>>Remember the good ol’ days<<

I was a college freshman when I ordered an Argentinian Luger through The local newspaper for the outrageous price of $40. It arrived the next week in a brown paper bag. I still think I paid too much.
Should have bought the new $120 Browning Hipower made in Belgium.

They can try but they can’t succeed with this perfidious treason.

>>Like most liberals Brandon doesn’t know the difference between semiautomatic and full automatic<<

Isn’t it just a flick of the switch?
Forgive Brandon, he never served.

It’s not what the politicians and talking heads actually think that bothers me, it’s what they think they can sell to their mind-numbed base.

And it’s not just legislation. The BATFE is on an absolute tear going after the “ghost gun” market, all without any changed legislation at all.

These people want power, and won’t willingly stop until only the government has guns.

*** the crowd loudly cheered at the suggestion of banning all “semi-automatic” rifles.***

Between 1962 and 1984 the cry from the anti-gun radicals was “We ONLY want to register and ban HANDGUNS! Rifles will not be affected!”

When they failed to ban handguns, when the 1984 McDonald’s shootings in San Ysidro CA, took place, they immediately jumped on the “Ban semi-auto rifles” bandwagon.
Rest assured that if they can get any ban on a rifle they will be back for their original target, HANDGUNS.

The left side of the family was incredulous when I gently explained that neither the semiautomatic AR nor the AK shoot particularly powerful rounds and that, in fact, the AR was not legal for deer hunting in many states.

They were certain such weapons could easily shoot straight through city buildings and kill people on the other side. I explained it might be possible given the right circumstances but it wasn’t something one could rely on.

We can’t afford to NOT be a little paranoid.

Back in 1989 Neal Knox of Gun Week Magazine read and found the first California AW ban act also banned the lever action rifles.
California caught so much hell over it that the lever action part was removed and the act shelved. (I said to friends...”Get ready! Something bad is going to happen!”)

Then the state released seven time loser Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy an AK47/s in violation of Federal laws, and allowed him to buy a handgun, passing the waiting period.

He then went and shot up the Stockton school yard, killing several kids, then killed himself.

The shelved act was pulled out and passed before opposition could be mounted against it.

That dirty Diaper doesn’t even know what day it is. let alone a semi-auto.
Social redeeming value? Let one of their stupid woke POSs break into this house, and they’ll get to witness the “social redeeming value” first hand...guaranteed.

Are you kidding? Mass killings have skyrocketed since the far left perverts took over and a demented old screwball is shacked up in the White House. Right now, AMERICANS NEED A SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLE MORE THAN EVER. They need to be able to protect their families and their neighbors. The cops and the military sure as hell aren’t going to do it.

The best reason for having a semi-automatic rifle is the simple fact that full auto is to expensive!

especially at todays prices.
