Why the run on Ruger 10/22s?

[egpost916]

OK I can understand why there would be a run on the takedown model but a run on the basic wood and stainless steel models? I though everyone already had one of these why does everyone now need like 4 or 5?

Because 10/22s are awesome!

stand up for your rights call, email your reps and your congressmen tell them how you feel. and how you would like to keep your 2nd amendment and not to compromiss it.

Definition of COMPROMISE
1
a: settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual concessions

b: something intermediate between or blending qualities of two different things

2
: a concession to something derogatory or prejudicial <a compromise of principles>

Because we're paranoid. That really is the only reason.

I didn't know there was a ban being considered. I need to get off my a** and get one, or a couple.

No, you need to get off your a** and write your congressman!

[Munny$hot]

I bet it will pass.

Heres why.

MoonBeam got elected.

People voted to raise taxes with no monitoring

Everytime somebody buys a 10/22, a unicorn drowns in a Tsunami of skittles. Good riddance to these evil rimfire weapons of war!

Already done that!! A few times. I love how you get on their email lists after that though...

BTW Turners had some in stock and I finally picked one up!

Great job, thank you!! Yeah, I hear you about the email lists, but it's a small price to pay, IMHO. Anyway, you can always set those up to go directly into your spam folder when they start arriving....

Because of this

http://nramemberscouncils.com/legs.shtml?summary=sb374.1&year=2013

Right now there is a bill, SB 374 in the California Senate that will ban ALL SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLES, specifically including rimfire rifles. That means that the 10/22 will be considered an Assault Weapon. If you have one, you can register it as a assault weapon, subject to use and transport/storage restrictions. You will not be able to sell it in state. You will not be able to lend, transfer, or gift it. And when you die it must be destroyed or given to Law Enforcement.

And if you are ok with registering as an Assault Weapon, consider the assembly person Bonta has drafted a bill that retroactively revokes previous "grandfather clauses" and registrations and requires "illegal weapons" to be destroyed or turned in without compensation. Slim chance of that, but it shows where they plan on going once they know what you have.

This was baffling to me as well. The 10/22 is exempted from the AW ban, or was I misreading the text of the bill?

No, you are correct that the 10/22 is exempt.

This is how a panic starts, people too stupid to read the proposed bill and spreading bs.

CA AW bill SB374 includes rimfire with detachable mags

22's are cheaper to shoot & good bang to buck ratio. Anything that shoots approx. 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards is fun!

Beautiful rifle! I gotta ask... what kind of scope mount is that? Would it work with the TD model?

[oldyeller]

I just read the bill SB374, and cannot find where the 10/22 is exempted. I either cannot read penal code, or am too stupid.

Excellent rifles

I just read the bill SB374, and cannot find where the 10/22 is exempted. I either cannot read penal code, or am too stupid.

It is listed in appendix A (exempted firearms) around page 50 of the bill. It lists about 3 10/22 models.
