“ The assault weapons ban was retarded, it banned pistol grips and bayonets, like banning the fuzzy dice in your Grand Torino..”
**************
AKA, the ugly gun ban...
By 2008, there were 308 million, an increase of 70 million in 14 years.
By 2016, there were 405 million, an increase of 97 million in 8 years.
As of the end of March, 2021, there are 470 million, an increase of 65 million in 4.25 years.
The number of firearms in the private stock has nearly doubled since 1994. It will certainly have doubled by the end of this year.
We added two million firearms to the private stock just last month.
In 2020, we added about 21 million for the year.
“The problem is: Straight partisan victories (as in gun-grabbing) will be nearly impossible in the Senate as long as the filibuster is in force for non-taxing-and-spending legislation - like new gun laws.”
That’s why the Democrats were so happy that 500,000 Republicans in Georgia followed Lin Wood (rather than Trump) and gave them the Senate...and at this point, all they need to do is flip Joe Manchin to support ending the filibuster, and they’ll have the numbers needed to start pulling in the guns.
“Millions of new gun owners are not going to comply and they know it.”
That will depend on just how hard the federal government decides to force compliance. If they don’t care (about compliance), then you’ll be right, but if they do care...
The IRS has outstanding levels of compliance, once they know you’ve received money. I would expect the same for gun control, with this bunch.
Irrelevant bravado.
The only thing which really matters is the number of people actually willing to fight, and the Left has lots more people willing to engage in street battles than we do.
I think I remember Snoop and Dre rapping about that in high school...
I shoot 22s to stay sharp on the draw, target/sight acquisition and trigger finger coordination and practice mag changes... Got to stay sharp for when I go back to pistol and three gun matches.
“They won’t be pulling in shit.”
Once they pass the laws, that will be up to them. I figure that they’ll be able to ‘achieve compliance’, peacefully, with all but 1000 or so gun owners in the US (the ones who can hold out, on their own land, with virtually no connection to the outside world). Have a look at my home page if you want to know how they’ll make people comply, should they choose to.
For the vast majority of gun owners, it won’t be up to them to comply or not, it will be up to the government.
Pure bufoonary
We are nowhere near that.
I was able to acquire a couple boxes of 5.56 for under a buck a round and I was pleased.
Even those twisted fools in Congress know you don’t ban the #1 most popular sporting rifle. Not if you want to keep your house from burning to the ground with you in it. 😆
That’s what I am going to do. I have plenty of 22. After the unfortunate Sandy hook shooting my boss and I closed the shop and we split up and covered a large area and bought up all the 22 ammo we could find. After the hoarding and ammo shortage then we continued to buy. I recently bought a gun that requires 223 and am on the search for that. I looked at cheaper than dirt but I maybe reading the site wrong but the prices look way above what it is at the local stores when available. 20 rounds in store is 10 bucks or so but on cheaper than dirt it’s 30 bucks.
Back in 2013 or so when OMuslim was thinking about trying to ban weapons they war gamed confiscation. The model concluded that within 2 weeks all the federal agents west of the Mississippi would be dead and 2 weeks after that all the federal agents east of the Mississippi would be dead. So that was the end of that. Things have not changed.
I also find Cheaper than Dirt to be high on ammo and they are selling a lot of BLANKS... who is buying blanks?
Why would anyone want blanks. Maybe they are being bought for shows and movies.
Or is there a way people that reload can convert it cheaply to a live round.
