Trying to throw The Fuzzy Troll off by taking his position?
Never gets old
I was wondering when he was gonna get called on that one. Can't believe it lasted a day.
tee-shirts for the bubba market
less gun fetishists just representin.
Keep jousting windmills , you're on a whole other realm of reality.
Scott and I both called him out on the 1st page.
take your slappig like a little , DMC
With COL lower in the south and more people below taxable level income it would make sense. I doubt every person in the south es about govt. craddle to grave support. JMO however
lol you remind me of those dudes in ACIII that chase you after you punch the out of them.
you punch the out of nobody, less
You're so disconnected from reality you cannot even find it with a GPS and a compass.
Let's be honest, even if they did outlaw assault rifles, middle class suburban or rural white families will need to be about as worried about enforcement as they are about the enforcement of marijuana possession laws on them.
Assault rifles are heavily regulated now, and banned in some states already. I think you mean assault weapons.
I mean pretty much any weapon that conservatives are paranoid about the government coming to take.
The point of the thread is to make fun of how the ignorant can't resist saying "assault rifle" instead of "assault weapon".
I don't think conservatives are paranoid about anyone taking them. They are seeing this as an opportunity to make some serious dough. If they were worried about losing them they wouldn't be buying them in droves. I saw a dude last week buy 15 AR-15s in a gun store in one purchase. He was likely going to sell them for more due to the grab that's going on.
Gun shops love these things, chaching. There will be 20% more guns in circulation after this settles than there currently are, just as happened with the Brady bill and the bulk purchases of powder and reloading supplies, extended mags and such.
Reno -- A customer inside Mark Hessler's crowded gun shop in Reno pointed to the few remaining AR-15 rifles on a display wall and asked Hessler if he'd sent President Obama a thank-you card for hinting at a ban on assault weapons.
Hessler almost had to shout over the din of bustling salesmen, credit cards snapping on glass countertops and cash registers that spat out receipts.
"Obama is the best gun salesman since Bill Clinton," Hessler said, drawing laughs from his audience. "Every time a liberal opens his mouth and says something stupid about guns, I sell a gazillion of them."
There is at least an apprehension that those weapons will no longer be available to purchase at some point. Conservatives are spending serious dough because of that.
Isn't that what DMC said? Can't you read between the lines?
When you can no longer buy them in a store... When Supply is limited... What happens to the price that someone is willing to pay...
At least the dumb ones are. Generic AR-15's that sold for $800 a couple of weeks ago are being offered at twice that now on resales.
This is not gonna pass and the prices will come back down. There is too much on Obama's plate and congress's plate to prioritize new gun control legislation which will alienate at least half the population.
I'm definitely buying an accurized AR-10 when the prices come back down.

Gun control is one of those issues where the feelings/emotions are much stronger on one side than the other. You can be for gun control intellectually and might even go to the trouble to defend your position on an internet political forum but trust me...you don't feel as strongly about it as gun owners who feel their rights are being threatened. If Obama is stupid enough to try to push this through the dems will get slaughtered in two years at the polls when they aren't riding big O's voter turnout coattails.
got my ar15 just in time... two weeks before the school shooting... $802
No, you're wrong. No one wants 15 ARs they cannot sell. There's apprehension they will become more expensive to purchase, not through legislation but through rumor. No one would touch them for their price if they would get stuck with them. It's the hoopla surrounding them that makes them a hot item. Those who want just one will pay much more because they fear a lock out. Those buying them in droves know better.
And lol if you think only conservatives own or like guns. I know several Dems who own ARs.
I'll take your word for it, I didn't read most of it. I had a thought and this looked like the most relevant thread for it.
Oh I think plenty of people are paranoid about having their guns taken, but I agree this stuff is great for gun sales. I think for a good number of people, they're purchasing more guns as part of some fantasy where black vans show up at their compound and they get to heroically fight them off in an orgy of gunfire. For others, yeah, they get that they probably won't have their guns taken but they may have a harder time getting new ones.I don't think conservatives are paranoid about anyone taking them.
