We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Maybe I should buy that AK that I want? I really don't want to spend $600 on one since they used to cost six times less, but if Obama actually is going to go through with this ban, I guess I'll have no choice but to go out and buy one.

"As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.
Don't worry, it's "just a few" changes.....you don't need these anyway.
Gun show loop hole....right....
Aren't ALL bullets potential cop killers?

Obama has said that he believes in "common-sense gun legislation", but we all know that common-sense is not that common.

Like other states Virginia needs to pass some legislation reaffirming our constitutional rights. This is a direct assault on the 2nd amendment. They where easily able to push through a stimulus package that 90% of the people didn't want. It will be just as easy for them to pass a new AWB. I think fighting this on a state level and then actually doing something about it is our best hope.

Where the hell can you find one for $600? All i've seen recently is $800+, even for Romanians which used to be around $400 back in summer. In summer when there was still hope of no obomination, the were around $400/$600/$700 for Romanian/Yugoslavian/Bulgarian respectively, at least up here in NOVA. Now its more like $800/$1000/$1200 from what i've seen

There's a little store next to JMU that has them for $566. I might buy one before I go home for spring break next week. I just bought a Kimber 1911 last week though, so I really shouldn't be spending any more right now.

"Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border. "I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."
OMG!!
So it appears this is not all about the crime in the US but rather guns making it to Mexico!! So US citizens should be restricted access in order to help out another countries problem.
So the price goes up on the existing guns and the drug cartels having plenty of cash are the only people that can afford them. :?
Now if we are going to help stop guns from illegally going South are they going to help stop people from illegally coming North? :lol:

Classic Arms in NC has them for $500... for the time being. Lots of AKM and WASR on-hand, at least for now.

Thank god that our heroes, the SCOTUS, didn't include any language in the Heller decision asserting that it "cannot" protect "sophisticated" weapons, referring specifically to the M-16 rifle or standard issue weapon for the infantryman of our own armed forces. :quirky
At the time I thought the implication was the AR-15s were protected but M-16s weren't. However I myself have argued that making the gun full-auto is not a matter of "sophistication". And then I realized that nowhere does Heller actually say it's talking about the M-16 and not AR-15s.
Face it, Holder's right. Heller won't be of any help. We'll need a new decision. And good luck with that, from our statist SCOTUS.

What we need is to cast off this tyranny and either go back to the drawing board or go our separate ways.
Then, when some foreign nation invades the unarmed liberal scumbag country we can either save them or simply point and laugh.
I refuse to be disarmed and I will exercise my Constitutional rights against any effort to infringe on them. Illegal laws have no standing.

look at it this way as well: If they wanted to pass a new AWB as a rider, they would have done so with the Stimulis.
The fact they didn't means, 1) isn't on the radar this year 2) isn't popular enough to pass at all.
at least i hope
