Keeping everything and making plans for "long term" storage

I am going to sell my S&W M&P15 and use the funds to buy a Ruger left handed Scout in .308, because by the time they outlaw bolts I should be long gone.

I highly doubt any bill will pass without grandfathering, and even if it does, they'll have to do a buyback.

Definitely keep everything. It would be interesting to see if the govt tried a grandfather clause but also a gun buy back program. Here's the kicker: they would buy the guns back with tax payer dollars so technically our hard earned tax dollars would be used against us. Hard to say if that'd happen but interesting to think about.

You guys sound like such defeatists.

You give up at just the sound of a gun cocking also?

I have no faith in boehner or the rinos what so ever but there are still alot of good conservative constitutionalist in congress that the repubs still control.

Start CALLING each and every rep and talk to them about your point of view.
Emails are a was of time but a phone call usually gets you a live person at their office to talk to who will pass the call ratio along to the reps.

Join the SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION or GOA. [nra is a waste]

Keep fighting, dont quit, dont give up.

Every single gun owner needs to become an activist now, not just a by stander.

We get active and persusive and maybe we dont even get a ban.

I definitely don't consider myself a defeatist. I just think its wise to not put my true feelings or beliefs on an open forum.

This stuff up here ^^^

Except I say send emails too - LOTS of them with subject lines that identify the contents so they can see before opening it what it is about.

If anything,they will go after all semi-auto rifles....FOR NOW.....then "sniper" rifles,i.e.,anything with a scope. Handguns? Obamy has already mentioned them for elimination.
As for me,I'll not give anything up. If the Marxists want to goose-step in and confiscate them from my home,they know where to find me. I'm just wondering how many of these newly-minted federal LE types will be willing to take a chance of not going home to their families that night.

sounds like someone may have read the enemies trilogy...

BULLETS RAIN DOWN UPON A PACKED FOOTBALL STADIUM, killing dozens, and triggering a panic stampede which leads to a thousand more deaths. A police marksman kills the sniper, a mentally unbalanced Desert Storm veteran holding a smoking assault rifle. It's an open and shut case, or so America is led to believe...

In the aftermath of the stadium massacre, an outraged public demands an end to the threat posed by assault rifles, and Congress passes emergency legislation banning their private possession. American gun owners have one week to turn in their semi-automatic rifles, or face mandatory five year federal prison terms.
