Ammo.
Lots of ammo.
And magazines.
The C Products steel body mags with CS springs and a new-style anti-tilt follower for $13. Much better that the ones that we had in the service.
Buy 'em now. Get 10 to use and 10 to sell.
correct me if I am wrong. can the AR15 be converted to full auto?
I think a comparison between today and Germany circa 1933 is apt. Not an exaggeration at all. If Obama doesn't try to realize the 60's radicals stupid revolution it will only be for a lack of opportunity.
"It is what one would call an assault gun."
No, that is what the press and the anti-gunners would call it. It doesn't fit the NRA or military defintion of an assault rifle or weapon.
If the unthinkable horror happens, then be VERY prepared.
God bless Sarah Palin - an NRA member who knows what she’s doing. God bless America which still produces such women. God bless all who protect this country and its liberty.
I have an early version... a 1971 model AR15, passed to me from my Father. I love the weapon... it is a pleasure to use. I have updated it and made it more reliable. No need to hate the weapon... use it... shoot it... enjoy it... I have been doing so for several decades.
If there is war coming... so be it... I don’t want it... but I will be a Patriot and keep GOD in my heart and do my duty for my Nation and our Founders. I pray that day never comes... but if it does... my Boy Scout training will kick in... as I live “Be Prepared”.

What American would relish taking up arms against his own countrymen?
On the other hand, the sober assessment of the situation before us demands being prepared to defend yourself and your family should the situation get out of hand.
We are living in times of extreme dishonesty, deceit and provocation. We see daily threats to our basic liberty right in front of our faces.
Prudent men prepare but pray they do not have to use deadly force. You sound like such a prudent man.
Our American founders knew we later generations could be faced with these threats and made sure we had the Second Amendment should ever-present, lurking tyrants rise before us to steal our liberty.
I bought an AR-15 from a gun shop in 1985.
Man, what a great weapon. I spent many hours shooting up cinder blocks and the like.
And accurate — a friend of mine had never touched a rifle in life was able to pick off a beer can at almost 200 yards after a few practice shots.
Alas, the ammo was so expensive and the AR-15 so much more than I needed I ended up selling it to a friend a few months later.
Nice rifle, though.
But with that said, I think the chance of your worst nightmare occurring are small. Even if Obama wins and there is a Democrat super majority in congress, they will still be modestly constrained by public opinion. This is literally why we have the second amendment... because if we have 91 million homes with rifles in them, we'll probably never have to actually use them.
It won't save us from the kind of lawful damage that can be done like the loss of a rational supreme court for a generation or two, or confiscatory tax rates. But it will keep him from doing anything super-constitutional. Because he knows, and if he doesn't' he will be advised, that if someone really wants to kill him, and is willing to die to do it, they probably can.
At the end of the day that threat of violence is a constraint on the behavior of our politicians. Were it not for that, we'd have have a totalitarian system put in place already. But the fear of some crazy person's bullet keeps them from getting too out of line.
I agree with you that this is as close as we've ever been to the onset of totalitarian tyranny, but even with THESE Democrats in charge I still think the odds of it going that way are thankfully small.
Of course that's easy to say with 3,000 rounds in the bottom of my safe.
And just to be perfectly clear for those Democrat operatives that may be trolling, I'm not advocating violence at all, just describing the effect of knowledge on the behavior of our elected officials. I don't propose it as a solution to political problems, I only describe it's effect so others will know that violence is unlikely to be necessary, whatever the circumstances.
to the editors: is there some reason that my comments are not being posted? I don’t believe that my comments were profane, or rasist, and I certainly didn’t attack anyone. Just wondering why my opinions haven’t been posted for several days now. Am I banned or something?

I like my AR 15. I need to actually sight the thing in, though. That’s tomorrow’s fun.
Does anyone know the current number of small arms in private ownership in America? The number they used to say was something like 250 million. I think 1 billion would be a nice round number. Go out and buy more guns.
We went to the gun shop in our nearest city yesterday.
My husband and I signed up for conceal and carry classes. They are at 3 pm this afternoon.
The salesman is recommending a revolver since I want something that will not need a lot practiced training. I wouldn’t want to be flustered if I needed to use it in an emergency.
I have absolutely no experience with firearms.
