be honest, at least to me, this is still an interesting topic. My first gun (bought within 4 hours of receiving my FID) was a Savage MKII .22LR just for that reason. I like a lot of older military-style rifles, especially K98s, Lugers (when I'm 21), SKSes, etc. I have a CZ24, but haven't been able to afford a range membership to use it, since I want a 300yd range.

Hell, I'll give you $3 to be a premium member. I'd have done it myself if I wasn't lazy. Hell, maybe I'll pay for your premium membership, and you can give me one of the guns you want to sell XD. Jk, but yeah, stuff goes fast on here, I hardly have money, but I ALWAYS look, and when I see something I know another FID holder would want, I send a link.

We're dealing with the people of the '60s coming into power. It annoys the hell out of me since my family has been here since 1638. We had 200 members fight in the revolution, one of my ancestors was in the boat with Washington as he crossed the Deleware, and what do I have to show for their efforts? It annoys me that people are trying to change the country my ancestors helped found.

I got my FID on May 20th, and had my first rifle (Savage MKII) within 4 hours. Got a CZ24 with a matching bayonet in July.

I don't think that's right. I'm pretty sure the M14 has far better range than the M16.

If I'm not mistaken, old K98s are turning up in Iraq and Afghanistan because of their effectiveness at defeating modern body armor. Besides, even though hunters wouldn't have the logistical, or force multiplier support, they have intimate knowledge of the terrain and concealment. They'd likely be able to act like the werewolves of Germany did in WWII. Also, if I'm not mistaken, hunters and native Aleutians helped to slow the spread of the Japanese into Alaska. A lot of the scouts and such were armed with their own weapons. America's greatest enemies are within, but on any conventional war, we would be able to win. Barring a full-out nuclear strike on the US, we have tons of gun owners who probably have more range and firearm experience than our military. Even assuming their weapons are too dated for modern warfare (which, though a Mosin is slower to fire and reload, the advantages in range and stopping power may counter a high ROF in the right circumstances) we could probably hastily issue old M16s, or even M14s to your average hunter and see great results against an invading force. Most likely, if America was seriously threatened by invasion, militia groups would work in conjunction with the National Guard and standard Army units. I think that in this event, we'd be fine, the only fear is that of nuclear war, otherwise we are pretty much invincible. Not to mention a tank can be choked out with a molotov, which was a tactic employed by the Russians against the Germans due to a lack of dedicated anti-tank weapons. If we preserve our 2A rights, we're nearly invincible. As for North Korea, they're pretty much a joke. Their military looks impressive on paper, but even South Korea has a far stronger force capable of crushing them. All of the North Korean hardware is out of date, and they're decades behind in getting the technology for a ICBM, and even if they did, with their crappy economy, I doubt they'd be able to build up the type of arsenal that would be of any threat to us, we'd probably get hit in one city, but then we'd just march in there and obliterate them. They're a pretty seriously overblown threat.

Lol pretty accurate description of me. Too bad being 19, and only having two minimum wage jobs makes it hard to get the spare cash to purchase, or even practice with firearms.

I think Lunker or somebody was selling one of these recently.

I keep my stuff separated, but my ammo is only a few feet from my rifle. I don't really have a "self defense gun" since I only have a .22lr, and a 8mm Mauser, but I figure since the ammo is close enough, I can stripper load it pretty fast.

Haha, Cemetery Bob, did you read the post I made a few weeks ago regarding Fast and Furious? I predicted something like this was going to happen, I really think that the whole purpose behind the operation was to give fuel for the Brady campaign's constitution burning fire.

Yeah, the one out here wasn't in the best of shape either. I like the owner, but Bob's little at least has a better selection, though I've never thought to ask HIM about Mosins. I don't really care, I just got a nice Czech Mauser courtesy of J0n, so I think that will tide me over for a while. Yeah, I couldn't make it to Valley Forge, but at gun shows, you can't buy from private vendors, correct?

We may not be the largest group, but seeing as how voter turn out is really low, if we get politically organized, make ourselves known, etc. etc. we can still have an impact. a fully mobilized voting block of 15-20% can easily outweigh the weight of the average people who don't support us, or w/e. That might be a way to do this.

I think claiming 2A as a civil right, and such, would be an interesting way to do it. Either it will work, or it'll at least get people to shut up about stuff like how the government owes them ice cream and handies because it's a civil right. I mean, my personal political beliefs are that if it's in the constitution, it's your right. Of course, unlike a lot of people on both sides, I don't pick and choose. I'm pro 2A, but I'm against abortion, but both probably are protected (the latter being under the 9th amendment I believe)

Problem is, I'm in the market for a semiauto. I'm picking up a Czech Mauser this weekend. And I haven't seen a $99 mosin anywhere, the Cheapest I've seen is $165

They probably did it just to show that they can. We're pussies these days.

Do you really believe that is how things work in this state? They'd still try, I can guarantee that.

He probably got caught on that. I know my friend is under the belief you HAVE to claim if you are asked, I mean, I thought that too. I guess most people don't realize how easily their rights are infringed upon by not stating a simple "I do not have to answer" or something.

Sorry to double post, but Matt, if you know of any for $159, please let me know. Or are you saying that they aren't that cheap anymore, most of the time I see them in the $400 ballpark.

Just when I get my FID, and am in the market for one lol.

Hah, reading some of these laws make me think of the laws that are like, "In Tennessee it is illegal to hunt, kill, or molest a sea monster" We're not even that old of a country, and our very legislative system is inefficient, it's amazing how fast they can act to strip rights.

The strategy then would be to get out to the moderate voters not in the 2A community, and push the message that these folks are anti-union. It would just so happen to coincide with our interests. But glad you posted this. Odds are, none of these folks would have gotten my vote anyway, but it's still good information to have. Do you know anything about where we SHOULD cast our votes though, at least in regards to 2A?

Sorry for the double post. I doubt that they will jump or do anything. I think most organizations are too afraid to challenge NJ's AWB.

I imagine he did the lawful thing, and declare that he had a firearm in the trunk. Funny too because he was transporting it in the legal manner, which to me indicates he probably wasn't planning on misusing the firearm. After all, when committing a crime, one would want to get in, and get it over with ASAP. Which means not following proper protocol such as unloading it, keeping stuff separate, putting it in the trunk, and having it bagged up (or in a case, whatever). Speaking of which, I'm buying a Mauser, and I have a K98 bayonet, does that make my bolt action rifle an assault arm? XD (Just kidding, but you never know in this state XD)

Few towns near me, that is Washington Twp, and Voorhees, but none in my district per se. Just for my own edification, was the union reform bill the thing to weaken the teachers unions and stuff? And how does any of this affect our 2A? I might just be confused. haha.

You should join up with the politcally active 2A groups, that's the best thing to do to preserve your rights, and make it so that this type of crap doesn't continue to happen in the future. And part of this is designed so you get fed up and either don't bother to apply, or just give up on it.
