Gun store craziness!

[Bad Chariot]

I have been shooting for 20 yrs now off/on. My best friend is a true collector and for YEARS has been worried about the law changes restricting what he likes to buy/collect.

He called me today. He went to 3 different gun shops this morning. He said all 3 of them had lines out the door. People were loading up on guns like armegeddon was happening. He called me SHOCKED how busy all 3 of them were. One of the shops is typically busy but never a line out the door.

Are you guys seeing the same thing in your state?

Yup, I swung by sportsman warehouse last night and there were al least 20 people buying guns at the checkout.

+1 went to a few places monday mid morning to see if people were going crazy, they were. Each place I went had people young and old, men and women buying guns. Women holding ar-15's for the first time with horrible mechanics. One gentlemen holding a glock 22 telling the guy behind the counter that he needed something with more ooummp then a 22 caliber. Another gentlemen telling a guy behind the counter just tell me what a police officer would buy and I will just buy it.

This whole gun ban scare seems to be causing chaos. lol

Which is retarded logic.

Why freak out and buy up guns if they are going to be confiscated?

My cousin just called me and said he was at a sproting goods store gun department where there were a bunch of low lifes trying to do straw purchases. The police should have been called i think.

They will use them.

They can only confiscate the ones they know you have. :shrug:

lol

 

[dwish]

I don't see how it would come down to mass confiscations.

 

[WireEater]

They will use them.

How many hands do they have?

I own over 30 guns but I'm pretty sure I'd only be able to shoot maybe 2 at a time.

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Martin O'Malley (D) Governor of Maryland, claims he wants to "rescue the future" by banning the sale of semi auto weapons in Maryland. This statement comes after the shootings in Connecticut. Thanks Mr. O'Malley but I fail to see how one man, the Governor of Maryland, can decide who the second amendment applies too and who it doesn't. Typical liberal democrat.

My family has more than we would ever need but that's beside the point.

We have a functional AR for every person in my house. I actually have two of my own now since my brother is gone.

I lol at the sheep that believe the sky is falling

 

[Juiced 66]

Everywhere down here is busy as hell.. I was in wal Mart
earlier looking for some .45 ammo, and two different people came in looking for AR's.. It's crazy.

Government isn't taking a damn thing from me.

Easier to pick up another loaded firearm than reloading.


However, hopefully it's all just a bunch of doom and gloom. I only have a few long guns and I'd like like to have an M1A but if shit hits the fan I have what I need to kill game to feed myself and my family. Although this could end up being a great time to buy potential "pre-ban" guns :shrug: I'm not too scared personally but mostly because I don't have enough money to buy a bunch of $1k firearms.

Ban =/= confiscation.

That's the redneck reload!

I LOLed.

 

[haz-matt]

Was in Dick's earlier today, couldnt get close to the gun counter and I saw 2 guys walking out the door with shotguns.

I am sure you have friends that are not as well armed that will need to be armed.
