Not to make this a /pol/ thread I just want sound advice from fellow /k/ anons, should I buy a third AR? Youngkins vetoing of assault weapon bans in Virginia is over since its a sure shot that Spanberger is going to win and she has been very vocal about getting a ban passed. I wanted to wait to get a third one (going the warlord route of getting 5 max to pass out to unarmed buddies in case of mass unrest) but Spanberger is going to throw a wrench in that plan with the high likelihood of Virginia getting cucked like Washington did. So should I just wait like I wanted and buy out of state when I am ready? Or be a consoomer retard and give PSA $500 now for a spare rifle that will live in a safe and occasionally shot by buddies
if you want it you should buy it
>>64474919EhhhWould I think. I’ve been hagmaxxing lately, as kids today say.
>>64474924You know, thats valid reasoning.
Do whatever but most importantly vote in local elections for anyone opposing this, go to meetings, call your reps, anyone of concern. Do the most you can do.
>>64474919I’d wait and see. It’s not an absolute guarantee that she’ll win, nor is it an absolute guarantee that an AWB will be on the docket first legislative session of the year. If you’re already set on moving regardless, save the money. Put it towards getting the hell out of there. If you want to stay, and have time between now and the enforcement of a potential ban, then use that time to save money and buy a decent AR.
>>64474919I'd say ARs specifically are a low concern because it seems like even the left wing judges won't defend AR bans under the common use standard. Both Kagan and Sotomayor have said ARs are common use in decisions and a NJ state judge found ARs are in common use. it seems like they plan on going after "accessories" or "features" and not ARs
>>64475326>nor is it an absolute guarantee that an AWB will be on the docket first legislative session of the year. AWBs are the only explicit policy goal all Democrats agree on.
>>64475346Just speaking from my own experience as a Coloradan. There wasn’t any serious effort directed towards AWBs in my state for a decade after the first magazine ban despite the dems having the majority. Not saying it’s not a priority of theirs, I just don’t know how important it is to Virginia dems. Killing infants en masse was their rallying cry back in ‘21. Don’t quite know where their priorities lie now.
>>64475326>>64475339>>64475346Well nigga if you don't do anything they will. Call your reps and shit. Go out and vote.
>>64475391I do vote
If it were me I'd buy a jig and a stack of 80% lowers. Especially in VA, you will always have an easy time getting parts from neighboring states. I haven't filled out a 4473 for any firearm I own because living in CA in the 90s-early 00s made me paranoid. 80% builds now vs 20 years ago are stupidly easy and are being overtaken by 3d printing. Shit, maybe getting a printer would be an even better safeguard.
>>64474919if you are white and conservative then the answer is obviously yes. if you are a tranny or leftist then you belong in prison
>>64474919>thirdyeah why not. i've got almost a dozen lowers that over time with sales built various rifles out of them. t. california
>>64474919spanbergers own running mate said he wanted to shoot his opponent and their children, and these same bitches want to ban my fucking freedom guns. Why are demosharts so utterly evil and cringe bros?
>>64475377as a virginian im pretty sure the only thing dems care about is putting men in women's bathrooms and something something protect the public school establishment at all costs
>>64475658>protect the public school establishment at all costsIts how they generate new voters.
>>64474919Can you not just buy a PSA lower or two instead? They're hardly gonna ban the rest of the parts, are they?
>>64475784california is changing it so you can't buy barrels without a face to face transaction. idk how they are going to do it but that's what they said,.
>>64475788Banifornian here. It'll be like ammo where you need to have the barrel sent to an FFL for a background check/transfer, just like a firearm, complete with mandatory fees, paperwork, and so forth. Shit sucks.
>>64475788>>64475790can't you just buy barrels out of state like ammo?
>>64474919Is she single?
>>64474919I moved to WV last year. It’s a fucking travesty what is happening to Virginia. Dems will ruin VA.
>>64475793Sure, you can go to Nevada, buy them, and bring them across the border... If you avoid the roving undercover DOJ patrols. More than one person has been caught buying banned shit in NV because DOJ set up in the gun show parking lot, scoping out dudes with CA plates loading stuff into their trunks.
>>64475802I've heard of them doing that in PA but I don't think they could do shit over someone buying ammo
>>64475790big gay. i bought a bunch of random ar uppers and glock barrels over the years so I won't really need to outside of something really crazy but still bullshit. Again you went from being able to build an AR15 from PSA for 500 bucks to now spending god knows how much getting a compliant one and paying extra for the upper. what a shithole.
>>64475804DOJ has done it and will keep doing it because CA judges keep convicting people over it. It's a giant unconstitutional waste of tax dollars but they do it regularly.
>>64475849They're trying to force you to buy off the shelf compliant guns at 1k a pop, then do no mods at all to them without a licensed gunsmith. Beat the idea that the average owner can do their own customizing and/or repairs out of them with legal bullshit until guns are spooky black boxes that require an FFL to do anything to them other than field stripping/cleaning.
>>64475875i built all of mine a decade ago at home, i even bought a kydex press and made my own fins. It was fun. I probably neutered a couple dozen ebil ar15s when they cracked down on the bullet button for friends. its like with cars i'm sure at some point it will be illegal to change your own oil in california to save some little shit bird or fish as the excuse.
You could've ordered a 5 pack of stripped lowers in the time it took to make this post.
>>64475886I mean they just banned new sales of anything vehicular in CA except electric cars starting in like 2030. So yeah, they're already doing it.
>>64474927Unc status fr
>>64475898i volunteer at an after high school youth fitness program thing and all the 16-17 year olds are actually depressed that there aren't any used cars they can afford to buy and cruise around in. My own son is about to be 14 and I've got a project car we are going to work on but there isn't a guarantee it will pass smog or we will be allowed to drive it. a genuine life sucking shithole if I could get out I would but we've got generations living on the same street in our little town. maybe that big one happens and dumps have the state into the ocean that's my own hope at this point. and watching other states get flooded by our retards and catch our same cancer is even more depressing. thank you for listening to my ted talk.
>>64475894Link, big man.
>>64474919If your buddies don't have ARs get new buddies. You want to pass out guns to untrained retards in your end of the world larp? I hope you stockpiled rations and they shoot you for them
>>64475798it hasnt been THAT bad. We just got private parking lot gun sales back.
>>64475668>educated people vote Demnot the own you think it is to dumb down retarded voters so they vote R
>>64476371>public schools>educated
>>64474919Pay with cash, never tell anyone you have them until you need to use them.
