Why Don't you just buy a Mini 14/30?

OK: I really didn't think I'd find any Liberals here, You are generally pretty much in the Gun Control Camp. But since you brought it up,,,

I have watched Liberals degrade this state into a near third world status. I have watched them allow a steady stream of Immigrants from Mexico flow into this state and be subsidized on Welfare, and 15 other Freebie Programs so they could survive here when they can't even survive in their own country because of the Rampant Corruption. They can't survive on Minimum Wage Jobs because NOBODY IS SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE ON A MINIMUM WAGE JOB!

You're supposed to get educated or trained for higher employment and you are not Guaranteed or Entitled Anything,,, You get to work for it

The vast majority of jobs occupied by Immigrants are jobs that used to be occupied by Young People and were meant to be transitory so that they learned how to work. They were never designed to be,,, nor should they be now considered "Careers."

Mowing Lawns is not a Career.
Washing Cars is not a Career.
Working at McDonalds is not a Career, unless you are a Manager and even they have problems making it.

The reason you have to work more than one job to survive is because Obamacare killed Full Time Employment in Minimum Wage Jobs.

That was a Liberal who did that to you, not a Racist White Guy!

So in actual fact,,, Obama who is a Liberal,,, is the Racist here!

Why didn't the Immigrants stay in their own Countries and Fight? Because the CA Liberals made it too easy to come here and rape our system!

Right now Brown is trying to create a Socialist State and his successor probably Gavie Newscum will try to continue this quest for Nirvana. It is easiest done with people who are compliant and beholden to the Left.

Beware the Useful Idiots! They will keep you right in your place.

You won't be invited to their Nirvana! But you will be trapped into re electing them so you can keep your welfare and $15/hour job.

Right now CA is approaching 60% Latino. That stat has tripled in the last 40 years! Very few have advanced to White Collar Status. They will help kill this state.

But one thing you really need to get thru your head,,,

It ain't Racist, if it's true!

Wake up,,, You're being used! read the attachment!

When governments intervene in pricing, such as this fantasy of a $15 minimum wage, it distorts markets badly, every time, everywhere. The market determines what you can sell your labor for, not the government. The best way to increase one's value in the market is to acquire skills and training that are in demand. Never depend on government price interventions for your income. You must differentiate yourself from the hordes of untrained, unskilled immigrants, and you must differentiate yourself from careers that are becoming obsolete.

Yes, it's hard work, night and weekend classes, etc. to acquire skills and training. But it pays off for life IF you choose the right path. The main thing is that you MUST choose a career path that is and will be in demand in the 21st century economy. What might that be? Research it.

But.. But.. But, 30yrs ago they were only $400. So that's all their worth

[Steve1968LS2]

I have been here off and on for years but only started posting a month or so ago.

I see all these cockamamie modifications to AR's All of which completely render the guns annoying at best, or nearly useless at their worst.

Randy

If you think a grip fin (or hammerhead) and fixed stock makes and AR "useless" then you're just to ignorant about guns to explain it all to. Sorry.

I have a mini-14.. not terribly accurate.. it's ok.. Magazines are expensive and iffy if not genuine Ruger.. harder to mount optics..

And Ruger sorta sold us out many moons ago during the first AW ban

[Steve1968LS2]

You had Hanibal's Mini didn't you. j/k lol

See.. they could NEVER hit what they were shooting at...

My value assesment has entirely to do with the fit, finish, quality, and performance of the rifle in comparison to other semi auto intermediate cartridge carbines. In fact I sold my Mini 14 581 series for exactly $400 because that's what I thought was a fair price for a high powered plinker. What makes it worth more than a $500 AR built off a PSA kit? It's heavier, less reliable, less accurate, and less durable.

I got lucky. Found a chump willing to pay $900 for my 581 Ranch during the crazy early Obama years.

Chuck, wasn't including you in that statment, I know you had a bad mini! I even mentioned elsewhere that there were some actual cases of CG members receiving subpar Mimi's. But, I also know you never gave Ruger a chance to fix your rifle....... As unhappy as you are & as frequent you post your distain, you somehow always forget to mention that you never sent your unsatisfactory rifle back for warranty work............ Getting the lemon sucks, but you gotta give a manufacturer a chance to make it right before going on full blast!!!

My Mini experience is quite different. Had a great BNIB stainless 582 that I thought I could trigger job, well I couldn't! I made it super unsafe, told Ruger what "I" had done and they had me ship the rifle back home on my dime. 2 weeks later I had a my rifle fixed right as rain with free return shipping.
Ruger is a great company with awesome CS if you only let them.............

[Garandimal]

My 582 is worth Every Penny of $700.

Wood n' Steel (and a little plastic), it is 100% reliable, handy, fun to shoot, and field rifle accurate.

Really what this thread was designed to do was to show that there is no intelligent argument against a Mini14 for people who are locked in CA or other Commie States.

I think it has been proven beyond doubt that they are competent weapons for any use an AR would otherwise serve in.

Nobody is knocking AR's here, I was simply making the point that a Mini 14 was a suitable substitute if you are not wanting Gavie Newscum up your arse, or don't want to modify an AR to be "Compliant." IE up your arse.

Randy

[LowThudd]

You have been given MANY intelligent arguments as to why someone might prefer an AR to a Mini, even here in CA. You chose to dismiss them all. At the end of the day, it is still a matter of personal preference. Can't you agree with that at least?

1. No one is locked in CA. LOL! If you feel that way stop being a weenie.
2. You did knock AR's, read your second paragraph in your original post.
3. Minis are competent weapons some just choose and AR's. So what! Choice.
4. The title of the post asks "why don't we buy a mini" answer is because some don't want to. Easy right! LOL!!!!!!! Again, choice!
5. I'm still thinking about getting a mini 30. Maybe. LOL!!!!!!!
