Anti-gunners/anti-AW proponents are just not running on all cylinders. I had a conversation with a young-20's female co-worker the other day. Takeaway points:

-Ar15 is overkill (How? It's more terminally effective? Would you like to pick the tool LEAST likely to protect you?Wtf?)
-Firearms make me nervous because I don't know how to use them. Then learn to use them before talking about how they work, and especially before you might need to use one.
-I have a baby so I would like a firearm in my house because it would make me feel safer. It's a tool, not a talisman.
-Pistols are easier to use than rifles. I promise you, they are not.


Responses in red. People like her vote. THAT is the problem. They don't have a damn clue yet they are legally able to make decisions that affect others. In my line of work, that's called "outside of your scope of practice".

Unfortunately that's what the anti-gun politicians are counting on.

You mean they actually think there are more stupid people driven by emotion than intelligent people bent on using logical thought process? MADNESS!

Hi everyone,
Since I don't allow political posts in my forum, please don't post any political post here in this thread. I really don't want to close this thread. You guys can keep it on topic by discussing :~ discussion about what guns you have or trying to get, your gun pics, how to clean them, rating/reviews on guns etc. Please refrain from posting any political post(s) related to guns. Just a friendly warning. I rather not close a 67 page thread over some political posts.

Thank you! :tup:

Sorry AK. We'll keep our political spin out of it when we talk about the laws.

Is it okay to discuss the current press related to this topic? As we do with car reviews and vehicular press? I ask in regards to how a newspaper published the names and addresses of gun owners in three counties in New York in an article by Dwight Worley?


Also, if anybody is still interested in my burlwood crimson trace lasertrips for 1911. They are still for sale :)

Heres my first AR build.
I got super lucky and my gfs parents got me a spikes zombie lower a few months back for a xmas present before **** literally tripled in price. My Buffer and lower kits are on the way as well as a lucid hd7 scope.

Very nice!

Has anyone attempted to go out and get any Ammo:confused:

I have and it is not pretty:shakes head:

Every WalMart shelf is empty basically, although I've gotten lucky and scooped a couple 100 rds of 40s&w and 100rds of 380acp and less than 200 rds of 223

The 9mm ammo has been thus far the thorn in my side, primarily because it is my target model and the one I use to teach with at the range.

I paid $55 for 100rds of FMJ where I typically pay $30 :eek:

I been fortunate to find inexpensive ammo. The only thing that truly hit me over the head was 6.8 110 gr otm ammo, $180 for 200 rounds. I previously had bought 1000 rounds of OTM 7.62x39 for $243. AKM's are definitely more cost effective than AR's. Pistol ammo hasnt been affected here as much in Tx. Pistol sales have increased but not to the point of lunacy as with military style rifles.

I went looking for 22lr after I picked up my new rifle. I checked 3 different walmarts, all they had left were maximags. No thanks. I went to Gander mountain and scored some minimags and winchester super-x.

Does anybody have any experience with the FN F2000? I've held one before but never had the chance to fire it. I'm thinking I may buy one when I get back home to WA next year. Being prior military, I'm sorta burnt out on AR-15/M4 rifles and just looking for something different.

Better hurry if these new ban go into effect.. WA gun prices are severely skyrocketing in the anticipation of the new ban being proposed by a certain CA senator...
