Not that I really need or want one but with this latest mass shootings it looks like the writing is on the wall. It is only in due time the Republicans will start supporting these feel good ridiculous gun laws. I’ll purchase one just because the liberals say I shouldn’t have one.

Pick up a couple or three. Like traps, no one can have too many guns.

Been thinking the same thing. Not sure what I want yet. Big fan of Ruger and S&W. Might go with one of them.

Since when has "need" anything to do with buying a rifle?? Taking off that, by the time you'll "need" one, they are not going to be sold anywhere but the black market.

Love the bolt gun for hunting. Carry a semi-auto .22 on the trapline. Would like to get a .223 in AR platform.

In that case one would have needed a semi automatic rifle by now I would guess. But there would be plenty on the ground to be picked up as well.

One phrase has been on my mind today. A phrase I learned in the service. It's what I must do if this type of evil ever comes near. The phrase is the mission of the infantry. To close with and destroy the enemy.

Buy em while they are cheap! I have one, never shoot it much. My 8 year old daughter used it to shoot her first deer last fall. In my opinion it is the perfect kids gun. Stock is fully adjustable, no fumbling with a bolt and zero recoil. I have little use for it though. I bought it last time this happened and I am glad I made the purchase.

I never have wanted one. Buying one out of fear a politician will tell you no someday is almost as bad as turning one in cause a politician told you too. If it ever comes to a civil war, I think I will acquire a real military weapon rather than a look alike.


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Hey Scuba1, you might wanna keep them in your boat instead of under until you move to dry land, lol.

Buy or build, whatever way you choose, you can always change your set up.

the modern arms of the day are essential to every free people to maintain a well regulated militia

basically never been less expensive than it is now..

basic rifle kit this weekend seal ends at noon eastern Monday , and a 50 dollar lower your in for 350 dollars 35 more to add a decent rear sight and your shooting
https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-m4-carbine-length-5-56-nato-1-7-nitride-rifle-kit.html
you will also want to stock up on standard capacity mags here is a deal for 1K rounds and 10 mags for another 330 dollars https://palmettostatearmory.com/fio...ase-ten-30rd-magpul-5-56x45mm-pmags.html

although I would recommend using soft points for any sort of game or varmint


if each man 16-60 was to maintain a long arm, a store of 1 pound of powder , 3 pounds of lead for his long arm , a blade , 3 days food and water.

the modern equivalent could be considered

a 223/5.56 rifle or 308/7.62 rifle , 1000 rounds of ammunition and 10 magazines , a side arm with 500 rounds of ammunition and 6 magazines , a blade , suitable clothing and foot wear as well as 30 days food and water.

keeping the rifle 250 rounds of ammunition , the side arm with 90 round of ammunition , the blade , 2 changes of cloths and 3 days food and water ready for a moments notice


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Just buy stripped lowers and lower parts kits if the only reason you're buying is "just in case". You can always build it into whatever gun you want later. I bought a stripped lower right before the 2016 election "just in case", because I knew what would happen to the price and availability of them if Hillary had won. I didn't build it into an AR until about a year and a half later.
