AR contingency plan...

Everything that they have confiscated so far has been in very small numbers. Some of them less than a 100 firearms imported into the country. There is already case law about compensating firearms owners. Back in the 90's in Alberta a guy took the Feds to court over the confiscation of a Spas shotgun and were force to cut him a check over it.

This is a great way to go about it. Slow burn, watch for deals, make something all your own!
In Australia the Gov. was proactive enough to notify everybody that they would be compensated. $350 million later the unhappy former gun owners where bought out. I just can't see how a Gov. can justify stealing a purchased piece of property off a citizen without compensation. What's the next step, oh wait "we don't like that bike or car so get it off of the street"?
actually it did, in the end
The outrage and eventual turning back of the prohibition got me excited and energized that maybe, just maybe, firearms owners can actually have a voice in politics that gets heard. I thought the Swiss and CZ were gone for good.
With the price of stripped lowers these days, there is zero reason for anyone with an RPAL not to own at least one, if for nothing more than as a political statement. Or, to show solidarity with those of us fully invested in modern sporting rifles as both a passion and way of life.
There is undeniable strength in numbers and there is little question that if/when the final push begins it will be the black rifle community which will find itself thrust into the fray first against the political vanguard of the international civil disarmament movement.
I've made it my mission to recruit as many new members into the fold as I can and have even donated spare stripped lowers to friends and family and have built a number of complete rifles for others. The only condition is that they pay it forward and recruit at least two new black rifle guys into our community in exchange.
The day will come when we elect a government willing to repeal and replace the C-17/C-68 Firearms Act in exchange for a truly common sense Act that will recognize and enshrine our gun rights and be governed by principles of natural justice rather than political correctness. So buy yourself a lower in anticipation of that day rather than hedging your bets that there might be an outside chance of obtaining "grandfather" status sometime in the future.

I like AR's but currently don't own one(I did before) and keep resisting the idea of another caliber in the house, it just comes with more boxes of all kinds of stuff but I may have found a solution, WW AR-15 in 7.62x39 as I have plenty of ammo, I've been mulling over for some time but you guys all make sense to me. I planned not to buy anymore guns this year but circumstances seem to dictate otherwise.
And are they prohib today?
Remove the tinfoil and get out and enjoy life.
If you can afford it buy it and all that goes along with owning an AR.
What ifs just dont cut it.
There are more important issues in this country and gun control should be far down the list.

The Aero is one of the best kept secrets in terms of product for the price. Just recently grabbed a Spikes' when Questar had them @ $110. They're another quality product (Aero has/is supplying Spikes' for their Lowers).
Can't go wrong with either of these as a starting basis or just to have because of possibilities
Actually the prohib short pistol farce effectively "confiscated" several thousands of guns from owners who had legitimately owned them..you were forced to turn it in or sell it for a fraction of it's worth...if you could find a buyer..and with a deadline....I was one of them.
That is a depressingly incorrect statement.
Fortunately...firearms ownership....and shooting...particularily defensive and other practical disciplines have seen a huge resurgence and or genesis in the last 10 yrs. And better yet it has seemingly become a more "white collar" endeavour too.
I see a lot of shooters driving high end cars and dressed/conducting themselves a lot more like Drs/lawyers/engineers than the typical blue collarshooter stereotype.... showing up at ranges everywhere...and busting out AR's and other combat/defensive/practical hardware and gear.
This bodes well both from the numbers but more importantly from a demographic perspective. Politicians are malleable weak easily manipulated entities. They will take a lot of flak from the blue collar crowd before reacting/bending/succumbing .....they will exponentially respond to the white collar demographic who represent $$, influence and can articulate their case when it comes to policy/law and the very serious issue of confiscation and infringement of private rights and property.
This issue alone will make further intrusion by the Feds on firearms more difficult than in the past...more difficult I say..not unfeasible or impossible..or likely.
This aside....it's the same ole same ole....the hunters won't engage cuz their rifles aren't affected, the skeet/trap shooters won't engage cuz their OU's aren't affected, less so but also the bullseye shooters, varmint shooters etc......
Divided and easily conquered is the deal!
EVERYONE able to do so should procure at least an AR lower...even if it never sees the light of day...AND defend it vigorously from curtailment of it's possession/use to outright confiscation. Think of it as a $70 contribution to the NFA or other group.....
Divided we will lose...in solidarity we stand a chance.
I was literally aghast when, during the prohib pistol process, how many actual gun owners/shooters actually PROMOTED the prohib process! Some believing it would act as a sacrifice to the gods so that they wouldn't come for their "other" guns....others that fell in line with the mantra " short guns are for killing and crime" and have no "sporting purpose". It was entirely sobering and depressing to see how we divied ourselves up for the slaughter.
The conservatives have it right...re elect them and pressure them further in the direction of " individual accountability" for ones actions....no need for layered convoluted law and or policy or limitations on the free law abiding populace.....use existing laws with bolstered penalties to hold people accountable for their actions and aggressively prosecute violent/firearm related criminal activity. It's actually quite simple, inexpensive and effective.
