I've never privately owned an assault rifle. I was in the army so I have experience with a quite few different firearms, but mainly the M-16/AR-15 platform. Anyway, apparently they're gonna start getting pretty inexpensive. My friendly salesman, already wearing a red hat reading, "America: Great Again" advised me that the next shipment was going to go for about $750 per, but that if I waited until close to Christmas, that I could probably save $100 or so.
So I think that's what I'm going to get: an AK-47; like a really old-school looking Kalishnakov. After all, they aren't going anywhere. Instead of sleigh bells, this Christmas is going to have the ring of 7.62 ammo being fired down range.
It's weird. Now that I know that any hope for gun control of any kind is as dead as Charleton Heston, I suddenly don't feel guilty about owning one of the weapons I would absolutely ban if I had the ability to.
Are they making them any better these days? The originals were meant to be used by half-educated farm boys and accuracy was not really important.
What I've discovered in this incredibly important search for my Jesus-bestowed right to excellent firepower is that even the entry-level models, as long as they were made after 2008, are pretty reliable and accurate out to 300 meters or so. And that's good enough for me. I anticipate that if and when Trump's secret police come for me, that I'll probably have to show 'em what America's really about well inside 200 meters or so. However, if I'm willing to spend a couple hundred dollars more (and I am) I can get one that'll be as accurate as any American made AR. And that's pretty damn good.
Next on my list is a compound. I totally didn't know this until a few months ago, but if you show up at a government facility with guns, as long as it's largely not occupied at the time, and if it's in a sparsely populated area, they let you stay for free and even bring you snacks.
The bottom line here is that you need something with solid stopping power that'll make the Trump government wary before it starts showing up and un-Constitutionally arresting us and taking our guns.
