    The assault weapons ban is history.

    In case you didn't notice it the Republican platform made no mention of the assault weapons ban.
    Place your orders. In September you can pick them up.

    Not only that But Fully Automatic Machine guns were outlawed in the beginning of the last century. Asthetics do not equal Lethality

    You can still purchase Fully auto but it requires I believe a Class 3 firearm license. Inorder to do this this first you must get approval from the county sherrif. Then from there it goes to the FBI for an exhaustive background search to make sure you have never gotten stepped on an ant. Then there is the tax you must pay for each weapon, not to mention the high price of the weapon because it it full auto. Then by getting this license you are allowing the FBI to do an audit of your firearms any time they want with no notice. Fully auto's were "banned" because of one gun, the tommy gun. It can still be purchased in semi-auto though.

    How many crimes have been commited with legally obtained Class 3 firearms? One in California several years ago and the perp was a police officer.

    The assault weapon ban was a law with a scary name, it made people feel good because the "assault weapons" were off the street. Little did they realize that the weapons could still be bought as "pre-ban's" meaning it was made before the ban or without the few bell's and whistles that the ban banned. I think I saw some ignorant person actually say that now people could by rocket launchers or some stupid thing because the ban sunset'ed. The ban did what it was intended to do with that individual, fool them.

    Buddy of mine just bought an SKS. I've got a Saiga which is kinda an AK-47 type clone. My next rifle will probably be a mosin-nagant or mauser. I think I spelled those right. I live in a studio condo so I don't have enough room for more than one or two guns without them being in someone's face when they walk in.

    I got plenty of room in my house in Alaska. Just send them on up. I'll take care of 'em for ya at no charge!

    That goes for everybody too. Um...as long as I can take them out and "play" with them from time to time!

    I have a suprisingly good CETME (Century Arms isnt known for high quality) it is simalar in action to the HK G3 but would be considered a older brother as the G3 was a refinement on the spanish workings (spain is where the engeneers fled to after ww2) and am looking at Picking up a 9mm Bulgarian Makarov for CCW.

    I use the Cetme (.308) as my Deer Gun it seems to be as accurate as my buddys .308 winchester bolt action I just saved a couple of hundred with my military styled rifle. (In MO you can only use a 5 rnd mag anyway) Maybe i will replace that lost complience cap with a bayonet lug. It is a pain in the *** to find compliance caps anyway.

    I've been eyeing an MP5 for a long time. I just love the way they shoot. Pun intended, it's such a blast!
