Until the EO banning the important of cheap commie bloc mags and ammo comes along.

As Barky issued one to stop the re-importation of US-made Garands he may look at this as an easy under the radar choice.

I’ve even seen some equating “assault” with “semi-automatic”, insisting, therefore, that a Glock is an assault weapon.

It is but so is a bare fist. I agree with your point though. Fling enough misinformation at low information voters and it will stick to them.

Well if Reuters calls something “assault”, who are we who don’t have a approved Style Manual to disagree.

When it comes to misinformation about firearms, I think their concept is “flood the zone.”

My son and I were at a show in Salem, VA yesterday. One we’d been planning on attending for weeks. Place was mobbed and everyone from the dealers to the cops checking-in weapons to the people around me in line were commenting how they’d never seen a show attendance like this.

it.was.nuts.

Thankfully we were just there looking for some knives for his collection and maybe some accessories for me. You couldn’t even get close to the tables selling new hardware.

A few days ago I shredded a friend’s argument for gun control when he used that term. All I did was ask him to define the term “Assault Weapon”. After that it was all downhill for him. He even tried to link the second amendment with guns and hunting. I was laughing when I pointed out that the second amendment had nothing to do with hunting and does not contain the term “Gun”.

I just ask them if I have hit them with a gun. WHen they say no, then I say I wasn’t “assaulting” you… they usually shut up.

I hope people are able to get what they want before any ban hits. I hate to say it, but if you’re just now getting around to buying a sport utility rifle, you’re a little behind the curve.

Hence the reason for my sadness. What an indictment of human nature!

good luck buying 223 for less than 800/$1000.

What’ll you give me for a barrel full of once fired .223 brass?
