Buying and ownership of AR-15

When the AR's are gone from the people thats when we will see true death and distruction. LB

While I agree, I believe that opinion is in the minority if the entire US public was polled. I feel as gun owners, we can't just fall back on the 2nd amendment discussion, or the self defense discussion. It just doesn't resonate with the non-gun supporting public. Perception is reality, and for them they only know what they know- they see guns used for bad things. Why haven't the major gun lobby groups tried to get better PR surrounding firearms? PR showing how shooting sports teach proper firearm handling. How the culture of hunting, with firearms, keeps families and friends together? The lifestyle we live, and freedoms we have and use with firearms, should be shown. The narrative is only one sided right now, and it's all about bad people doing bad things with firearms.

Petras, you are probably right. I'd also probably see them setting up huge fines/penalties for them after buybacks were in place. Meaning you get caught with one, you go to jail. However, I just don't see a door to door ever happening. You tell me who is going to want that job- "hey, go to all the gun owners houses and take their guns. Yes, they'll have lots of other guns you can't take, but don't worry. Here is a bulletproof vest." I think massive penalties will be the main deterrent. If you can't even bring it out of the house they win.....or almost.

Man doom and gloom Friday.. Don't let them infringe on your rights and stand up for yourself, family and neighbors. Their ultimate tactic would be to offer asinine amounts to owners for their semi's slowly increasing it in steps. Personal safety cannot be replaced and enabling a tyranny of whackos cannot go with me to the grave, I sure wish all my guns didn't burn up in that fire though.

I don't think it's doom and gloom at all, just scenarios. Long way off from happening. But, our right to defend ourselves is getting challenged by the rights of a larger majority of Americans who don't think they should have to worry about defending themselves from firearms. And with each shooting by some wacko, that sentiment grows.

Wellthe run on AR 15’s has finally happened, not one $569 AR left to be found around here. Stores are BUSY! And thanks goes to the Salesman of the year Joseph Biden!

You can’t reason with the unreasonable. The same people that want guns gone and say the police and government will protect you are also the ones that want to defund police departments.

I feel as though nothing will happen as far as guns being taken in the near future, however long after we are gone, and the liberal school system, and lying media succeed in their agenda, they will have people happily turning in their 2nd amendment.

So you're saying now is the time I should sell my AR for way more than I paid for it....
