Banning "Assault Weapons" will make it easier for criminals to get them.

Even ammunition is made very regularly by hobby handloaders in basements and sheds all over the country, and nobody is seriously talking about ammunition bans.

Nobody is seriously talking about gun bans, either. Regulation does not equal banning and confiscation, despite what the NRA would like people to think.

That said, the durability of guns is a valid point. One of the biggest problems with making any kind of gun control effective is the vast quantity of firearms already in circulation.

It is nice to see that you are in favor of legalization of drugs.

Let me guess... A whopping $200 buy back on a $1500 fire arm.... Oh yeah, that will work real well... Not going to happen... Most of us will just settle to be criminals... Plan on spending a lot of money building penetentiaries...

They are but they can all kiss my ass on that too. I own a Dillon 550B and a RCBS Rockchucker. I have over 100,000 primers sitting safe and here that I bought the last few months (before any of this crap started). I have over 20,000 rounds of 9mm 124 gr FMJ just waited to get loaded up. 2,000 rounds 180 .40 S&W FMJ. I already had 3,000 230 gr FMJ .45 ACP.....just ordered another 8,000 of 200 gr LSWC to run in my 1911s. I have 4,000 148 gr LHBWC .38s.....and 8 pound kegs of various powders.....but wait that's not all. It's all I'm saying on a public forum.


I won't be running out anytime soon.

The people who cannot grasp the concept of going to Wally World and buying a brick of .22s (500) that used to cost $8.88 back when I bought all of mine....are CLUELESS.

"Why would anyone need that much ammo"?

I won't even tell you about my FOUR crates of Lake City M855 SS109 with two tins inside 820 each.....( 1,640 rounds total per crate).

How about my 7.62x39 and 5.45x39mm?

Or my FN 5.7x28mm?

7.62X51mm (.308)?

.303 British?

.30-06?


I'm tired of typing and the rest in MYOB anyway.

I haven't even started yet. And NO...I didn't just buy this stuff. I've been shooting for decades.



Get real gun grabbers.
