It is much easier for the government to prevent you from getting a gun, than it is to take away a gun our already have.
Buy now. Buy now for yourself, your children and your grandchildren.
Some of the ones that didn't make it (my canned response to commenters calling gun owners "paranoid", purposely listing the proposals with no paragraphs for impact):
I love that "paranoia" meme you anti-gun people often come up with.
Month after month, year after year, gun owners are besieged with all kinds of crack-brained anti-gun laws proposed by the Democrats: $25 per firearm and 15c per round tax, $10,000 fine for failure to report a lost or stolen firearm, psychological exams for all gun buyers, an "arsenal license" if you have more that 1,000 rounds (two bricks of .22 ammo), license and/or fingerprint buyer of ammo, ban more than the purchase of one gun a month, three/seven/ten day “cooling off†period even in this day of instant background checks, "ballistic fingerprinting" of every firearm (as useful as “fingerprinting†car tires), ban small, cheap, easily concealed lightweight guns ("Saturday Night Specials"), no wait, ban large, expensive, cumbersome heavyweight long-range target rifles a la Quigley Down Under ("sniping rifles"), ban guns with pistol grips, ban guns with flash hiders, ban guns with bayonet lugs, ban eeevil-looking military look alike semi-autos, ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds (7 in NY), ban hollow-point bullets ("Cop Killer" ammo), ban lead bullets, etc.,etc. Ban even those that were previously exempt such as C&R long guns (CA).
I could fill this whole page with this litany of lunacy. Then when the gun owners yell "Hey! Wait a minute!', the smug retort is "Oy, you guys are REALLY paranoid"
Here's some of the latest:
Connecticut Bill #122: Restrict All Gun Ownership to A Single Shot
Ban anyone under 12 from gun shows
Scan license plate tags of those attending gun shows
A special commission set up by Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy recommended prohibition of both the sale and possession of any firearm capable of holding 10 rounds or more with no provision to grandfather existing guns. It also calls for any shell casing for ammunition sold in the state have a serial number etched on it for tracing purposes. Plus, all firearms should be registered and ammunition buyers would be restricted to only the caliber chambered for their licensed guns.
“Buy now for your children and grandchildren”
Good advice but don’t forget the ammo. Prices are pretty reasonable currently.
