Are you prepared?
« on: February 26, 2009, 05:28:22 PM »
How many years have you been a firearms owner in the USA?

If President Obama, thru exec order, banned the manufacture, importation, sale and private transfer of firearms at close of business today, would your current private collection be adequate for your personal and household needs?

If not, why not?

If the "sale and private transfer" provisions were lifted for 24 hours, what would you add to your collection?

You would probably get more views up in the pot bellied stove.

As to your question, Yes and no.  I certainly have enough ammo and guns for a little practice and what actual shooting I would have to do for many years, but I would not be happy with my current stock.  For instance, I would like to own  .410 and 28 gauge sxs shotguns and do not currently have them.  I would like to own a 1911, a .357, .44mag and a nice full stock 7x57 Mauser.  None of which I currently have.  I would like to at least double my ammo stockpile to allow mw to shoot more in years to come. 

Now, if he actually did that, I believe certain events would occur that would make me wish for much more than I have and more training with them.  No that is not a thinly veiled threat, I just think the country would go crazy. 

 What would I buy, probably nothing as a bulk pack of federal 22 would be 500 bucks and 1000 by the 23rd hour.

If I continue to shoot at the rate I have been the last 2-3 years I have about ten life times worth or more but then if I'd get the heck out and shoot it could be shot up in no time.
