what guns should I buy that are prone to being banned

[Dmitri Popov]

I think Congress can overturn an executive order, but I don't think the POTUS needs permission to declare one. Thats what makes it an EO.

I dont foresee any bans coming. If there are, it would be assault rifles or any semi automatic rifle with a high capacity. I'd say the FiveseveN but attempts at getting it banned got the ammo pretty much banned by sen Hillary and chuck schumer of new York.

Gun Laws/Bans

Hi,
I got a buddy that enjoys shooting guns and is really into ar-15's. Being in NJ, we can have similar models as long as they dont have certain "evil" features. He wants to buy one but is worried about future laws/bans that might restrict the ownership/purchasing right. I try to tell him not to worry about that, but he is hesitant and doesnt want to spend money on something that might someday be not legal to own. Do you see any future serious gun laws that will prevent certain ownership rights? Is it possible to ban certain guns outright in such a broad sense? NJ has an AWB that lists firearms that NJ residents are strictly prohibited. Who says this list can grow and become ever more restricted?

Saiga shotgun and the drum have "anti target" painted all over... .50 semi autos too.

FN 5.7(Brady hates it), any AK, AR, fun looking semi auto mil type weapon(PPS43c, Suomi, Sterling, etc.) any import, and pretty much anything that looks cool...

I would agree that the general political wind in this country has been favorable regarding gun laws. However, two very biased Supreme Court justices have been added this term. If Obama wins again, and I believe he will, the opportunity will be there to add at least one more, maybe two. That's half the Supreme Court that has been packed in the last 8 years and those folks will be with us for a long, long time. I believe we could lose our rights so fast it would shock us. The wrong case comes to the Supreme Court, it could be over with one sweeping decision. To think the last big case was decided on a 5-4 decision when the case was absolutely made for us. If we don't defeat Obama, next time, we will lose. We cannot allow him to continue to stack the Court against the Constitution. And you can bet that's the way the vote will go.

I believe you to be correct. And now I'm completely depressed.

Buck 460XRV... " Guns are like Harleys and women" I've got a whole lot of guns , couple of bikes and one woman. The latter cost the most!

BigSteve57, worry not my friend! Remember a man with a gun is a citizen, a man without is a serf. Americans do love their guns!

You will end up overpaying for a gun you don't really care for. If you like AR's and don't have one, prices are reasonable, also the slide fire stocks. Especially if you buy one used without it being registered in your name, "just in case they decide to disqualify them" they are making them for the AK now also, and the 2nd Gen model is out. It looks more like a regular AR stock. Other than that 50's, saiga shotguns. The usual suspects, but buy something you like. Personally as long as we keep the preasure and a watchful eye on Washington, we should be ok, donate to the NRA, half of what you were going to spend. And keep them going, working for our rights.

Well, the antigunners have not yet forgotten the assault clip, but they haven't forgotten anything else either. Hey, with a lot of luck, we'll be using energy weapons in 60 years and nobody will care about regulating chemical firearms anymore.

True, it is sobering to read that, but maybe if more people are reminded of that, they won't think twice about voting next November or joining the NRA.

not this tired thread...again...

When one looks at what has happened in the vast majority of other developed nations its hard not to think gun rights in the US will not be further eroded over time. I absolutely hope this is not the case but i'm not too optimistic. The current trend is in our favor but the views of society are anything but static.

Anyways, my purchasing is certainly influenced by concerns of future legislation. I won't buy a gun i have no interest in just because it may get banned but the ones i do want that tend to get targeted by anti-gun groups are higher on my list of what to get next. I think if any substantial anti gun legislation gets passed it will look very much like the assault weapons ban. As others have stated i worry about imported guns that can be readily converted back to their original military form(minus select fire). Legislation banning such guns doesn't worry me as much as some ridiculous new ATF interpretation. High cap mags are also something i buy frequently. I also think owning a few AR receivers is not a bad idea as they would not likely be affected by any new legislation.

Play it safe: Buy one of everything!

Best answer! Might take a few years to accomplish though.

I live in SoCal and I'm buying an M1A as soon as I can just for that reason. It won't be long before ALL rifles in Ca are like the mini-14; 5 rounds at a time!
