Gun Questions any one?

[Drich]

My new job has me learning more about firearms than i even knew there was to know. i get a lot of questions at the guns store which has made me take time and research the guns/manufacturers, guns and ammo trends (ammo prices) 2A news and projected legislation, the popular fire arms and of course trying to match up the right fire arm for the right person. not only does a gun need to fit it's intended roll or application in your life but it has to fit you, as if you are intimidated by it you will not practice handling it or firing it and it then becomes more of a liability than a tool intended on some measure of self defense. I can even point you to on line resources to help you find parts ammo and even firearms. This is more of something i enjoy, and would like to share it with anyone thinking about a gun, seeings how the police are leaving in droves under threat of being defunded, and or being replaced with unarmed social workers.

I do not want this turn into a gun debate.. this is more of a technical q&a

Yea well, too bad. We have a flooded market. I never get a good answer from the right as to how many would be enough. 1 billion guns? 10 billion guns? 50 billion guns?

I could give a sh*t less about size or type.

it depends on the individual, as guns are nothing more than tools. a life long technician can accumulate so many tools they need massive tool storage systems than can cost well over 50k. not to mention the tools it take to fill those boxes. while some handy man home owner could fit evertool he will ever need in a box small enough for him to carry around. asking how many guns are enough depends again on the owner. some like i did in the beginning collected them for the history so to have or own a gun from ever major us era was the goal. plus a hunting rifle and a self defense hand gun. because to me to hold and fire a gun from the civil war or the wild west wwi or wwii connected me to our past, as you feel what they felt smell what they smelled, get to share an experience. plus it is fun to shoot from the hip like they do in the movies to see if you can hit anything. 
Others with way more money go deeper.  while most look to have a conceal carry, home defense and maybe something for a bug out situation as a conceal carry is practically effective for 10 yards or less, shot gun MAYBE 25, while an ar good between 55 and 250 while a hunting rifle can reachout at 1000+

again it depends of what individuals need their guns for.. round the farm 22LR and 22 mag are the king as it is a great varmint round. while a .38 .357 carbine would make a great coyote/deer gun. then ar-15 great anti bad guy gun, also good for bear and deer. now multiply my metric/need times about 350 million people and that is how many guns we need. as we all have the right to fill our needs for firearms anyway we see fit and are not conformed to fit the need of someone who live under the protection of his mother in her basement.

believe me they don't just give federal firearms licenses away there is a several hour phone interview and a follow walk through and face to face interview/training session

So who did you pay to pretend to be you for all that?

since your mom was busy, i had to suffer through it myself.

i thought so too.. problem is all the distributors are sold out of everything.. no guns availed no bullets.. you can buy holsters, slings, optics and magazines.  you gotta get creative otherwise you'll go outta business because you have nothing to sell. which is why me having inventory is little bit of a big deal

That's local, and..hilariously, an effect of the magats hording and profiteering.

actually we are told that the vast majority of the new gun buyers were fence sitting dims and dims left of center. as most of us reps are and have been well armed from jump.. if anything we contribute to the problem everytime there is movement in the market we panic buy ammo.. but new guns sales looks to be center left-lefties.
