Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm a cured gunaholic and I don't want any more guns I've got that S&W Model 19 "Combat Magnum" coming in soon and I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning! But I'm cured now... Sorry. You can only be "recovering". There is no cure. And the Model 19 was the best gun I ever owned. Wish I had it today.

Buffalo Douglas Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Sorry. You can only be "recovering". There is no cure. Not true at all. The cure is just one more. Just one more WWII era guns are at the top of my wishlist. I also wouldn't mind an AR-10 platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hey Widder....er ya wantin' ta eat some crow? It may sound sacrilegious but I've got most every type gun I have a hankering or a need for. Only thing I don't have that I might like to have is a Ruger GP100 Match Champion. Kajun Kajun, I have a Match Champion if you ever want to try it out. I also have a Wiley Clapp 3" GP 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've been browsing around the toy stores. Now that I'm retired I have the time to do that. Even dropping into stores I've never been to before. So far nothing has called out to me "take me hooooome". I'll know it when I see it. What do y'all have on your list of stuff you really might cart home? A match grade "AR"-type, 5.56mm x 45mm rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Dollar Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm a cured gunaholic and I don't want any more guns.....however.....I would sure like a vintage S&W Model 29....in deep lustrous blue....6.5-inch barrel....one just like Dirty Harry's. Do you know the one? ********** While not the 6 1/2 model..... this is my 29-2 I bought new in '79. But to make up for the difference in the barrel, how about Dirty Harry's badge!

jrswanson1 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have almost every firearm I want that would likely be banned except for a 10mm carbine that takes Glock magazines. What I really want, and don't have the money for right now, is a 6" bright stainless Python and a blued 6" Anaconda in .45 Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm not worried about the gun grabbers. I am more worried about the hoarders and panicking that caused the last component shortages. So to answer the question, instead of guns on my wish list, I have brass, lead, primers and powder on my list. 2 of the four shouldn't be too much of a problem, as I shoot only black powder and use only Springfield Slim's big lube bullets. I should have enough brass to out last any shortage, so I guess I should order up a few cases of primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I guess that the first question is, "What will he/she/they try to grab first?" (How's that for not expressing a political view, or not identifying a particular candidate? (Wink, wink...) Our lovely MA AG has already re-interpreted MA statutes to ban the sale of any rifles that are, or are similar to, the AR-15 or the AK-47. In a flick of her pen, she declared them illegal, claiming it was the intent of the MA Legislature to ban them when it basically adopted the same language as the Clinton (not her...him) gun ban. She has agreed, for the moment, not to apply her interpretation to rifles sold before July of this year, at least for now. So those of us who own such rifles have the only available stock in the state. Hmmm....that might prove profitable.... But the Federal Assault Weapons Ban is dead and gone, so a new Administration probably could not ban them as easily...unless an Executive Order is used...???? How about banning the sale/resale of all semi-auto pistols? They account for the largest percentage of gun crimes - so a ban would have arguably the biggest effect (if any ban of legal gun sales will have any measurable effect on gun crime, since criminals usually don't go through the hassle of legal transfers). But my sense is that there would be no measurable change in the gun crime numbers, unless the government tried to confiscate all of the semi-auto pistols in circulation among criminals - a doubtful proposition. Like I said, those folks don't usually comply with laws, so I wouldn't expect to see the drug dealers and the gang members and the armed robbers line up at the police station to turn in their Sigs for coupons to Wal Mart. Bottom line - I don't think it's likely that any broad "gun grab" will occur. I would not be surprised to see a ban on 30 round mags, or .50 caliber rifles, or other marginal portions of the shooting sports inventory, to satisfy the extreme elements and give the new Chief something to point to as an "accomplishment". But the political will to seize or ban large portions of the legal guns in this country does not exist at present, and even another school shooting or similar event is probably not enough to unify and solidify anti-gun sentiments to the point that such a grab could occur. Our enemies are more likely to be incremental limitations on the right to carry, "common sense" restrictions on 2nd Amendment exercise, and a long term propaganda campaign aimed at convincing more voters that no one needs a gun. In the meantime, I'd like a Sharps, a Thompson and a WWII era 1911. Please, Santa? LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm not worried about beating "Presidential gun banning", because if it happens she'll go after the nonexistent "assault weapons", and there are none of them that I want. The logic of, "I must buy an AR15 before they are banned", escapes me. Unless, of course, I wanted an AR in the first place - which I don't. I would, however, like to get a nice 5" 38/44 Outdoorsman. That would go so nice with the earlier mentioned 357 and 45. And a 6" K32 Masterpiece - but that is WAAAAY beyond my pricerange. But I can dream.

Unless, of course, I wanted an AR in the first place - which I don't. That's why I bought mine. I had wanted one for a while but was planning on waiting until I had more money set aside. Then a shooting happened and there was a lot of talk of a ban, so I moved up my deadline I would like to get another 9mm with higher capacity (probably a Glock) and do a little 3 gun competition. Although I assume that just like CAS shoots, I'll be towards the back of the pack when the score card comes out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
