America's obsession with guns

[popeyespappy]

Couldn't the same logic be applied to the drug war?

It could, but that would be a mistake Gun control crowd. The war on drugs has been an abysmal failure.

I just got two tax stamps back from the ATF last week and finished putting these together last night. The top one is a 5.56. It has a Seekins upper and lower, 12" Seekins MCSR hand guard, SD tactical brake (for the coming one of these days SD tactical Form 1 titanium suppressor) Seekins adjustable gas block, 14.5" FN made M249 spec barrel, Rubber City M16 spec bolt carrier and bolt, BCM charging handle, pistol grip, buffer tube and stock, Giessele SD-C trigger and twisted wire buffer spring, Mepro M-21 optic and Magpul Pro off set BUIS.

The stand alone upper goes on lower number 1. Aero upper, same MCSR hand guard, Noveske 8.5" 300 Blackout barrel with the SD Tactical brake (for the other coming one of these days SD tactical Form 1 titanium suppressor), EOTech 512 optic and MI BUIS.

The bottom one is an 11.5" budget (except for the Geissele SSA trigger and Aimpoint H-1 optic) build I did for Mama so she could have something light. It's just a tad over 6 lbs with the optic and BUIS. One of these days I may swap out the barrel for something with a light weight profile. That might shave off another .5 lbs.

There is about $3500 laying on that table. I don't think they are sexy. I do appreciate them for the precision machines they are and take some amount of pride in the work I did selecting the parts, assembling them and once I get them to the range tuning them to run.



I don't leave them or any of my other guns laying around the house loaded or unloaded. Every one of them is unloaded and locked in safe. While I don't support bans on any kind of small arms or accessories there are a host of more restrictive gun regulations I would support. For example I think flagging people on the no fly list in the NICS database is an extraordinarily good idea. Just not without a process for someone with such a flag to appeal the decision to put them there. Which by the way was the stated reason the legislation to add flags for people on the no fly list couldn't get passed the last time it was proposed. The government didn't want to have to defend their reason for flagging someone to begin with.
