Yes, but if they are going into harms way and it doesn't do a bit of good, then why support them? I'm more concerned with someone crossing the US-Canada border that is 1 mile from my house, and setting off a biological weapon. Why not bring everybody back to their own country to actually...

I do see your points, and they make complete sense. I am probably wrong about this.

I understand the problem with Texas. I see that you live there, does the military do a better job? This is obviously simplified, but suppose Texas has 1 mile of border land with Mexico. A 1 mile fence is built. 3 trained snipers are hired, and anyone trying to climb the fence is...

You're right that I have never been to a military base. Maybe what I'm trying to get at is why do we need a federally controlled military to protect us. In the border example, why can't each state defend their own border with their own citizens? If the Texas border is too large, then...

If our goal is to be able to freely own any firearm, why should we support a military effort in another country? Since we should be able to defend our own land, and sustain ourselves without help from others, should we really desire to have a military controlled the government? Maybe we...

He should just lose the right to own a firearm. For his own safety included, he is a danger to himself.

I am trying to decide which to buy. Both Armalite and Serbu are priced low enough, and have high quality parts. I'm looking at single shots, semi-autos are more costly, and I'd rather spend that on ammo and mags for other rifles. So the Armalite and Serbu are roughly the same price, which...

Thanks for the advice. I'm near Buffalo, so Syracuse is just a bit too far for me to go. I guess I'll just sign up and go to one right away.

I'm in New York (not NYC). Do I need to know anything special like specific parts of the gun? The only real experience I have with firearms is with an AK, I really know little about handguns other than what I've read on several forums. Is it a very simple class, or should I prepare?

Well I've got an AK that should work well as a home defense firearm. I just stumbled upon some uzi's for sale and started looking into them. I apologize for my wording, as you can see I don't have alot of experience with guns. But I have been trying to learn quickly in case of a ban. I...

you're right. I guess what I was trying to say was that this gun might be used more for defense, and not hunting/target shooting. Wrong choice of words on my part.

Is there anything that makes them worth the cost? I believe there's a 32 rd mag. which is nice.

They seem like a handgun turned into a rifle. And for $1,000, it seems like a high price for a small 9mm round that won't do much damage. Obviously this was designed for full-auto, and has no sporting purpose. Would you consider owning one for defensive purposes?

He's got a mag-fed without the gas chamber for $3500 that is supposedly shipping in 2 weeks, the semi-auto he hasn't set a time on yet.

What is the best price you've seen for a semi-auto? I know a Serbu semi-auto is on the way for $4,000. Have you seen anything else at a price near that?

I've thought about it, and I think I'm going to go ahead and get the AR50 by armalite. I just can't wait around for a semi-auto that might not come before a ban. Also, I've talked with several .50 bmg people, they are very outspoken that no reports have ever claimed that a .50 bmg has taken...

I thought that a bill banning 50's was proposed in Illinois but never went through. I could be wrong though.

You can go to the liberal anti-50 cal website and read about how they are used to shoot down aircraft that are landing or taking off, one can only imagine 50 cal's will be banned soon. Already banned in California of course. I'm deciding whether to buy an Armalite AR50 or a Serbu BFG right...
