Am I the only one that put the kibosh on long gun purchases?

[CessnaDriver]

I"m not letting it stop me if I want something.
Right now I'm good. In the future I might pick up a lever action.
Won't be hard to keep track of what is registered and what was not.

I bought pretty much only rifles in the lead up to 1/1/14, and am buying SSE pistols in the run up to 1/1/15 (assuming our fears are confirmed).

After my 'strategic' purchases, I'll probably pick up the long guns I didn't get in under the wire.

LOL! I had a friend in the Marine Corps who said that he had tried to get into the Navy because he wanted to be a ship driver, but he couldn't because of poor eye sight. He said, "The Navy checks your eyes, the Marine Corps just counts them." I don't know why I just thought of that, but I say it with complete respect, too.

And what can I say? I just like ships . . . and the food was better, too.

Strength and Honor, Jarhead.

had the pleasure of serving ( chipping paint ) on an LST .........something County and the AKA El Paso both in the Med. and both in a scrap heap.

Haven't changed a single thing in my buying. They already have all my information with all the pistols I have bought. To think that the rifles are any differently is just silly.

And if you are not buying rifles now because of registration, why did you buy pistols that were registered? Seems kind of tin hat wearing to me if you were ok with them knowing about your pistols but your scared about them knowing about your rifles.

If you're buying longs just keep them separate from the long guns you bought before Dec 31. Same with your registered handguns, keep the separate from your unregistered long guns.

Legally owned unregistered guns are sacred IMO.

[Metal Fiend]

Yep, same here.

Yes, I've stopped buying long arms, but not because of the law. Stopped buying because I've got all the rifles I want and need.

Nothing like the pitch and roll of a flat-bottomed LST when the swells come in!

Okay, back on topic . . . I bought three new rifles last month. Molon labe!

Since the illegalls stole my boat and killed that whale, I have nothing to worry about.

I do have some really nice kitchen knives!

My fear has not been confiscation.
My fear is right now if a LEO pulls a gun check they see 10-12 handguns. If i continue to buy by the end of they year they will pull a gun check an see 25-35 guns on that gun check.
Now I dont know what they see when they pull one but this could end up a felony stop over a speeding ticket or if they come to my house for a noise complaint that is actually my neighbors or some other dumb reason that im not involved in, I back the badge but the world is a crazy place.
I dont feel safe knowing that some rookie can come to my door guns drawn expecting me to come out in a blaze of glory for having a hobby.

Yes. Bought a couple lowers last year. If I need another rifle I will build one out.

I think you assume too much. My LEO friends say routine computer screens in a traffic stop do not pull up all the guns you own. They don't see anything except wants and warrants. (And normal DL information)

If they come to your house they will need probable cause and a valid search warrant.

So you're worried about FUD.

Buy what you want.

Matt at Ironwood said he will start making wood furniture sets for unconverted Saiga rifles this year, so I'm DROSing a .308 in the next week!

Saiga .308 with walnut furniture =

[darkknight]

I still buy, sorry but do you really think the dros just disappears? Sorry never truly believed all the paperwork wasn't kept, he'll your FFL has a copy so theirs paper work to track it. Spend money as you see fit.

[safety-1st]

Not sure why many are worried? You fill out a DROS and have a background check. They know you purchased a firearm lol Your SS and the serial of the firearm are tied to each other. They know all the firearms I purchased last year and they will know about all the fire arms I purchase in the future.
