I haven't had cable for years I quit smoking, I rarely drink I have two kids and lots of bill's, any extra cash I get goes into my hobby, I will save my ass off and have ATRS custom build me a black rifle so I may enjoy it for years to come. I have spent about $4000 this year on my hobby, to most here that's nothing but to me its a lot.
Quality over quantity as it has to last me and I can't afford to be soaking money into repairs on cheap guns.
Exactly! I think people forget, that when you actually look at how much ammo any AR on a few skids will go through if properly maintained and kept on top of new parts, people would start thinking about this properly!
A friend of mine purchased a motorcycle, but said a good AR is out of his league, it's too expensive for him, I told him bulls**t. Here's why...The amount of ammo you can shoot through your AR will weigh more than your bike practically, I ask him how much he has spent on his 6k motorcycle and some of his other hobbies.. as he listed them he stopped and came to realize he was kidding himself.
Most Canadians will only spend between $500 too a $1000 on a rifle if that! On other hobbies, well the sky's the limit... Cheap food from restaurants that is supplied by the same company, hey they will go there no problem..
What about spending money on say Life Insurance when they die and leave there family with debt and no income = most Canadians these days don't care, there answer is I'm dead what do I care...
Fact is most Canadians don't deserve the opportunity to own these firearms in the first place...these rifles are affordable as they are, and if they are spending on other crap then that is their priority and they get what they deserve! The same people that are complaining are usual just cheap, people on here talk a big game, but how many of them would even cough up 10 bucks to join this website.
As for making an affordable rifle for Canada, there are already affordable AR's out there, if you can only cough up $500 if that a month then save up and cut out smoking and all the other excessive crap you are spending your money on. But please stop #####ing like it is so difficult!
What are your priorities?
For you cheapsters out there....
YOU ARE NOT WORTH THE BOTHER!
