If you have everything you need, magazines and ammo included, then why worry about a ban.
Because I live in America where I have the right to keep and bear firearms and I'm very protective of it because I realize that losing it is the best way to send this country down the crapper. The Constitution and Bill of Rights weren't written with the idea of them applying only to those who were alive when it was written. There are Americans that don't exist yet who will be interested in firearms, but guess what, they still have the right to keep and bear arms, unless we lose it for them because "we had all of the stuff we needed".
They arent going to come and take them from you if you already own it.
But it sure would be easier to do that in the future after 30 years of nobody buying a gun, nobody shooting their guns, gun owners dying, and their guns being melted by the government. Notice none of those things oppose the "keeping" or "bearing" of arms.
I dont understand why people complain about a ban, if you have it already you have nothing to fear.
I might someday hope that my kids could enjoy these sports, with these tools, and could keep themselves from being murdered in their own homes. Now if the rules are we are only allowed to care about ourselves, I could think off well over 300 guns I would like to own before I die. I'm not sure I'll be able to buy them all in four weeks.
Me personally I have one more firearm to get and then stock up on some ammo. My last firearm I am going to purchase is a DPMS 6.5 Creedmoor and then I'm done forever.
Good for you. It sounds like you're set. Is it ok if the government bans ammo and reloading components for your 6.5mm Creedmor rifle too? You'll get to keep your gun since you have the right to keep and bear arms, of course.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, rather, trying to make you think. An outright ban on ownership of firearms is not an overnight thing. It takes a lot of little steps and these steps have been occuring for almost a hundred years.
An "assault weapons" ban is a BIG step. One that you and I need to fight with everything we've got because we're not fools, and we see where this is heading.
