Long guns and ammo are flying out of my gun store here in MA, too. Boston may want to take our guns but the rest of the state is answering with their wallets.

The HiPoint is butt ugly, but it has a surprisingly good trigger feel. I compared one to a Springfield at my local FFL. I can't speak for how it performs at the range.

No longer fear... fact.

Obama’s transition web site: http://change.gov/agenda/urbanpolicy/

Two thirds down the page you find:

________________________________________________________
Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

This is Brady Center for Gun Control speak for defacto gun registration, outlawing gun shows, outlawing all privet sales, requiring access-limiting & high cost devices/safes for storage and outlawing about any rifle and even shotguns designed since WWI. Say goodbye to your Remington 1100 shotguns and Browning Safari Grade autoloader...

Some 2nd ammendment rights supporter this lieing POS is...

I wonder how many of these buyers were union guys, idiots, who still voted for Zero.

[Little Pig]

Well, if I knew what you or Shooter looked like, I’d be sure to say “hi”.

[oldfart]

That’s a nice idea but in reality... No, you’d be lucky to get 500 people to make such a march. everyone else would ‘wait and see.’

I believe that the catastrophe has begun as well. It’s hard not to have a little fear when thinking of what could possibly happen now, but I have also steeled myself. I have collecting weapons, ammo, and survival gear. I intend to defend and survive in my home as long as possible. Should that become impossible, I will head into the wilderness and survive as long as I can. I will never submit, I will never give up.

I hope beyond hope that what you have described and what I have seen in my own mind does not come to pass. I hope that God is still with us. But hope aside, it would be stupid not to prepare for the endgame. This country has shown itself to be the most ignorant nation on earth in electing this man. Despite this ignorance, it is my intent to survive, it is my intent to fight for my country as so many heroes have done so before me. I will not dishonor such heroes by laying down in the face of tyranny.

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

It works fine at the range, right out of the box. Our company has dozens of them.

Ping to post #39.

Sage advice..

Bump and I’m pinging you to a post.

If you don’t plan to use them, might as well use them as fishing poles.

Speaking of fishing poles, the top AR is for the cat, the bottom one is for the goldfish, not pictured. They will have to suffice as my backup until I can breed and raise a couple of patriots (I recently got married, please allow sufficient time to procreate!)

[HockeyPop]

To paraphrase Walter Williams:

If you hear they’ve confiscated my guns then you’ll know I am dead.

[Windflier]

You might be chasing that purchase price and never catch up.

Don't misunderstand... I'm not chasing a bargain. Heavens no. I just need the spare funds to make some purchases.

Here's The Word, from the website of The One himself (well you are paying for it, its a .gov website):

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

The first will allow the likes of Bloomberg to go after dealers, even in other states.

We know what the grabbers mean when they talk about "commonsense measures", any bans, restrictions and regulations they can think of to make gun ownership more difficult and expensive. Restrictions on ranges (health concerns don't you know). Restrictions on ammunition (that'll come as part of the revamped and strengthened AWB).

The first target, if it's not included in the AWB, which I expect, it will be, may be .50 caliber sniper rifles which can shoot through armored limos.

I’m sure that the Minutemen of 1776 broke a few of King George’s laws.

Any law written by the hand of man which conflicts with the natural order is immoral, and ultimately unenforceable. The only way to make such laws stick, is to subjugate the people through extreme violence.

Are we going to let Obama subjugate us with his un-natural laws?

[Windflier]

if a jack-booted thug knows a hornet’s nest is full to the brim with angry hornets, then he may wisely choose not to disturb that nest.

That's a sane observation, and entirely true. It's precisely why America hasn't been turned into a Marxist dictatorship already.

"But what do we do about all of those guns?"

So far, the Socialists and Marxists haven't been able to crack that stumbling block, thank God.

[El Gato]

I’m not worried about dealers and stores running out of perfectly legal goods.

But the question is, how long will they remain perfectly legal goods? Not much past March 1st in some cases would be my bet. Even if they theoretically retain the ability to sustain a filibuster, which is still up in the air, the 'pubbies won't do so for a bunch of redneck militia nuts.

[woollyone]

can we nominate him for public office soon?

[El Gato]

When it’s time to bury your guns, it’s also time to dig them up.
