Do the people in our government really think that people are digging deep and spending that much cash right after the Christmas season on something they are just meekly going to hand over?
If so, they are too stupid to run a country.
I'm certain there are a lot of people buying them just so they can have one too, but I'm pretty sure most of it is for above stated purposes. These are the same bastards that made a full time job out of keeping ammo cleared off the shelves so they could sell it for triple at the next gun show. I've seen them in there, whole tables of nothing but walmart ammo. Makes me want to kick them in the nuts, they are ruining the sport. I can't buy ammo now, I'm almost out. I also had enough saved to finally get me a real HK91 and I was shopping for a good enough example... that was in November. Now, because of this hysteria, I need another 3 grand if I really want one... It's not gonna happen.
I hope these SOB's get stuck with every one of them and have to eat it when they get hungry.
