John Hinckley used a Röhm RG 14 in the Reagan assassination attempt. They are pure pot metal junk. I’ve been waiting for a local gun buyback to dump the thing.
Great art work by the way.
Holy Cain - is that true?
Describe Assault Weapon?
A Baseball Bat is just a Baseball Bat until you hit someone in the head with it. At that point it time it becomes an Assault Weapon.
Buy a used HiPoint .380 for $60 -$80.
Take it to the Buyback and sell it for $150.
Heck, buy three of them and you can pocket a quick $200.
Man, I should go. I’ve got an INA .38 that I’m afraid to fire and a Derringer that will fire...most of the time. $300 for the pair, sold!
