What are good lower priced semi-auto "sleepers" in .223 out there?

Hunter, Thanks for the reality check. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. I agree that the Obama administration has been no barrier to gun rights, and has made it even easier for us out west to enjoy our National Parks without worry about how to stash our pistol or rifles when we visit. I have my one stop assault rifle, and my three WW2 Semiautos. . . Think I'm good for bang sticks, but I am always in the market for ammunition.No offense, but you are part of the problem. Repeating maketeting terms developed by anti gun rights groups is unacceptable as a gun owner.
Do you want to get a jump on blowing lots of cash on guns that are not needed, but purchased out of fear and sold at a loss like folks did during the last election. Obama has passed more pro-gun legislation that either of the previous two republicans. You can carry in state parks, and amtrak. Nevermind reality, the sky is falling buy em' up.
Yep, and many a German Jew, never thought the Nazis would take control of Germany.
Right now, assault weapons, as defined by the fed gov, are at an all time low price wise

Guns that were around $250 are not $450 like the ak. Even the ar-15s have gone up a little. What you are saying just plain makes no sense. In an economy where EVERYTHING is going up you expect gun prices to decrease? Especially to an "all time low?" Wow...You can't make this stuff up.

Either take control of the debate, or the debate will take control of you. It really is that simple. Silence is no longer an option. The news cycle never ends. Either you determine the message or someone else will.
Our focus is on language. We already know the words that work – or we’ll find them for you…fast.
Consider our record:
We changed the “estate tax” to the “death tax” and that changed the course of legislative history.
We changed “global warming” to “climate change,” and while that was highly confidential, even opponents acknowledged how those two words significantly impacted the public debate.
We changed “drilling for oil” to “exploring for energy,” and that helped energy companies secure the rights to develop more energy resources right here in America.
We changed “school choice” to “parental choice” and “vouchers” to “opportunity scholarships,” and that has helped the education reform efforts in more than a dozen states.”
Time after time we have succeeded in changing the course of the debate, and the impact can be measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
The terms do actually matter. There's well paid people whose whole job is picking the right sound bites for a politician/public affairs officer/company spokesman/etc. to use.
You do realize 'semi-auto military style rifle' is another anti-gun term right?
The journalists use those terms for any number of a couple of reasons. Either they don't know any better, they are anti-gun themselves, or they're trying to be sensationalist to sell more newspapers.
If you want to do the Brady Campaign's consultant's job for them you're certainly free to do so
They're not technically assault rifles because bla, bla, bla....
Why must this be regurgitated repeatedly every time the term is used? Who cares? Does anybody actually believe opinions on gun issues are influenced one way or the other by an article using the phrase "semi-auto military style rifle" instead of "assault rifle"? Nobody today assumes the term means the weapon was select fire. Pointing out what one believes is the misuse of the term is a complete straw man arguement that accomplishes NOTHING!
I had to look up Godwin's Law, and so I learned something today. Thanks for that.Godwin's Law in only 7 posts. That was quick.
Buy if you can afford to. If not at least get ammo. If for no other reason than you can. All tin foil aside, buy a rifle and lots of ammo and take a carbine class with someone like Pat Rogers.
