Yet Another Gun Thread

Then I gave up compromising.
The G19 isn't so big that the average hairy American winning machine can't carry it 99% of the time. I wear cargo shorts or jeans almost exclusively when I'm not in uniform, and any collared shirt covers it up. I print like crazy and don't care because I've discovered that there's no such thing as printing... it's something every beginning "carrier" gets told about and worries over, but I honestly don't think it exists.
There is a lot to be said for the various single-stack 9mm's with regards to size.... but with significantly less ammo, significantly more recoil, reduced grip, and a few other things, they're just not enough smaller that you shouldn't sack up and carry a G19. There are a hundred or more holster options that'll let the gun disappear wherever your preferred carry location is... one of them will be perfect for you. I'm a 3-4 o'clock kinda guy. I'm currently using the most basic nylon IWB holster with a standard metal "over the belt" type of clip. I wish the gun sat a little higher, but the next time I run across a guy with a mean sewing machine, I'm gonna fix that.

I have had my trusty Bushmaster for about 3-4 years now. It has been a great rifle for me to enjoy these past few years. At this time I am considering buying a house. With the current crazyness going on, I am very tempted to put it up for sale. I am not overly worried about another AWB passing any time soon, so getting rid of it is not to big of a concern to me. Honestly I have not fired it in over a year, so I would hardly know it is gone.
I have not started researching yet what they are going for. Lets say I have my rifle, a case, 4-6 30 round magazines a few being pmags and a few hundred rounds of ammo, and a 22LR conversion. Is it possible that I could sell it all for $1500-2000?

Bet Pusha's wishing he hadn't destroyed so many pmags his dad bought him..

Good call. I carried a PF9 for a year and thought it was the greatest... but I hated actually shooting it and only 99% trusted it. It was always too small for my hands and I just told myself that the comfort it allowed for thousands of days of carry would be worth the drawbacks the one time I might actually have to use it.
Then I gave up compromising.

I won't get rid of all of my pistols, but the rest will be range toys.
Thank you for your advice and your service to our country.

I looked into them myself and it doesn't seem that many people have anything good to say about them. I actually found a 6.8 SPC II upper in stock at PSA for about the same price. Now I just need to find a bolt.

That article read like a 2nd grader wrote it. Not only are we dealing with the possibility of laws being past, but also with the UN Arms treaty. The biggest provision of this that will affect us is the fact that we would have to register every gun we own in a national registry. The US was the only country to reject this, because the Campaigner and Chief was working on reelection. Now that he has been, he said he wants back in it now. He has also said on multiple occasions that he wants more gun legislation as recently as Sunday and prior to the shooting.
Like I have said before, I see absolutely no reason a capacity ban won't happen. I don't think a weapons ban will.
