Because of these crap Massachusetts laws, I bought at least 6 unplanned new handguns (Sig's, HK's). I'm glad because I couldn't buy a Glock or HK now. That's 6 more guns on the street because of a law trying to get ris of them. These AG's aren't very smart.

How many of you had similar reactions???

I never buy guns when I know they have been decided by our most compasionate and concerned government to be too deadly for Joe Q. Public to use.

After all, I'm far too stupid for my own good. It takes a council of overly good intentioned intellectuals to keep me safe from myself!

No stocking up here, but then again, there's no need for me to anyway (Which of my favorite children do I take to the range today?).
 
Why should I stock up on guns?????

Aren't they just stupid little death machines???

If Ted Kennedy said I shouldn't have one.....I mean.....who can argue with that???

But yes, I buy the very guns those idiots try and outlaw. :mad:

I dont own any guns, so I guess I dont have a "need" to stock up on anything.

I am not stocking up, I am making sound financial investments. The more rules they make the more my toys, er I ment investments are worth. What other investment can you take out and play with and sell later for more than you paid for it. Harleys are this way, the good ones are at least.
 
Ducky you can sell mail order brides for more than you paid and after you played with them, IF you've got them well trained. I swear, I seen it on TV. :D

I'm in the western re=education camp, tell me again why you cant buy hk and glocks in NY OR was that MASS?

I lost all my guns in a canoeing accident, dang I dont know if I will be able to afford any more.

Mr. Blonde,

I am in the western part of the state and I have made a few unplanned purchases because of what AG Reilly has done. I am a bit lucky since my local gun dealer is small but has some good connections and has managed to get some good deals on used but high-quality handguns.

I am lucky in another respect also. One other less apparent aspect of the new laws is that I, as a serving military member, am classified the same as an LEO and can purchase handguns which are otherwise restricted to civilians.

But rather than celebrate my luck, I am still trying to do what i can to help change the laws. But i fear that it is a worse uphill fight than we faced in 1775 at Concord.

FPrice, correct me if i'm wrong but I am under the assumption that even LEO's can't buy certain new Glocks, HK's & others unless it is for duty use. They need an official letter of release from the LEO's commanding officer. Now THAT's pretty ridiculous.

Situation..... I'm a new LEO with no prior CCL, therefor I have no personal firearms. My department requires that I turn in my piece after duty is complete rendering me unarmed (firearm at least) during personal time. Because of this new Mass law, I can't go out and buy the same department issued Glock 19 for personal carry. I am new to firearms and I'm very used to my Dept issued Glock 19.

I stop for dinner on the way home from fighting crime and some hood walks in and holds up the place shooting customers at random, this person does not care who dies.

Well, because of Mass law, I don't have a personal firearm and people die because of it.

I know I'm going a little too far (way too far) because there are plenty of guns out there that the "example LEO" could purchase, including a pre-1998 Glock 19 (if someone is willing to sell because I haven't seen any lately, I know I would NEVER sell mine because of these new laws). I'm just using the Glock as an example because it is a widely known department issued firearm.

oberkommando, it's Mass.... We can't buy new firearms manufactured after a 1998 date unless it has a "hidden" serial number and a 10lb trigger pull.

There is a funny parody regarding all of this. Go to FSGUNS.COM. Go to where Carl has his Acura for sale, there are some amusing remarks.

Mr. Blonde,

I wonder if you were aware of the 4 USP's that Carl (@ Four Seasons) had last week? (They are all sold now, gone :( )

I beleive he had a USP40compact which was NIB, and he was selling it for $875 was he not?

I purchased my first USP, a 45 compact, in November of 1998. I paid $475 for it @ Four Seasons, NIB.

Because of AG's Reilly and Harshbarger, USP's have nearly doubled in price.

I wish we could get a class action lawsuit going against these f'ers. :mad:

We may tolerate the abridgement of property rights and the elimination of a right to bear arms; but we should not pretend that these are not reductions of rights." -- Justice Scalia 1998
 
This might sound controversial, but, I think that buying a gun just because it is going to be outlawed can be a mistake. I think that the most important consideration should be whether or not a weapon meets your current and future needs.

I think that there are too many people out there who are wasting money buying guns that they don't like or that don't meet their needs. Just because some idiot lawmaker changes a law doesn't mean that you should act like some kind of wild eyed hoarder paying inflated prices to dealers for guns you probably will never use.

Buy what you like and what you will use regardless of the law. Save your money for training, parts and ammunition.

I don't mean to be critical of any poster here. I just know that my biggest gun purchase mistakes have been when I became a wild-eyed hoarder. :)

Mr. Pub: You've hit me right on the head with that one. But, I've grown to LOVE my POS guns that I bought due to their "evilness" in the media and the anti's. It's kinda like a slap in the face of the facist. I bought, believe it or not, a Tec-9 variate (AB-10 that takes tec-9 hi-cap mags) and a Hi-point 9mm carbine. Surprisingly, I love to shoot both. Why, have you ever fired off 36 to 50 rds of 9mm in a non-auto pistol? It's a waste of money and ammo but it's my money and ammo I'm wasting. The carbine has a bit of a kick but believe it or not, it is accurate. Hell, the only things I dislike about it are the mag release (soon to be modified by yours truly) and the fact that only 10rd mags are available for it.. but I like to work with metals and machines so that may or may not change depending on if I get off my butt or not. I even bought a few cheap handguns to go with my collection/ accumalation of handguns. I do own (G-d forbide) a jennings .22, a raven .25acp, a burgo (don't ask, it was one of the first cheap guns on the market) .22, and a Bryco(sp) .380. Why, because I can or could at the time. It was a matter of freedom of choice for me at the time. I also own two USP 45's, an SKS that is "decked out", a GP-100 5.5in .357 as well as a SP101 .357. A Buckmark .22 target, as well as a couple of Tauras, Beretta's, etc.. to boot. Now, don't get me wrong, I would have loved (if I had the money) to buy an AR-15 (before the laws), as many hi-caps as I could afford for guns that I don't even own... yet, a "street sweeper" .12 gauge, an AK-47 with all the "goods", a couple of 20mm cannons... ooops, that was outlawed the year I was born, as well as others that have been "outlawed" or non-cost effective to try to obtain. The only "drawback" that I can figure is that I can never live in kalifornia, NY, D.C. or many other crime infeasted areas.. oh well.

"That's 6 more guns on the street because of a law trying to get ris of them."

Do you keep your guns "on the street"?

Perhaps we need to visit Alan Korwin's www.gunlaws.com and read his little piece on winning back the language.

C'mon Rick, this is a message board not a PC debate. You know what I mean, don't post here if you are going to be negative......

USP: congratulations, if you love the guns you bought - then you obviously didn't waste your money.

I can't say the same for some of the things that I bought, used a few times, then sold at a loss. I won't do that again, even if they are outlawing it.
 
Mr Pub, don't you hate that. I never bought anything I didn't want because I love all firearms except for SNSpecials. These laws forced me (yes, forced) to go out and get all the firearms I planned on getting in the future anyway.

I'm glad the firearm industry doesn't update products as frequently as the electronics/computer industry.

When AG Reilly passed his gun-ban -- er -- "safety rules" in April, outlawing as "unsafe" all new handguns, the market for used handguns exploded. In talking with gun shop owners I've learned that handgun sales tripled after the new law, putting extra tens of thousands of handguns into the hands of gun owners who were afraid that they might not be able to buy any in the future.
Gun stores cannot now keep used handguns in stock.

Mr. Reilly single-handedly vastly increased the number of "evil handguns" in public hands. Typical moron Liberal.
