What happens to open orders if a ban is implemented?

[1911Operator]

Nobody knows when, what, where brother, the government themselves don't even know yet. Im sure they have ideas on what they want to do, but it is impossible to know, and anyone that tells you different is full of BS.

If you want some lowers all you can do is buy them as soon as possible, expect price gouging though.

this sucks!! we get over one problem, prices drop and suddenly another huge issue. now price way up again!

Look at it this way, you are going to get more hands-on experience with revolvers, pumps, black powder and lever actions soon.

but if you can't sell it to anybody, what is its value? scrap weight value?

By that argument, they can make it illegal to own land next to a road and then take your land and pay you nothing for it, but I'm pretty sure that isn't how it works.

the rifle isnt yours until the 10 day wait and DROS is over...so you get your money back - a restocking fee.

Crud. I'm really not concerned about the money. I was hoping that the payment in full was enough to secure the "ownership."

As long as it isn't one of these...


I mean, nobody needs 8 rounds of .357 right?

I realize there are lots of unknowns here. But let's say I go into a gun store today and place an order for an AR15 and pay for it in full. What would happen if a ban were to get implemented before the gun was ready?

Whatever happens, you'll get wind of it more than ten days in advance. None of the legislature bodies are known for their efficiency of action.

ok, so if i bought some stuff in early jan, could it be confiscated if the ban did pass 2014?

I doubt there will be no-knocks, with flash banging, and killing of pets, but you never know. It happened before, and I really don't think people have changed all that much in the last 60 years.

I picked up my Glock 19, and my colt ar15 today.
Happened to mention to the shop owner, that my next purchase will be a 1911.
He just smiled at me and pulled out an Ed Brown special forces......
Another 10 day wait....*sigh*

Really?

I'm not even losing sleep over the Feds. They have to convince 18 GOP representatives to get a ban. Even in 1994 with democrats the best they could get was a 10 year ban and ARs and AKs weren't banned... They just had less features. Back then a bayonet lug was a big deal too for some odd reason.

What I AM more concerned about is an expansion of the state ban here... There's no way the Feds will ever be as strict as Cali. Fortunately California can't even pass a budget on time with enough democrat votes to ban guns so I would expect very SLOW movement and PLENTY of advance warning.

If SB249 is enforced AR 15's acquired in california during the last 12 years will be illegal to possess. No restitution.

They would run into serious problems with 4th amendment lawsuits.

Seizing the private property of citizens without compensation (there are 30 million black rifles in the US) would be a losing proposition for them.

More likely, they ban moving forward, or require registration.

the 1986 MG "ban" went into effect May 19, 1986
the 1994 AW ban went into effect September 13, 1994

Two anti gun bills, one by a republican that is put up on a pedestal and worshiped, the other one by a democrat that the right use to think is the worst president until Obama got elected.

So why do so many people love Reagan?

the FOPA signed by Reagan was considered to be a net win for us. The antis inserted the MG ban as a poison pill to try to derail the bill. He asked if he should sign it and he was told that it was ok. The NRA filed suit to get the MG ban thrown out, but pre-Heller, got ruled against.

Why do so many love to spin their own political fly into the web?
Gun ban politics. Not left right politics.
Some on the right have shown to be anti gun, some on the left have shown to be pro gun.
Screw party lines. We continue down the path of right revocation we've got bigger issues than red or blue.
