Hello, I have been around guns my whole life and have owned since my father gave me a 16ga shotgun for my 12th b-day. I own mostly hunting style long guns, 22(lr,mag,hornet),270, 303sav, 30-30, mauser 7mm? (been so long since dad gave me that one I cant even remember the cal!), 7.62x39 (sks). Since my two boys are now 8-10 yr old I have started to talk to them about gun safety and getting them comfortable with them, not shooting yet, and I have started to regain my love for firearms. Then the tragedy happened in my state and my plan of getting a new toy for myself (AR style sport rifle) seems to be now totally out of reach. I have a steady job and provide for my family but after that there really is not much left for me to spend on myself and from what I am seeing and hearing, even if I could find a rifle or kit to build one, I could never afford it! Oh well, enough boo whooing from me. I am glad and excited to get back into the sport and just hope people of this great nation understand that its not about gun rights as much as its about our Constitutional Rights, we let them take one and whats to stop them from taking another and another. Those who dont learn history are doomed to repeat it. Thanks for welcoming me and I look forward to listening and learning, Tedd
