Yup, I definitely ain't buying no more guns.....

Well until the next time that is. My gun fund is at a healthy level at the moment so who knows what the heck I might do.

I'm with you on that. No more guns for me. Sold most of the ones i did have.

Say What no guns?

I'm trying not to buy anymore. I've sold off about 1/2 of what I've had. Spending money on scopes and upgrades now.

No more for me either, I had to sell all of mine after the obamination took office, eating is a hard habit to break. I did manage to keep my red ryder though. POWDERMAN.

i have all the guns i need and then some. ive sold off a bunch.id prob be better off with maybe 10 guns that i like to use for my hunting but i dont see that happening.all i hunt is deer, varmints and small game so a good 6.5x55 bolt and a 223 bolt or auto and a 22 rifle would be fine.throw in a couple shotguns for rabbits and self defense and a few hand guns for the same.i hang on to a lot of guns because i have so little in them i really cant justify getting rid of them.
and then there are guns that seem to increase in value every year.i keep them just as a investment.

Unless someone is planning on giving me some, I don't have much choice but to buy them myself.

Have been concentrating on ammo and components for some time now. Just to be safe.

I haven't bought any guns in quite some time. I did make a couple of trades though, and sold off all I don't use.

I'm still looking for a couple of rifles on my Bucket List of Guns. If I get them; I'll be happy! And done! For now! Maybe!

mcbammer · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2012, 01:32:00 PM »

I just want one more & thats all for me.

I probably got one too many, but I can't figure out which one it is.

Got the guns I need. Now buying ammo for the upcoming Obama Depression/Revolution. The welfare parasites will riot when the gubmint cant pay for the freebies and the dollar is only rag paper.

If ya know how many guns ya have, then ya don't have enough.

Right now I am working on a list of what I "think" my grandsons should have. That means 2 similar of everything: 2 lever 30-30's, 2 Mark II's, 2 muzzle loaders, and on.

I did come up with a new used Chipmunk at Gander of all places. Since they are only 3 and 4 1/2, there is still time to wait for them to get mature enough to start out. I want to take them hunting when they are ready, if I am still able. That is 10 years in the future for big game in Colorado, so I will be 74 and the other grandpa will be 79. May not happpen. Small game is a different story given that we live in such a metropolis.

There is something to be said for having one gun in a useful caliber (30-06 comes to mind) that you are extremely used to.

I will take the 5th. on that just to be on the safe side. Jim

oldandslow · « **Reply #19 on:** August 20, 2012, 03:26:57 AM »

I avoid making statements that I don't think I can live up to.

Right now I'm upgrading some of the guns I already have but who knows, maybe I'll see a "need" for something new later on.

Sensai · « **Reply #20 on:** August 20, 2012, 04:31:17 AM »

Well, there's just one more that I absolutly have to have. My problem is that I don't know which one it is until I've tried them all!

mrcooper · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2012, 05:06:52 AM »

I'm proud of my self been 2 days now and i still aint bought anything, am going to wait till after Nov elections, if obummer gets kicked out ( and that aint likely ) then I'll buy me one more gun to celebrate.

You might better make your purchase before the election . Just to be on the safe side.

When I turned 18, I though you only needed 3 long guns. A big game rifle, preferably a 3006, a 12 gauge shotgun, and a 22 rifle. Started with a 12 gauge Mossburg pump, a Marlin model 60, and a 3006 bolt gun. Then things changed, there were old military guns, upgraded shotguns and rifles, and upgraged 22 rifles, then handguns. It would be hard to go back to just a handful, but it could be done. The above original 3 could put meat on the table, of any size and kind.

My son and I have pretty much weeded out our collection. Each firearm we kept has a specific purpose and all get used. Got rid of investment guns and those too fancy to carry in the woods. We plan on just adding barrels to my son's Contender pistol and to our Encore rifles. However they are all imaginary as we don't own any guns any more.

DickelDawg · « **Reply #29 on:** August 20, 2012, 12:40:41 PM »

I'm with ya'll! No more guns for me!!! All mine were either stolen or I sold them.
'bout all I've got left is a slingshot. Gosh, hope Obummer doesn't come after that!
