My Dad’s cousin (RIP) lived in a now socialist country. When the German’s rolled into a town they went to the City Hall first. 1) Who owned guns and 2) Who had men above 15 years old.
My Dad’s cousin never forgot. He did however own one gun in his later years - an old rusty shotgun as the neighbors knew he liked to hunt. ;)
didnt this rag go bankrupt?
I don't “need” an SKS, at least not right now, and if it weren't for one thing would not have spent too much of my hard earned money money to buy one. I figure in about two years it and 1000 rounds of ammo should be worth well over twice what I paid for it.
I wonder what will happen if and when Obama and the communists start outlawing or restricting guns and ammunition. Is America ready for violent rebellion? Thats the real question and thats the question that really matters. Anything else is just whining about the government and the unfair laws. Then standing in line to give up our guns when the so called laws are eventually going to demand it.
A dealer in Helena let me go thru a case of SKS paratroopers for $59 a piece. I took 6 in 1989, all in cosmoline with wood furniture and bayonets.
One of the better investments I’ve ever made.
My concealed carry permit arrived in the mail today. They mixed up the dates of my husbands and my birthdays. He has mine and I have his. I wonder how long it will take them to get that straightened out?

The outlook is rocky for The Rocky
bingo
the fall of the stock market and the large amount of purchases of firearms directly related to the election of barack hussein obama.
i wish you many tanks, lots of shells too
It also signals American life is going to be "every man for himself."
There is no government leadership in this country. The financial mess confirms we now live under "government by panic." Nobody in government has a clue as to how to "fix" anything.
Responsible people no longer trust the electorate when they happily elect an incompetent communist with no experience. Nobody trusts the banks. Nobody trusts the major corporations.
My fellow Americans, you are on your own.
Buy good quality firearms and ammunition and practice with them. We are all going to need them.
That’s not how they see things.
They are control freaks.
They see no problem with an authoritarian mindset, provided of course those energies are directed towards ideologies they approve - say, enforcement against anyone smoking in a bar, say. Where they jump the shark, there’s no comprehension of what unintended consequences of such a world view entails.
This is how they can recite nonsense verbatim - “They should just ban guns” or “Only the police should be armed”.
I have never bought a gun in my life, though I have shot alot many years ago in my youth. In the past 3 months, I have purchased 8 guns.
Obama is stimulating the economy; make no mistake about that.
Cold Steel:
Is America ready for violent rebellion, you ask? A very good question!
Personally I don’t think so, at least not the majority. Maybe a third will take to the streets after the (videotaped, please) incident that sets off the explosion. All the chess pieces are coming into place for something wicked.
But then again, only a third supported the Revolution. One third were Tories and the final third didn’t care.
Maybe the sound of gunshots will wake them up.
LOL! I have a P85 Ruger ex-cop gun. I was looking to buy my first pistol years ago. A friend of a relative had been in Army Intel and said he knew a guy who could get me a great deal. Well he got me the P85, which is like the P89 or the model just before it.
I had given him $300 and that is what I got. Probably could have gotten it for about $240. I like it anyway. Rugers are like pickup trucks. They are not pretty but they always work. The new Ruger 9mm for carrying looks good too.
Springfields are made in Croatia which is near S Germany, Austria, Switz and Czech and all those folks know how to make good guns. It was originally imported 6 years ago (?) under Crotian company name but Springfield did a deal and put their name on it. Looks pretty good.
No kidding. I recently saw an early example of the SKS-D (modded to take AK magazines) just like one I own - one of the Navy Arms imports with military-style stock, 20" barrel and spike bayonet - sell for $900.00.
NINE HUNDRED BUCKS for an SKS. Admittedly, that's a rather scarce variant of the Simonov. When I bought one in the late '80s, it was a rarity *then*, to the tune of $200 when every other SKS was selling for $80 or so. Nice to see that at least one of my investments has flourished to the tune of 300+ percent. :-/
Wish I'd bought the fancy-schmancy K-Sports parkerized SKS with the olive drab plastic stock for $300 when I saw it a few years ago in a gunshop's used gun rack. It'd probably be worth a bundle now, too.
