[quote name="Seabeejason" post="865589" timestamp="1356127246"]It is crazy just how stupid our government can be. Those collapsible stocks and flash hiders sure do make a gun extra deadly don't they? If we could just kick out all the Liberal gun haters this country would be a better place. They have absolutely no common sense whatsoever.[/quote] I wouldn't kick anyone out. I would however make an open invitation that those who don't value our constitution are of course welcome to leave. The next time someone mentions how nice it must be to live somewhere with strict gun control like England or Italy, I suggest cordially inviting them to by all means GTFO.

With the shows I've been to it seems far fetched to imagine a fair price on anything right now. Maybe you'll find one of the handful of people looking to trade or sell for a decent price but it just seems most gun vendors gouge at shows as a matter of principal. YMMV

Not sure I'd be overly concerned, I guess any things possible but is say if anything NFA items might be harder/more expensive to get into in the future. I guess I just don't see a round up type confiscation happening?

Mine came in a few days ago, haven't had time to take any pics but I am ecstatic! I'll get some pics up tomorrow and mines going out tomorrow morning. Meant to get it out earlier but got caught up with a busy work week. Thank you to my secret Santa, the family's going to have a hard time living up to the awesome stuff you sent.

??? Children still box today, I don't get it? I think some of you guys take the whole "today's generation are raised to be zombie minded liberal pu$&ies" a little too far.

You might want to give everyone a bit longer than 15 hours to read and respond, some of us have work/families/bowling/etc. Just saying... Now my question to you is, have you given any thought to an M14? Unless your married to the ar platform that is where I'd be looking if I was thinking about going to the .308 The only real upside for me to an ar10 would be the inexpensive pmags. My 0.02

I never thought I'd be sad to see either go, of course who could have predicted the circumstances?

[quote name="Dustbuster" post="857651" time="1355115167"]The russian dude is the kid on "fps russia" on you tube. always doing "something" w various weapons,pretty funny sometimes..[/quote] And pretty knowledgable about his weapons as well. He gets access to some cool stuff, saw him fire two AA12s, that would be cool.

[quote name="Tempest455" post="862216" time="1355791997"]Little up date from my sons school today. He came home from school and said they discussed it at length and did mock drills to prepare.   He said they went into the locker room and they said, "if you hear shooting, you could hide in a locker to protect yourself from gunfire".   And my son said, "uhm, no it won't".   He's shot enough .223 to know better. Might be a good place to hide, however.   As a result, now you have to be buzzed in to get into the school which I think is a good thing.[/quote] Didn't you know, they are building school lockers out of the same bomb proof material as the school desks of the 50's and 60's?

The people I work with have no idea I'm into guns, I have no idea as to their personal views either, quite frankly I'm perfectly happy with the arrangement. Only a few non family members know I'm all that into guns and most of my extended family has no idea.

[quote name="ThePunisher" post="861756" time="1355720804"] She looks like she's been hit by a bus.[/quote] The ugly bus... Yeah, it had to be said.

[quote name="Trekbike" post="861632" time="1355710574"]Yea, I can easily see that happening. Then Dad gets a call from the school to determine if all the guns are properly secured, and it's not proper for kids to be around guns, and you're a bad parent...[/quote] I can see a whole lot of "none of your business" happening after that.

I see where your coming from, but taken in context I see no problem with it. If a school kid knows another school kid has a gun they should tell someone. That's just basic Eddy Eagle stuff. Likewise, if a child sees a gun on campus they should alert someone. Don't see the problem when taken into contexts?

[quote name="luke9511" post="861391" time="1355694350"]im thinking of seeing if i can trade my 91/30 for one of the ones i saw, will see though[/quote] I wouldn't do it. Keep the 91/30 and just save up for the next one. You'll never get close to your investment back on your 91/30, you'll be lucky if they offer you $50. Besides, you need at least two Nagants.

What I'm trying to say is you can't turn back the clock. At this point regardless of who's administering it, the X-rays the pat downs, and the BS are here to stay. We live in a different world now than we did then. Sad but true, security measures are not going to become more lax. Can you imagine the lawsuits the airlines would open themselves up to if they decided to forgo existing security measures in the name of making people feel less harassed? It has once again proved pointless to enter a discussion on the topic, you guys have fun giving yourself aneurisms on the topic.

Paladin132, I meant what I said. You have no right to fly, you also have no right to shop at Walmart or drive a car. As far as breathing, well you do have a right to life. As far as walking down the street, I don't know? If we want to make some kind of point about all the things we do on a daily basis that we have no technical right too I guess we can, I don't see the point though? The fact will remain, you have absolutely no right to fly.

[quote name="6.8 AR" post="861311" time="1355683620"]The word "contraband" includes some ridiculous items and their mission involving stupid mistakes is a bit on the edge of harrassment. The airline industry should have control of its security. TSA has some numb nuts, to borrow from Ted Nugent, that include thiefs and idiots with improper training and would probably fail background checks from any other employer.   The last time I got on an airplane was before the TSA was around. At least in BNA and Pittsburgh the security was very good without them. As a matter of fact, Chicago, Cleveland and Newark was very good without them. That's the extent of my flying commercially.   I don't see how another federalizing did anything good with airport security, at all.   The TSA is a joke to any other group that performs security functions. I would rather see it like it used to be.[/quote] You are right on many points 6.8, the federalization of aviation security surely didn't make things better and the list of contraband has grown to lengths that would almost be considered humorous. Likewise I agree that the agents are underpaid, under trained, under qualified. As far as being a bunch of dishonest thrives, you'll find those in any profession so that's almost a moot point. My point is, the TSA has a job, the job gets done. Not always perfectly, and often to the dissatisfaction of those they serve but it gets done. To say they've never done anything favorable or prevented an incident is just as incorrect as to say they are a perfect example of a security force. In this day and age it's also not in fathomable that if left to their own devices the security provided by airlines wouldn't be much the same. The pat downs and screenings would most likely stay, you'll still probably have to take your shoes off, aside from removing the Feds from the equation which I understand and agree with, what would you realistically hope to see changed?

[quote name="Sour Kraut" post="861304" time="1355683268"]People will always bitch..[/quote] That alone pretty much spells it out. My personal favorite is when people complain about the way we do things then point to Israel and ask why we can't do things the same as them.

[quote name="6.8 AR" post="861290" time="1355680832"]Now, aren't they a bunch to be proud of?   All they are is a group of government thug intimidators. They have never caught anyone in line with their mission, have they?[/quote] Everyday. Contrary to popular TGO belief their "mission" includes more than catching grenade wielding terrorists. Like it or not any time they prevent someone from boarding with contraband, they've succeeded. That includes numerous firearms, every week that somehow got "forgotten" in carry on baggage. Of course that does seem to be a problem, after all someone stupid enough to forget their gun in their baggage is exactly who I want armed next to me on a plane. I mean it just says so much about somebody's good judgment when they "forget" they've got a gun with them. Like I've said in other threads, is the TSA some kind of thing to be celebrated? No. Are they violating anyone's rights? No, flying is not a right, you make the choice to subject yourself every time you pay for a ticket. Do we have much bigger problems in our government than the TSA? Uh, yes.

The book i was referring to is a handbook of rules/regs that ATF sends out spelling out the do's and don'ts and a list (outdated by about 6 years) of approved C&R weapons.

Trying to get mine out, am I the only one that went over budget? If its a faux paux I guess I could make adjustments but I think the things I have picked out all make some bizarre kind of eclectic sense... Still waiting on mine and the anticipation is killing me!

[quote name="Garufa" post="861083" time="1355626234"]When the facts come out let me know.  I'm tired of playing the what happened when game get again.   There is so much bullshit flooding the newswaves right now I don't think anyone has a clear picture of what happend and how.[/quote] I've agreed with several things said on the topic so far but none as wholeheartedly as this. The speculations floating in this thread are as ridiculous and numerous as any in the main stream media and are thick enough to choke 6 donkeys.
