even if something were to happen, it would take 6-8 months before anything was introduced." BULLSHIITE.
The anti-gun demonRATS have loads of anti-gun bills waiting in the wings - ready to go on DAY ONE. President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans' Second Amendment rights as they are.
More BULLSHIITE.

Nightline just opened with a story on the rise in gun sales, with lots of interviews of people who are concerned about Obama, pointing to his record and not his words on the subject.
I turned to DH and said, “Do you think they would have run this story BEFORE the election?”

From the article: “President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans’ Second Amendment rights as they are.”
Um, Obama doesn't get to decide what the Second Amendment says. We can all read it for ourselves.
Oh, the liberals still want our guns. Have no doubt of that! But they learned they have to be more surreptitious. The new, covert liberal war against guns involves prohibitive taxes on ammunition, tedious and/or expensive licensing processes, bans on certain types of "assault" weapons, lawsuits against manufacturers, etc. Liberal support for the Second Amendment means you can still have a gun if you're willing to pay an exorbitant price for an underpowered weapon and undergo the necessary gun safety and licensing requirements.

President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans' Second Amendment rights as they are.This isn't quite what he said. I believe he's on record supporting a new AWB, closure of the gunshow loophole and implementation of a host of reasonable restrictions, all of which he believes can be done while not running afoul of the 2A.

Man, that's awfully white of him. It's also a bunch of crap.
The new expanded Assault Weapon Ban is on the way. I live in CA, and I know of what I speak. I am forbidden to buy certain firearms, outside of the CA Assault Weapons Ban List, because the Politicians have willed it.
Your Second Amendment Rights will be eroded slowly but surely. When Obama gets his picks on the Supreme Court, the old “Stare Decisis” Argument won't apply to the D.C. Gun Ban Case. You can bet on it Amigos.

I have been calling around and looking online for a Springfield M1A Scout-Squad .308 and a SOCOM16. Nobody has any. I knew I shouldn't of waited this long.
Oh well, I still have my trusty Bushmaster AR. I want something else, though. Either a .308 or an AK. What do you guys suggest?

Both? I bought a new DPMS Panther bull 24” and a Romanian AK47 just last week. They are both awesome. Change.gov already said that they plan on bringing back the AWB. At least Obama should be a one termer then. Idiots.
To: randomhero97
in .308? Savage makes a scout rifle in 308. Its shoots real nice too. Light weight and a forward mounted scope for easy target acquisition. My shot groups with hornady tap are 1.45 to 1.25 at 100 yards out of the box. Not too shabby. they are aroud 600 dollars without a scope.

Thanks guys. I will definitely check into the Savage .308. It seems to be a much better bargain than the Springfield even though I'm partial to SA. Bolt action are more reliable as well.
I'll get the Savage and a WASR10 from henderson defense. Along with my SA .40 and my Bushy AR I can call it a day. More money for mags and ammo. : )

I think I read the background check in Colorado normally takes about 5 minutes. It was taking about 20-30 minutes on the gun purchases I made a few weeks ago. I tried to buy a .22 rifle at Walmart the day after the election, and they said the wait was 2.5 hours. I phoned the next day to see how long it was taking, and the clerk said he had a background check still going at 110 minutes. Maybe I’ll have them start the check and go catch a movie or something.

President-elect Barack Obama has said he plans on keeping Americans' Second Amendment rights as they are. He's on the record as saying that he believes in "restricting" rights....all except abortion that is.
