Ummmm? That's a shotgun, a very nice one (I wouldn't mind having one myself) but definitely not a rifle. Box has the right idea. And before you start tossing around whatever disposable income you have, you might want to give serious consideration to why you want to buy a rifle. Until you win the lottery and have the disposable income to buy all your "wants", purchases should be guided by requirements. Personally, I think an MSR is the ideal solution for persons wanting to exercise/defend their Constitutional rights. Address that requirement then you can acquire something that'll look "esthetic" (and not offend the Fudds) when putting Bambi in the freezer. MOO, YMMV.

Oh - I'm sorry; it's not what you said, it's what you meant to say. The wife does that to me all the time. You'd think I'd know better by now.

Ha, ha....well I'm still a bit of a novice with rifles/shoot guns/and pistols. I do get to handle some nice rifles, handguns and shot guns at my local gun store. I just do a bit of window shopping and get to play with the merchandise. One of these days I'll breakdown and purchase one.....

This could also go under the "Civil War" thread.

Nearly a Third of Democrats Say It Should Be Illegal to Join the NRA
https://pjmedia.com/trending/nearly-...-join-the-nra/

Quote:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that nearly one-out-of-three Likely Democratic Voters (32%) favor declaring the gun rights group a terrorist organization in the community where they live. Fourteen percent (14%) of Republicans and 20% of voters not affiliated with either major party agree.

Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Democrats say Americans should be prohibited by law from belonging to pro-gun rights organizations like the NRA, a view shared by 15% of Republicans and 10% of uanffiliateds.

Among all likely voters, 23% favor declaring the NRA a terrorist organization in their home community, while 18% think it should be against the law to belong to pro-gun rights groups like the NRA.
Sadly, it doesn't even surprise me to find that 15% of so-called republicans agree with the communists.

Parkland Dad has the right idea

Father of Parkland shooting victim:
'Guns didn’t kill my daughter, Democratic policies did'

Money quote:
Quote:
"To me, gun control would’ve been if they arrested him for punching his mother’s teeth out and he got a background,” explained Pollack. "Democrats put these policies in place that don't believe in holding kids accountable or arresting them while they're juveniles...so if they don't arrest them and they don't get a background, then they're able to purchase weapons legally and a background check is useless," he said.
Full story of the interview here.

Once again, I find myself distributing the letter you gentlemen released to those who cannot grasp that there are capable people resistant to a tyrannical government whose objective is the gutting and eventual elimination of the right to keep and bear arms.

Lemmings, hiding behind their comfort and the teachings of those who bow to the government as the ultimate arbitrator of their existence. They cannot bear to grasp the reality of what the communists are trying to do, they cannot accept that the communists will not be willing to let the people "passively resist" by not turning in their firearms. They cannot bring themselves to believe that a communist controlled US government will send armed agents, both willing law enforcement and military, to their doors to take the weapons.

Even here in Texas, too many gun owners are willing to go along with increasing infringements in hope that it will never reach the stated goals of the communists.
They continue to believe in the Republican party and the NRA as their saviors.

(Sorry about the vent, really frustrated this morning after arguing with idiots all week.)

I’ve been immersed in anti-2A liberal environment for the last two years. So much so I know what my peers would say: you’re a horrible person. I would never go to your house or let my family n friends go either. What a poor daughter to have to deal with such influence /sarc/

Yea i keep my mouth shut here. Even some of those charged w our security are openly anti 2a. Keep your friends close.......

Gotta love the previous drug guys. They told me in a Benghazi scenario to head over to their Armory and make myself useful. Also when we are out and about, one always tells me where the “snacks” are.

Every now and then, I meet another closet gun guy and can be myself again

It won't be long before some company makes an 80% Johnny Gun receiver along with the jig to drill out the 20% and there you have a BAR in multiple calibers; .308, 5.56, .3006, 6.5 x55 SWD.

Just the hope of such an endeavor is enough to cause a freedom boner.

I always get a kick out of these slugs when they plug in exemptions for "possession by a retired law enforcement officer." Creates a new class of special citizen (which means, "you get yours, so vote for mine").

I have nothing for her but acronyms like GFY and BFYTW. But then I'm one of those scary people Napolitano wrote about so...
