I wonder how a ban would affect 80% lowers.cb1000rider wrote:I don't think I agree with this. Any "assault" weapons ban would ban them going forward. Not retroactively. Do I have that wrong historically?earlwb wrote:I figure if there is a ban on assault guns, we'll have a lot of civil disobedience just like what happened with the alcohol prohibition in the 1920's. It automatically creates a black market with rampant smuggling, etc. heck the previous assault weapon ban in the 1990's didn't work either. But it makes criminals out of millions of citizens. The government would have your friends and neighbors turning you in too.
Basically guns get divided up into pre-ban and post-ban. All the pre-ban guns in our collections would see massive appreciation. Yea, you couldn't buy a new AR lower going forward, but the existing lowers become substantially move valuable.
Prohibition was different, especially since you could make booze in your backyard or bathtub.

Bummer, was about to order something from them. Might bite the bullet on tax and go with GrabAGun.karatedad wrote:PSA is "out of stock" on most AR parts and assemblies but they had stripped lowers this morning, so I got 2 on order just in case I get the urge to build something.
Bud's also seems to be moving slowly. I purchased a new CZ-75-B SA last Tuesday and still haven't received shipping confirmation. It's normally only a day or two.
