Yup..  ALWAYS believe everything what someone on the internet tells you - if it agrees with what you already decided anyway......

Don' t tell a hunter what he needs to hunt.

It's none of your business.

Especially when you know nothing about.the subject.


Which I'm betting you don't.

Have you killed a deer? 20 deer? 100 deer?

Honestly - I lost count decades ago.

But I just finished dinner. Venison spaghetti. It was delicious.


And I don' t need your twink opinion of how I go about it.

And while they took a short term hit, they are not hurting now, and they've gotten lots of support for doing the right thing.

Virtue signaled! and you guys suck it all up like it is the real thing. The truth is thinly veiled here I am surprised no one hasn't called bS yet!

They pledged to destroy the firearm in accordance to federal guidelines which means all they need to is cut or smash the lower receiver.
rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/how-to-destroy-an-ar-15-629272/

THIS IS THE CHEAPEST PART OF THE GUN!!!


 then everything else goes to a recycler meaning they can destroy the cheapest part of the gun. (lower receiver) Which can be 3d printed FOR FREE, or one can buy partially assembled Lower out of a gun magazine or at a place like rual king (farmer version of walmart.) or even on line cheaper! for about 45.00 and then all of the other parts that where not destroyed! The parts super critical for sustained fire can now be assembled on a printed lower or one you sand and drill out yourself and have a working gun for under 350.00 WITH NO SERIAL NUMBERS LEGALLY!!!

What a bunch of superficial morons! YOU ARE POTENTIALLY MAKING A BIGGER PROBLEM trying to pretend you are better than other people/retailers!!

So here's the real deal. Dick's sporting goods bought their crap for way way too much money and could not sell their inventory. as they are generally 200 or 300 or more dollars on average retail than everyone else. So no of course the manufacturer will not take these guns back. 

So here's the plan! the break the cheapest part of the gun. virtue signal to the rest of you morons that your farts don't stink at dicks/buy your camping crap here, gain a 3.7% increase in virtual signaled douche bag sales

THEN sell the "parts kits for 1/2 of retail ( which probably represents their total investment of the lost ar 15 inventory, or the lion's share of it back) So win win for dicks!

 Then Someone like me know where to buy a brand new parts kit for an Ar for 300 bucks prints my own lower (the cheap part they where required to crush or cut) or better yet buys a 50 dollar unfinished all aluminum lower, meaning not subject to any fire arm restrictions as it is considered to be a block of metal at this point. 

I spend 10 hours drilling and polishing this block and assemble with new parts supplied by the recycler Dicks sold those 'broken Ar's ( Tee hee)  and I have an AR that I could very easily modified for full auto IF I knew what I was doing for less than 1/2 of what dick's would have charged me to buy the very same gun in semi auto. and because I made this lower my self it does not have to be registered in anyway in my state. nor the vast majority of the states.

Here are websites that show the particle receivers and the barrel kits:
https://palmettostatearmory.com/ar-15/rifle-kits.html
https://www.rkguns.com/catalogsearch/res...ower+ar+15

Again if you knew what you where doing you could buy the parts kits and have them legally mailed to you and for less than 1/3 the cost of what a assembled ar would cost at dick's you could have an untraceable gun. (for personal us of course..) In fact rual king for 50,00 is selling completed receivers (you can't mail them and the do have serial numbers, but you still can have a brand new ar-15 for 350 verses the 800 to 1200 that dicks was trying to get!!!

https://www.ammoland.com/2014/11/atf-ans...z61yu0GneE

If these guys at dicks were real in their intentions.. they would have donated these guns whole to the police departments. I do not know of any local city state department that would refuse a share of 5 million dollars worth of guns and ammo. Or do they not trust poilce with these guns either??? is their virtue so high that even police are not worthy???

That is the difference between virtue signaling and being virtuous...

According to the article, 'cut or smash' isn't good enough.  This section of the weapon must cut into 4 pieces with a cutting torch.  I'm not by any means a firearms expert, but it seems that subjecting the item to that much repeated heat would pretty well ruin it (at least as far as repair or rebuilding goes).

Could be wrong, though.

Dirch is spot on.

A "firearm" is the lower reciever block that has the serial numbers.

This is how they got around the Clinton AWB. They destroyed the reciever and brought all other parts into the US - then reassembled with just enough American made parts to be legal.  CAI did a shitload of FN-FALs and CETMEs this way.

I would not be surprised to see some "parts kits" coming onto the market.

I am astonished at the lucidity of drich's post, above- well, compared to the religious stuff, anyway. Must be channeling someone.

Nice to know the incessant name-calling is still in place, though.  Wouldn't seem like Drich without it.

Btw - my using "Dirch" vs Drich was a simple mistyping.

Appologies.


Ya know what they say - any publicity is good publicity as long as they spell my name right.
