Just showing how disjointed the laws can be…

Well, some liberals think wanting to own a gun is a mental disorder, and some conservatives think liberalism is a mental disorder. 
I do believe once someone has served all their time, parole, restitution and all, there should be a path to get their rights back. Or maybe they should not be allowed to leave prison. I wish we could do more to rehabilitate people in prison.

Welcome BigJ
Well call me optometric , I don’t have that bleak of a view of the USA future no matter who in charge. I do try and reason with the more far left people on the ideal of compromise and understanding that that politics is a rubber band effect if you stretch it far one way it will snap back the same distance the other way. And I think we need to shorten the stretch of the political rubber and sort to speak.

Liberalism
A 19th-century Protestant movement that favored free intellectual inquiry, stressed the ethical and humanitarian content of Christianity, and de-emphasized dogmatic theology.
- Woodrow Wilson (1913 - 1921)
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933 - 1945)
- Harry S. Truman (1945 - 1953)
- John F. Kennedy (1961 - 1963)
- Jimmy Carter (1977 - 1981)
So, being a demarcate is not the bad thing or a liberal. It is the those that stray towards the extremes that cause most the problems, Extremists. I will have to say that I am a liberal conservative.

Looking to get a rifle when the price go back to normal. I’ll stop I’m starting to ramble.
Define normal 
Long range rifle or huge hole shorter range or both 50bmg😁?
I was going to get the Springfield St. Victor but instead went with my own build. Heard of jamming issues with the St. Victor. Not sure how widespread. A recent YouTube review…

I guess there are always a few lemons out there, from almost any manufacturer. Not picking on SA.
And good luck finding the right AR.
Hope you can still legally keep it in 2021. Oops. Was that too political?

If you support the right to bear arms, you’re in the right please. If you’re are a responsible firearms owner, you’re in the right place. If you’re open minded and respectful of others beliefs and experiences, you’re in the right place. We live in a country where one can vote for the person of their choice and practice the religion of their choice.

Welcome aboard.
Welcome! Interested to see your thoughts. I have nothing really to say about your self-description. Doesn’t matter here. As long as you don’t support evil. I’m Catholic, the first Christians. I’m a convert. Used to be Democrat when Carter competed against Reagan. After Reagan won I joined the Atmy and quickly became very conservative. I have liberal ideas but am realistic about how things really work.
What’s the problem trying to join the National Guard?

Well used to be 360 down to 250 just starting talking to a recruiter so going through the steps, still have more weight to lose of course
Welcome, Big J.
Good luck with getting a rifle. You’re walking a tightrope between supply and demand and what is likely to be a political shift away from semiautomatic sporting rifles. The question is, will rifle supply be back before they are attacked by the president?
You might be a little late to the party unless you act soon. I was in the same place right before the assault weapon ban, and very much regret not buying a rifle then. It taught me several valuable lessons. First, don’t hesitate if there is talk of bans. The guns only get more valuable. Second, while the left and the right can argue about who has a better platform, I take Mr. Biden at his word. He will likely try to limit our 2A rights.
Guns are worth liking–I share your passion for them.
The other advice I would give you is practice, practice, practice.
And Danny, what you posted as facts–those aren’t facts. Those are opinions, and while I might agree, I’ll tell you that opinions are like shoes–most people have them and they don’t need to be aired publicly. Please for the sake of the forum, stick with GUNS.

Welcome!
There aren’t many open Democrats here, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want you here. Glad to have you aboard! We may argue from time to time, but that’s not a deal-killer for me…

Look up David Goggins. He was in the same boat. He was flat out rejected a couple of times, but finally a recruiter took a chance on him. He ended up being a Tactical Air Controller, a Navy SEAL, and an Army Ranger. Now he just does crazy stuff because he’s too fit to stand still.
