2013 Buying Panic/Ban update......good news

[BlackZ71Silverado]

According to one of our high ranking supervisors here at work (just got back from a meeting), Vice President Biden's "task force" is said to announce their decisions supposidely Tuesday (tomorrow).

 

They will be :

tougher background checks to prevent guns from ending up in the hands of the mentally ill

a nationwide discussion on mental health issues and checks, and school safety initiatives.

 

NO restriction on "assault weapons" , magazine capacity, or ammunition.

 

VP Biden has stated that his Senate colleagues opposed any gun control that the task force placed in front of them. So, President Obama plans to blame Congress for no added restrictions on magazine capacities or rifle type/appearance.

 

Looks like a win for the good guys.....................for now. Pretty sure they will try to slip something through the back door somewhere down the road.

 

I bet all of those people who were out panic buying are going to feel pretty silly for paying $2000 for a crappy $600 Bushmaster and DPMS!!!

 

The firearms market should return back to normal by the spring .

I was in cabelas right before xmas and the gun area was crazy. Definitely could tell there was alot of panic buying,

This won't change the fact that I can only have a 10 round magazine in Cali, will it?

NOPE................Cali. is a whole different world. That is a State law, similar in NY and NJ as well.

I'm still trying to find a BCG for my 20" stainless.... no luck. Hopefully this spring I guess.

I debated buying some 30's in Utah, but it wasn't worth the felony to me.

As I understand it you can buy disassembled mags as a "parts kit" and have them sent to CA and then be ok supposedly. I've never looked top deeply in to it though.

Can't do that, it's illegal.Most people/suppliers won't ship them to 10rd states anyway. Some private sellers will but not worth taking a chance of getting in trouble.

My Bushmaster runs just fine....just sayin

[Chris]

My Bushmaster is great. Its accurate and never jammed. More than I can say about the Colt GI M16A2's I have fired while in the military. Those were unreliable. Seemed like there was a jam every 5 rounds

Personally owned anything always tends to operate better than community gear.

[99silveradoz71]

I had debated getting a rifle like we have at work in the past, but decided not to. They just changed our policy at work to allow us to use personally owned rifles, so I've got a few calls in to see what I can get.

[BlackZ71Silverado]

You should buy one for yourself for personal use/ practice. It's good to own the firearms that you use for your job. You will be more familiar with them and can practice whenever you want.

[99silveradoz71]

I definitely intend to. And even before this, I always stress to our new guys to take them out and handle them to get familiar with them. That was something no one ever did when we had shotguns.
