If Kerry wins will you make any changes or purchases?

I don't think either Kerry or Bush care much about the second amendment. Further, if Kerry is elected, I doubt that guns, or anything related to them, will be very high on his agenda. If he has any interest at all in a second term, he'll leave guns alone.

My guess is his first three agenda items will be the economy, our international relations and Iraq. But then, what do I know. I'm just a dumb Kansas Republican, whose elected leaders don't think we're smart enough to deal with CCW.:banghead:

Kerry has voted for every gun control measure, including the latest "ammo ban", one of his very few votes this year.

I'm getting ammo... buy it cheap, stack it deep.


Johnny in...uh... nevermind.
 
America isn't dumb enough to elect that Kerry creature.

If they could vote Bush into office, they could elect Kerry--or Bush again. It's a lose-lose situation; it's just a question of how much of what you want to lose.
 
I'm old enough to remember when the 1968 GCA was passed...

At the time many of my gun-owning friends pushed the panic button. The sky it was said, would fall any minute.

The same happened when President "Sleaze" Clinton's efforts at "Assault Weapon" control came along. The biggest net effect of that adventure was that after decades the Democrats lost control of congress and after 10 years they hasn’t regained it.

As president (if he should win) Kerry would push an anti-gun agenda, no question about that. But so far as getting new legislation passed - he'd have to get congress to go along, and in any case that takes time. They’d have to hold hearings and all of that kind of stuff.

Left-Wing Democrats are slow learners. So far their determined efforts in the cause of radical gun control has cost them control of congress and contributed toward the loss of a presidential election. If Kerry goes off the deep end (and I expect he will) the stance will cost the Democrats again. In spite of the usual full support from mainstream media the Democrats' haven't seemed to have generated much public support for their position on the about-to-go-dead AWB. For that matter they haven't even generated any public interest in the issue.

So, this gun owner isn't going to get his undies in a wad. He's seen it all before.
 
Clinton was the the best gun saleman in history

I have often said the same thing! It seems the gun shows I attended were always packed during the Clinton Era. Unfortunately , most of the junk guns I bought were produced in this time frame as well. Seems the gun companies were spitting them out as fast as they could without regard to quality.
 
I am very much a Bush fan but I do believe Kerry will win. That being said our gun rights will survive and the country will go on. Who is president is not anywhere near as important as people seem to think. I totally despised Clinton but after 8 years in office the only thing he really did to piss me off was pass the AWB. Now one of those third party nut jobs got elected or even enough power and we would have real problems. The 2 major parties like power too much to mess with the status quo. Thats why they have survived so long.
 
Like I told my wife in the last one..."If Gore wins, I am buying PALLETS of ammunition".

Same this time:what:
 
More ammo, 2 years supply of food and water, other survival items needed to get past the inevitable catastrophic terror attacks that will follow Kerry taking charge of the war on terror.


Probably will start looking for survival property in SW Virginia, W. Virginia, or N.C., something with water and an accessible coal seam on it.
 
********I totally despised Clinton but after 8 years in office the only thing he really did to piss me off was pass the AWB. ********

This confuses me. Didn't an awful lot of Republicans in the Senate and the House have to vote for this before Clinton saw it? And didn't the Republicans control both houses at that time?:confused:

No, at the time (1993, 1994) the Democrats controlled both the House and Senate. The 1994 elections came after the AWB was passed. While the "gun vote" in itself didn't cause this major loss to them, it did make a major contribution. Who said so? Clinton himself.

He later retaliated by trying to destroy the handgun industry, but only succeeded in getting Smith & Wesson (then controlled by a British conglomerate) to sign the notorious Agreement between that company and approximately 20 cities or states that had sued every company in the business. We are very lucky he didn’t succeed.
 
I consider both to be equally good at causing trouble so ammo and spare parts aquisitions continue as scheduled regardless of who is the big cheese.

No it was a suprisingly partisian vote, especially in the House. It did succeed in getting the Republican control of most of the federal goverment. Even managed to get the Democratic Speaker of the House completely kicked out of politics.
 
Any weapon I buy can always be sold at no more than a minor loss. Any ammo I buy will be shot sooner or later anyway. I don't see a significant downside to buying what I want as soon as I can. I've been pursuing a gradual build up for some time now, and with the expiration of the AWB I will be getting the rest of what i want once and for all. If a new AWB is passed, i'll be set (assuming owned weapons are grandfathered.) I simply don't see a real down side to doing it this way.

However, there was a gentleman who posted on here a few months ago, describing how he had put his whole life into buying assault weapons right before the 94 ban. He attributed every problem in his life to the ban. I ddon't plan on gonig quite that far.
