I just read the text of House Bill H.R.5087.  If this monstrosity becomes law, the anti freedom, anti gun socialists will have made a gigantic leap forward in their agenda.  And remember you can't depend on the Republicans or Trump to kill it.  Both have shown they will cave.  The bill pretty much bans AR15's and many similar guns.  The bill contains a very long list of what is banned.  What makes the bill even more onerous is that it lists what we are allowed to own.  Now if you read the bill it seems like a long list of what we are allowed to own.  But look at it this way.  If you want to want something that is not on that approved list, whether it is a rifle, shotgun, or pistol, whether it is rim fire or center fire, whether it is semiautomatic, bolt action, pump action, lever action,or single shot, you will not be allowed to buy it.  And after the next shooting and there will be a next shooting no matter what laws are passed, I can hear them saying,"It wasn't enough.  We must register those semi automatics. We must know who has them."  And once they have that approved list, it will be a simple matter to drop guns off it a few at a time until we have almost nothing left.

So this bill makes it imperative for all gun owners to join GOA and/or NRA.  If we are going to beat this back, we must go on the offense!

Here is the link to the bill.

Jan, if it isn't too much for you, I would recommend buying two guns for him now.  I would get a single shot .22 rifle and a Ruger 10/22 semi automatic rifle.  When you feel he is ready give him the single shot.  When he proves himself with it, give him the 10/22.

The reason I say this is because part of the push now is to ban semi automatic rifles and pistols.  I don't think they can get that now but they will keep trying.  After the next shooting and there will be a next shooting no matter what laws they pass, who knows what they will be able to push through.

Just a side note here.  Semi automatic rifles have been around since 1885, semi automatic pistols since 1892.  So why have these mass shootings only become prominent in recent times?  Just ask yourself, what has changed in this country in the last 30 or 40 years?

Charles,

You are correct, eventually they will come for everything it is how they have done it in the UK.  They even just slid another gun law in place that no one knew was coming.

When they finished with the guns they have gone after the knives.

I do not want to see us join in the slip and slide down hill they want to do.

I am actually thinking of buying my 10 year old grandson his first rifle.  I wouldn't let him use it yet, he needs to get better with the BB's first.  I am afraid by the time I start buying what he can use I wont be able too :(

so what am I looking for this summer?

Listen folks, I think very few gun owners really realize how much jeopardy our Second Amendment rights are in right now.  The anti freedom, anti gun socialists are in full bore attack mode.  They realize they have a golden opportunity.  And I believe they will make big gains.  Some of the restrictions I see coming are raising the age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21, limiting magazine capacity to five rounds, requiring a background check for private sales, and anything else they can push through now.  I think they will try to ban AR15's and their clones but I don't think they can get that right now.  But after the next shooting, who knows?  And there will be a next shooting because guns are not the problem.  And we can't depend on Trump and the Republicans because both have shown they will cave.

It has been said that the best defense is a good offense.  People, we gun owners have got to go on offense  I think every gun owner who doesn't belong to one or the other of the NRA or Gun Owners of America (GOA) should be ashamed.  I belong to both.  It only costs $20 dollars a year to join GOA and they take a lot of the work out of writing and emailing congress and the president.

Don't think just because they are not going after your favorite gun now that they won't go after it in the future. The socialist ultimate goal is the elimination of guns in private hands.  They know they can't accomplish that all at once.  They are incrementalists.  They take whatever they can get whenever they can get it.  They are in it for the long haul.  They also never waste a good crisis.  They have no problem with taking a horrific event and using it for political purposes.

I posted something just three posts down but I am going to repeat it here because it is so important

"The population of the US in 2016 was 323 million.  In 2013 Pew Research conducted a poll.  In that poll 37% of Americans said they or someone in their household owned a gun.  Just taking 33% or 1/3 of only 300 million, that would make at least 100 million gun owners in this country.  If we could get just 20% or one out of five of them to join GOA, as close as elections are now in this country, we could control every election.  Just think what we could do with a voting block of 20 million voters!  With only five million members, the NRA is considered the strongest lobbying group in Washington."

I know by now most of you in this group have heard that Remington filed bankruptcy this week.

Well this article sure has some good news

(Reuters) - U.S. gunmaker Remington Outdoor Co has obtained commitments for nearly $300 million from its existing lenders, including some of the biggest U.S. banks, after new sources of funding dried up in the months leading up to its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. U.S. banks provide rescue financing for gunmaker Remington

If you are a gun owner it is important to belong to the NRA.  But I think it is even more important to belong to GOA (Gun Owners of America).  Per their own literature the GOA is the only no compromise gun lobby in Washington.  The anti gun people fear them more than the NRA.  They are very proactive.  They will send you postcards already written and addressed to congressmen and even the president.  All you have to do is sign and stamp them and mail them.  They will even send emails to the same people for you.  You can become a member for as little as $20 a year.

The population of the US in 2016 was 323 million.  In 2013 Pew Research conducted a poll.  In that poll 37% of Americans said they or someone in their household owned a gun.  Just taking 33% or 1/3 of only 300 million, that would make at least 100 million gun owners in this country.  If we could get just 20% or one out of five of them to join GOA, as close as elections are now in this country, we could control every election.  Just think what we could do with a voting block of 20 million voters!  With only five million members, the NRA is considered the strongest lobbying group in Washington.

So if you own a gun or even think you will want to own one someday, please join GOA!
