I'm gonna donate most of it to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Or get a couple AKs. I think a nice guy like me having lots of firepower goes a long way toward preventing gun violence.
 
Americans should "let the government buy your next gun" by spending part, or all of their economic stimulus checks on a new firearm, ammunition or shooting accessory, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Now that's funny - as if there were ANY chance that I WOULDN'T spend the whole thing on a gun - duh! :)
 
Buy American

Whatever you choose to buy, I hope you do not buy foreign made goods ... too much money now goes to feed foreign economies. Buy a nice S&W.
 
A noble sentiment, however, American surplus 7.62x54R is as scarce as hen's teeth.
 
'Let government buy your next gun'

It's this kind of detached thinking that allows the politicians to steal from us more and more without the people getting upset.

And yes lets keep the purchases to American companies. Crap or not.
 
My college Financial Aid bought me a SA 1911. ;p

And I've been planning on spending my stimulus check on guns for quite a while now!

Right on. Mrs. Black Adder is getting a Ruger sp101 with our rebate. Thanks Uncle Sam, one more law abiding CC'er will be out there...

This was my plan BUT we need a new washer and dryer. Still I'm going to buy a beginning reloading kit (does that get me out of some hot water with you guys?)

Yeah, I'm kind of in your boat too...

Was going to buy a new rifle, but I have to do some home improvements instead.

But, I am also buying my reloading equipment with my check :)
 
I plan on stimulating the economy and myself. I will be putting an order in for two cases of CMP ammo. Then off I go to my uncles ranch and stimulate the squirrels and rabbits to death.
 
I plan on putting it away in case Bravo Comany ever (sigh) gets their mid-length uppers done. Until that unlikely time arrives will act as a cushion since I have to pay closing costs on my new house next month.

Edit: I also want a S&W M&P 340 but that will be on the back burner for awhile :(
 
Well, unfortunately I have to use at least part of it to make sure my truck will be able to make it to Kentucky so I can go to grad school.

I know, I need to rethink my priorities.

If there's enough left over, I want to get another Smith Model 10...or an SKS...or a Ruger 10/22...or...well, I'll decide when the time comes. If there's not enough left for a new gun, I'll at least be getting more ammo and accessories for the guns I have.
 
I wanna use mine on accessories and another Marlin Mod 60. I should have just enough left over for a downpayment on a piece of property to build my own range on.
 
I will probably spend my refund and my "stimulus" money on paying off a credit card. Maybe buy some tires for my truck.

Don't plan to spend anything on guns, unless I can talk my wife into a small amount of ammo and a set of 5.56 dies.
 
Already spent mine on an M4gery and Ciener kit. What more patriotic act could a person participate in than exercising 2A rights while stimulating American manufacturing? :neener:
 
I will use my tax rebate to help offset the 1675.00 I just wrote a check for to the IRS. renting married no kids = crazy amount of taxes paid. on the other hand . I just buy guns whenever I want them.

If your Financial Aid was not 100% grants, that was probably not a wise decision. An education is an investment - a gun is mostly not.

Using a loan to buy a toy is one way to get an extremely bad deal on a gun. Buying anything on credit is a really bad deal - unless it appreciates in value (like a house, some of the time). One way to make a $600 gun cost $1000 is to borrow the money to pay for it.

If you have any loans as a part of your Financial Aid package, take your refund and pay on the loans.

Don't ask me how I know buying crap with Financial Aid is a bad idea, because I won't tell you. :) But I am one of the few people I know who had two overlapping student load payments between the tail end of my student loans, and starting payments on a loan I took out for my son's college education. :)

Seriously, if you have any debt, use your rebate to pay down the debt. That's an old man's advice, and I'm sure you won't listen. I didn't. :)

Bingo! That's the right answer. If you haven any credit card debt at all, pay it off! There are not many places today where you can get 10% - 15% returns - the only one that comes to mind is paying down debt. This isn't exactly right, but I think of paying off credit card debt as an investment that returns the equivalent of the CC's interest rate.

Maybe I'm just jealous because Turbo Tax just told me, "No rebate for you!"
