Obama want's to ban AK-47s

I do not actually believe he can get a ban passed in the current Congress but i will admit i am freaked enough about this causing a spike in prices that i am putting my plans to buy a J-frame on hold and looking at AR's for the first time. I always figured i would get one eventually but i never bothered to seriosuly consider one until now....seriously...considering selling several guns to help finance the purchase...

His true agenda in regard to firearms was never a secret to the American public hence the surge in firearm sales with his election.

God forbid he is reelected there will of course be another huge surge in firearm sales and with good reason.

The problem is that i am very middle of the road in my views and i do not vote one issue. Show me someone in my areas that i do no think is an idiot on other important issues and i am game....goodluck Also, the prices will spike anyways as the fear will allow the fat cats in the industry to pocket the new cash.

I thank you all in advance for supporting the gun industry and helping pay my wages.

There's an industry term for this and it's called a "tactical spike". Everything that people think they can't get is already flying off the shelves. I bet the gun show in Chantilly will be a nightmare this weekend...

...(stuff to her)...As for ak stuff, I'd love to take you shooting sometime to give it a try...and my AR for that matter. I think you'd enjoy it. They're both very useful tools for hunting, defense, and competition. In hunting things like coyotes, varmints, and hogs, fast follow-up shots are very important. In defense, handguns are weak and bolt action rifles are awkward and slow. The ak and AR are commonly chambered in 5.56 and 5.45x39. These who cartridges use a light/fast bullet that are much better at stopping a threat than handguns, while overpenetrating less than handguns OR shotguns. Handguns and shotguns use heavier and slower projectiles that aren't going fast enough to fragment when going through walls. This means they'll penetrate multiple walls fairly easily. A proper hp in an ar or ak tends to start breaking up after the first wall and greatly limits overpenetration into your neighbors house.

Plus, the colorado shooter wasn't using an ak. The awb will come for AR's too. AR's are the dominant sporting, hunting, and defensive rifle today. They're modular, allowing the user to change grips, stocks, forends, barrels, optics, and even complete uppers quickly and easily. If you need a cheap trainer for a new shooter with low recoil...put in a conversion bolt, or pop on a dedicated .22 upper and you've got it. If you're using it for defense, pop on a short/lightweight 5.56 upper. If you're hunting varmints or coyotes, pop on a long/heavy precision upper in 204 ruger, 5.56, 6x45..etc and you're good. If you're hunting deer, a 300 blk upper gives you plenty of power. Moose/buffalo? .450 bushmaster upper or .50 beowulf and it's perfect for the job.

MSR's(modern sporting rifles) are highly useful for a variety of needs in the shooting world.

ughhh, I still feel like i need to take a kerosene bath with a steel wool loofah that republicans chose romney as their best hope in an election against obama. How are you going to make yourself out to be different when you had romneycare and gun restrictions as governor!? Just attempting to make himself appear different on those issues glaringly points out how he's prone to flipping on issues. It looks like their only play was, "look, he's like your obama, but better with the economy...so vote for him you penniless hippies".

Yeah, we're f'd either way. Our choices are now one guy who wants an assault weapons ban (obuma), or the other guy who ACTUALLY SIGNED an assault weapons ban (Romney; all of the mental gymnastics in the world can't change that fact).

I need an AK, now.

figured i'd toss in a conversation i had on my facebook page with an anti-gun friend of mine here for you'all to steal from/critique. She was wondering why anyone but soldiers would need an ak.
