They have no inkling the damage a competent rifleman with an old bolt-action Enfield, Moisin-Nagant or Springfield can do, one shot at a time.
I have put away enough money that on November 9th I am either buying more ammo or more weapons and more ammo. My wife said enough is enough with the gun buying and the accidents on the lake. Hate to tell her this, but she needs to take her head out of the sand.
I really wish I had bought a case of M-Gs in cosmoline when they were $50 apiece. That and a few thousand rounds, and you have provided basic equipment for a fireteam for $500-$600.
How about what a competent hunter wielding a modern bolt action rifle can do? The kind that shoots flat to 400 yards or more using state of the art optics.
IMO it was hunters that Adm. Yamamoto meant when he said `there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass’.
It is hunting rifles that the U.N. small arms commission wants to rename “medium range sniper weapons” & have them banned.
Won’t be a new civil war in my view but rather a low intensity insurgency.

Yes they do! This is why Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar called for a ban on the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles. They got their ban in 1968.
Actually they wanted the ban to protect local high dollar industries, Remington, Winchester, Savage from cheap $10.00 imported rifles.
