Democrats are about the pass the most draconian gun control legislation since 1968 GCA. Modern rifles are going to be highly restricted, if not abolished.
Elections have consequences; The powerless have no rights; and telling a judge "I shall not comply" is not going to keep you out of prison.
So hide that AR and get a lever action short rifle for defense.
Yep. A lever-action w/ five round tube will be among the last to be grabbed.
Then, only bolt-action magless will be allowed for normal citizens, registered (ammo, too), used for licensed hunting and sanctioned shooting events only, kept at your local cop shop and signed out for use.
Just like in glorious, “best country in the world” Denmark. They’ve got high alcoholism, depression and bestiality (legal there if animal isn’t hurt) rates, btw.
The .45 will drop like a rock at rifle ranges making too much elevation to compensate for. It is best to have a high velocity pistol cartridge like a magnum or .357 Sig.
The 10mm is the best IMHO.
I've been able to find 16ga during this ammo crunch. 28ga is also available.
Over the past 3 months I have been trying to find 20ga buck shot and slug, but no luck.
Thinking about complimenting my Dan Wesson .357 with a lever action.
If one person goes to jail for exercising their G-d given Constitutional Rights, I hope for somerhing more from America than lining up for the cattle cars.
It’s called the IRS. They will garnish your butt into debtors prison.
I have an old Marlin tube fed lever action Marlin.
Still dependable...
Yes, hits him with his 30th shot without reloading.
They stole an election to get power and you still talk about rules like it means something.
I obtained 20ga slugs a few years ago. I do want some upshot in both 20ga and 16ga but have beenu Unable to find
Buckshot
I would agree to som point, but you don't always get to pick time or place. That being said, a pistol at home should be used to fight your way to better weapon. I always found Clint was able to cut through the BS best: Clint Smith, Terminal Ballistics
The hills of Tennessee are loaded with Hathcocks, Hickoks, and Yorks!😎
Don’t bet on your lever action rifles being safe from confiscation.
According to Neal Knox back in 1989, when California proposed it’s first Assault Rifle Ban then INCLUDED a ban on some pistol caliber lever action rifles.
Gun owners raised so much h-ll about it the lever action ban was removed and the bill shelved.
Then the state released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy a handgun and an AK-47s in Oregon, passing all the “Waiting periods” and other hassles.
He then shot up the Stockton School yard killing several kids, then himself.
BOOM! The AW ban was pulled out and passed so fast there was no time to mount opposition to it. But it did not ban lever action rifles. YET.
Sheriff Jim sounds like a chicken chit. 😉
This is likely old news to many readers but for those less familiar with lever guns, they are one of the few firearms that enable you to "top off" your ammunition as you deplete it. (Shoot one - reload one, shoot two - reload two)
You can't top off revolvers and firearms that are only magazine fed. (Some top loaders such as an M1 or M14 can be loaded by single rounds or with stripper clips but it requires the bolt to be locked so it's slower and less convenient).
The ability to "top off" may seem unimportant compared to other firearm criteria but depending on your defensive scenarios, it might be a best choice. I can think of several situations such as putting rounds down a driveway until help arrives but also in a more urban setting where you're defending the top of the stairs and single rounds down the staircase may be enough to keep attackers from rushing your position until help arrives or they decide to find more vulnerable targets.
Tube fed firearms such as shotguns and side gate lever actions let you load single rounds at a time.
Side gate is more difficult to load a full tube and more difficult to empty since you have to lever each round out.
Rod fed is easier to load and unload a full tube the first time but doesn't allow "topping off" and might be the last weapon type you'd choose to reload in the middle of a gunfight.
Some of the newer Henry rifles have both full rod feed as well as side gate feed to offer the best of both scenarios.
If this is enacted, even a lever action rifle will require a background check, phycological exam, federal license with passing a training class, federal registration, and an $800 insurance policy. Enjoy your train ride.
Lol
I knew someone would do that....lol
Didn’t Mississippi in that john Wayne movie....Jimmy caan
Use a short gun
That last is what it is loaded with, 00 buck. Hang on a laser and a blinding flashlight and you're ready to go.
