Yea Tsing said the same thing on PM.. I will take your advice and try to test one out before I buy. Thing is, they are going to vote on some sort of gun control before the end of the month and the reps are literally just pushovers so I doubt they will vote against this with the school massacre fresh in everyone's mind.

Amen, me 2.
[1] Pump action shotgun is slightly more reliable over a long period [2] semi auto, which is what i have is much better. than .223 Much better bang for the buck!![Meaning diamater of bullet is ONLY .223 of an inch.]
==================================
Also 12 guage is much better killer/man stopper than a .223 caliber;
much ,,much better.Please practice with ear muffs
====================================
Alsoa high powered rifle like 7.62 is probably going to go thru a crook;
damage your neighbor.Get a shot gun.;because with a .223 you spend more ,,get less.Guns last a lifetime or several lLIFE times usually; a good gun store will let you shoot it out back or stand behind it./fix it
FFL dealer orders for you, small fee is tacked on ,,ask your local gunstore Thats wisdom.
You couldn't GIVE me an AR15 type rifle-if you did I would trade it off for another M1A or M1 Garand.
I have owned several AR's in the past but then I took a look at my requirements and decided to dump the platform. I live in an area with many open fields and woodlots. I could perceive the need for shots of up to 1000 yards and shooting into heavily wooded areas.
Any gun you buy right now will be overpriced and good luck finding ammunition at a reasonable price.

What self respecting redneck would pass on an opportunity to comment on guns
Guns are like fishin poles and golf clubs â no one does it all
=========================================
For home protection â a good ole revolver in 357 cal., using hollow points â money
Itâs the Polaroid camera of guns â simply point and shoot
Good ARâs (no certain order)
Colt
Bushmaster
DPMS
Armalite
Rock River
You can buy most of the parts online (shipped directly to you) to build an AR â you cannot buy the lower directly â it must go to an FFL
ARs are the legos of guns â you can leave it bare, or trick it out as much as you like (night vision is a blast)
Little light reading about all things fun

Shot gun w/ 00 buck or even BB
Will tear a man in half
Will blow a hole through sheet rock
Will tear hell out of hadite block
Will tear a car (metal/ shatter proof glass) to peices
Use birdshot for home defense â especially if you do not want it traveling into the adjacent room(s)
AKâs
Too many cheap models on the market... and real easy to buy a crap gun â till you have some experience â wouldn't suggest buying one
And the cheap ones are not even close to accurate
However â get a good one â you can drag it through the dirt / mud / water/ hell â and itâll still fire without fail

Quote from PiggyBank:
So since this Sandy Hook episode I've felt an urge to arm myself.. not because I feel threatened but because we all know some type of bs ban is going to be attempted. I wanted to do the same thing after the batman shooting but put it off. I've sorta always wanted a gun but I don't have any firearms training and I've only ever shot some pos .38 pistol, and only a few rounds at that.
I've done some research and I want an AR-15. I have NO experience whatsoever with a rifle, none, zip, zero. I've never even held one. In my state the laws currently aren't too strict and AR-15's are allowed, along with 30 round mags etc.
Anyway, most of the vendors online seem completely sold out of finished rifles, and I've been to two gun stores near me and they are both sold out. My questions are:
1) should I buy one used, (assuming I can find one)?
2) In your opinion who are the best parts makers? I've was reading threads on ar15.com and other forums, seems like Bravo Company, Palmetto State Arms, Noveske, Daniel Defense all have good reviews. I was looking at buying a complete BCM rifle but they sold out really fast lol.
3) Should I buy a complete rifle or purchase the parts separately and assemble myself?
4) My understanding is only the stripped lower receiver counts as a firearm in the eyes of the law as it carries the serial num.. if I just buy a receiver or two now, will I be able to get parts for it after a ban (if it is the same as the clinton ban)?
5) The law seems to be if you order online, that you must have it shipped to an FFL, is that correct, and if so how does that work?
With no experience you should not even be considering making a purchase on-line, or on your own. If you don't know someone with expereince, go to your local gun range and get some instruction. See a reputable dealer. Forget the gun shows for now. You don't know enough to know how bad you're getting hosed. A reputable dealer will get you the hook up you need. Be patient. Semi-auto's aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Any change coming will take months, if at all.
