Buying an AR-15 in California

[the game]

This is ridiculous. The tedious process to reload it is just stupid.

[Spoonman]

Wtf there is a TV channel just for american gun laws?

the chick is kinda hot
and also, an AR-15 is a hunting rifle? a personal defense rifle?
because if its a hunting rifle, having a long reload time is intended. and for personal defense, use a pistol or a shotgun for gods sake

Not good to start the video off with a clear lie that they disprove in the same video.

Some people do shoot guns for fun. Target shooting is very much a thing.

So after you fire your 30 rounds you have to go through some hoops to reload? That's it?

"You'd think this would be an infringement of our right to bear arms . . . "

Yeah, no. Congress has been VERY clear for well over a century that that particular right is limited in nature. Otherwise, you'd be able to argue you had a right to own weaponized Anthrax, or a nuclear bomb, or whatnot. There are clearly limits to what "arms" citizens are allowed to bear. Nobody disagrees with that, really. It's just a discussion about exactly WHERE to draw that line. Banning weapons like the AR-15 is just a small nudge of that line, not some huge shift.

I do believe the limit is around 10-15. Though I don't know if that law is still in effect.

They aren't even really banning the AR-15. They are requiring a new modification that makes reloading take longer. Old models are no longer legal to sell while new models will be.

Ive got a question for the gun people on this site. I live in Maryland. Im planning on going to the pawn shop and getting an AR15. How much would you pay for a slightly used AR15? Friends have gotten it for $900 and $1100 within the past few years.

Maryland has a few regulations that im not completely sure about. I believe i have to get a heavy bore receiver. im not too knowledgeable on the subject, but someone talked about getting an 80% receiver and boring it myself. Can anyone explain that and is it completely legal if i know a guy who can do that?

Most things are going to vary a little by state. Not sure how much help you can get on here unless someone knows your state laws.



Not saying this in a rude way, but in this case google would be better than the info you get from here.

There is no intention for a long reload time in a hunting rifle.

[Cebel]

The guy selling the guns seems extremely knowledgeable. I think he sums it up perfectly "It's like trying to blame the car for DUI's"

Thats what i figured.

Also slightly offtopic but does anyone have any comments about the mosin nagant? Its $250 here and it looks like a fun gun to fuck around with.

as a chilean i'd really would like to have access to an AR-15, but with a 5 cartridge magazine (so, like a hunting rifle)

Nobody NEEDS an AR-15

who cares who NEEDS one. It's our constitutional right to bear arms. If we WANT an AR-15 it's our right to own one. Now I will say they need to make it harder for people with mental issues to get a gun. I also believe everyone should be required to take a training course to own a gun, and must retake the course/test once a year to carry.

But like the man says.. We'd rather blame the guns, instead of the bad people. As if criminals are following the law anyways.

[Saucexorzski]

Why would you even want to do that when liberals have told everyone to just go to another state to get guns?

[Ghostpanther]

Thankfully in the US we do not NEED a reason to have one.

Depends on which one it is. I've seen them for around 700 here in Ohio.

Ok thanks, just making sure i wasnt getting completely screwed. I got a lot of money for christmas and ive always wanted one. I think we are safe with the right "controlling" government for a while, but i got a feeling they are only going to become harder to get as the years go on.

well, this. But i'd like you guys to limit the magazine capacity of high powered rifles to about 5-10 bullets
