As funny as it sounds, I may want some things, but don't actually "have to have" anything in particular. I did as we all did get rid of some things like an AK, underfolder that I bought for $500.00 and sold 1 year ago, a shotgun and various hi-cap pistols. But have a variety of pistols shotgun etc, that would sufice if I never was able to buy anything ever again.
that would annoy me to no end, "as there is always something I feel I need. But those who just waited too long, like my neighboor who now is looking for an AK for 5 bills, are out of luck.
Ammo concerns me more than guns. Although I have an adequate supply for HD, I should have broken down and bought a few cases. i won't do that now, if I shoot at the range I buy as I go,and don't touch my supply.
This of course we saw coming in some form, and some folks wait till the last minute ,as with hurricanes and snow storms.
This doesn't solve anything as far as our future or kids future, but looking now for things that one had years to buy cheap is an exercise in futility. It's going to either come back or go away, my money is on "coming back". If I really thought that you would not be able to buy the guns we all enjoy shooting, I would take the money out and buy more, but I really believe like everything else, it's an overeation. it is I believe coming back to bite then in the ass.
they underestimated us, again. And the stricter they make it, the easier it will be to overturn.
Not just that , but if they really want a fight, like Wayne said, They got one. this is an all out assault on the American way of life, and this president who would never even prove his true identity, has a big ego if he thinks we will allow this to happen here. I am fit to be tied about the day that we allow some dictitorial legislator with shady friends and a hidden back story tell Americans what we can and can't do.
these people work for us, not the other way around, it's like a bad movie. The guy wants to be emporer, not here, not now, not ever. We have been here before and were resolute in defending our rights, keep up the preasure, make sure you write these politicos every week and twice on Sunday. Flood their emai server until it blows, that's what works.
Sooner or later they will cave. NRA all the way
 
you need to learn to reload. and cast you own bullets. You'll only need to buy primers and powder, then. Lee has good videos, and a single stage press and enough equipment to load for your primary firearm can still be had for about two hundred bucks. more molds and dies in different calibers can then be added as needed, or when you can afford it, at about thirty bucks each.
 
You're right sir. Learning the skills of reloading is not only cheaper, it is a very satisfying activity. Shooting then takes on a whole new dynamic when you roll your own. I've reloaded in the past and it was not only knowledgable but very exciting to test different components and actually see the results and what works best. When you get your loads consistently more accurate than factory ammo, it gives you a sense of pride. But with all things firearm related safety and attention to detail are an absolute must have. And you don't even have to be a master marksman to enjoy the benefits of reloading.

I'm hoping to learn to cast bullets later this year. I've always wanted to give it a shot.
 
I reload for a lot of reasons, but accuracy and cost are the two main reasons. Richard Lee states that you can load more accurate ammo than a mass produced factory round. What really turned me onto reloading was the .45-70. Factory ammo can cost up to three dollars a round, and I can make a round for 20-30 cents.
 
What about tactical gear? If you had to meet your neighborhood company at a rally point, would you be able to gear up?

Vests, boots, holsters, webgear are as necessary as our tools. There is always something else you need.
 
Those things I have enough of gathering them over 4 decades. Optics are easy to get, and I don't think they will be regulated. I still have over a thousand rounds for various weapons that I own, so unless a war breaks out I should be fine. The long guns I have are sufficiatlly stocked for quite some time. I really don't have an area to reload. I FL it's too hot to leave much in the garage plus you don't want to work in 130 degree heat. "that's how hot my garage gets" in summer.Plus for the amount of target shooting I do, a few times a month it's not worth it to save 10 or 15 dollars.

I know some people are extreme with several thousand rounds per weapon, "I had an uncle who died with 100,000 rounds, when I was 10 years old". But I have a sufficient amount to be able to respond to a threat without worrying.
Like my marine sniper friend says, if you survive, you would be picking stuff up from others who didn't. if the crap relly hit the fan.
