Gun-control drive to get first votes in Congress - Yahoo! News

I'm cautiously optimistic after reading this article. Seems most folks, even Dems, are more concerned about mental health and secure schools.

Time to quit panic buying folks...

Thanks for posting.

I am SO ready for prices, especially ammo to come back down. I'm not paying $35 for a box of .45acp

dont let your guard down just yet, there's always a chance that they'll stick these things in as riders to other, must have bills. But this is what I've been saying all along, nothing drastic is going to happen. I have bought stuff during this panic but I've managed to only pay pre-panic prices and the items were ones I had budgeted to buy prior to the panic anyway.

 

[SmokinSigs357]

Yup. Things need to settle down a bit more.



But don't lose on your chance to buy one of two FiveseveN pistols in the classifieds for $2THOUSAND!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^one guy's 50'th post is one of 'em^^^^^^^^^

Gun control efforts hit Senate snag

Disagreement over details of how universal background checks track firearm purchases in the United States has halted momentum on further legislation, dimming -- for now -- prospects that Congress will pass major new gun laws in the wake of the Newtown shootings.
Senate Democrats negotiating a bill to require all gun buyers to get a background check have abandoned discussions with GOP Sen. Tom Coburn, leaving the legislation -- at least for now -- without backing from a pro-gun Republican.
That means a key Senate committee will start discussing and voting on gun laws Thursday morning without a workable, bipartisan version of what's become the centerpiece of President Barack Obama's proposed package of new gun laws.

LOL. Rather than a picture of the 5.7, I would prefer to see a picture of the bandit selling the item. I'd run a check against known miscreants.

I saw that, too! Looks like he did what he could to get to 50 and then thought he was on Armslist.com. I did look at other pics, he stocked up and is hoping to cash in. Sorry, I had to go a little bit off-topic there. I'm really trying to reach my goal of 850 posts.

We can never let our guard down. The fact that they had the vote like this means the faith we put in the people we vote to protect our rights is always on thin ice. At a moment's notice any one of the guys we put in office can turn on us and misrepresent us. We have to stay united against the people who seek to disarm us for "the greater good"

Could be worse- we could live in a nightmare state like CA or NY.

agreed, thats s**t is crazy. about 2 months befor the sandy hook incident i bout 3 100rd wwb .45 for 100$. Now its 50 a peice. Im no economists but if people would stop buying at insane prices the principal of supply and demand would kick in and prices would not be like this.

Don't be optimistic until AFTER it's defeated. Drop an email to your Senators TODAY!

So whats the peoples excuse that have 300 posts and are trying to sell 500rd 22lr for $60+ and 100rd 40 S&W for $50. Seams like one guy puts it out there in case there is an ingoer that cant find any. Then every one in the classifieds thinks thats the going rate. I have thought about grabbing up what my walmart has that I cant use 9mm,380,.243, 30-06 and posting them for cost in the classifieds but I would prolly end up getting stuck with it. Sorry

Someone please explain to me how they're going to make straw purchases illegal when they're already illegal? Now, if they're going to make it mandatory (somehow) that these cases are prosecuted....

AND


If Boxer is for more school "security" something has to be wrong with it.

Or $50-60 for a bulk pack of .22.

I just wanna shoot dang it!

Did anyone else read through all the garbage and notice that they reported that the 20 children each was shot 3 to 11 times + 3 adults were shot (didn't say how many times). The reporting indicates that all the killing was committed using the AR rifle.
That means there was a MINIMUM of 64 shots and possibly up to 200. As I have never heard of a 60 round AR Magazine (and there was no mention of a Drum mag) that means the insane killer changed clips at least 4 times without being stopped if using standard 20 round AR clips! If the clips were 10 round, he would only have had to change 3 or 4 more!

I buy my handgun ammo at walmart, and its went up ONE dollar... I dont understand all these posts about ammo going up.. If the price went up, the person selling it, is a crook.

60 and even 100 round MAGS were readily available until this shooting started the buying craze.

I already passed on two new ones at two local gun stores for $1200. I am waiting for the new MK2 coming out this year if I get one. I will also see ammo become readily available before I buy one. No use buying one I can't shoot.

I saw the two Five-seveNs on our sale forum, so I checked gunbroker and you would be surprised what people are actually paying for them. It is beyond nuts!
