The current and near future of gun rights, and what to do

[Poweredbythesun]

Simply put: How bad do you think things will get in terms of gun control in the U.S.A.?

I only ask this because I've seen no mention on the forums of all the new proposed legislation to limit and outright destroy the 2nd Amendment, and because I've had a great many coincidences related to guns and such happen lately. (An example being parts and weapons I'm looking for blatantly manifesting despite being out of stock or on back order for months).


I know I will be protected, and I've learned to follow my 'gut'. But the direction things are going is worrying to say the least. Doubly so since I was working on becoming a gunsmith before Biden was 'elected'.


This is more so a post directed at HP Zevios Metathronos, and anyone knowledgeable on things related to the practicality of worse than Californian gun laws being enforced.

I personally see them passing their disgusting laws, but not being able to enforce them. Either sparking a 2nd revolutionary war, or a breakdown in current power, as the power of the States over rule the power of the Federal Government (restoring State rights).


Please let me know what you all think, also, it is good to be back after months of inactivity

*bump* Anyone else have any remarks on this topic?

Any attempts to limit or control or even seize our weapons will be VERY public, VERY quickly, at least regarding the people who will be affected by it.

That's my take on it. They'll keep trying to steal them, but not sure how far they'll get.

They need to get rid of gun rights are at least greatly limit them in order to work a communist revolution because they know the majority will try to fight back.

So they are going to eventually try to do that probably sooner than later. However in America at least I don't think that is going to work out very well. They need the slow over decades approach if they wanted to do this and that might actually work out and not be fought back against.

However they don't have that much time left so if they want to do this they will have to go for out in the open and quick approach. Which will create a huge backlash.

This is one thing I would not be worried about in the least too many people support the 2nd Amendment.

Get a full set up of reloading equipment and supplies now, so you could always make your own ammo when you need it. Be extremely careful, only use load recipes from actual reloading manuals like Lyman 50th Edition Reloading Handbook, or the Hornady 10th Edition Reloading Handbook. Don't copy a load that you see some guy talk about on the internet, because a lot of people do stupid and dangerous things. You do not need to go near the maximum safe pressure levels, you can have perfectly good results in the middle of the recommended range. Do not substitute a different powder because you think it is "close enough."


Buy all of the parts now that you think may not be available in the future. Whatever these may be. For any gun you own, you should have backup replacement parts. Especially parts that wear over time, or that may break. You should have multiple copies of these parts.

Done. Of the few things I've kept a handle on, this is probably my best maintained. Though I sorely wish I had more time to actually enjoy the fruits of a well stocked arsenal.
