As for cheap AKs or Garands, I haven’t seen any of those since before Obama’s first term.
Dang it, you got me there. Long time since I’ve been gun shopping and it already was an expensive and time consuming hobby then! 100% of the ones I foolishly lost in a tragic boating accident so long ago were inherited.
Everything, like everything I guess, is ridiculous now. Ammo is inflated but at least it’s way better than it was in 2020-ish.
Kel Tec’s offerings I’m guessing they’re like Hi Point?
Ah, good catch about the carbines. That’s pretty popular these days! KelTec is a bit nicer. Mostly polymer, really interesting designs, but I’m not sure about their longevity reputation. They don’t just make “Another AR-15…but slightly different!” over and over, so I think they’re neat in that regard.
Sheesh! Also not cheap though! You’re right. Anybody needs a rifle’s gotta set aside a couple grand. Even used, unless they get lucky.
Yeah. Everything is all kinda crazy.
The usual suspects hoarded all the arms and then went down rabbit holes towards becoming mall-ninja LARPing lackies for a fascist regime. The wealth inequality chasm widened, and most non-conservatives were busy convincing themselves guns were scary and unnecessary instead of taking responsibility and educating themselves and their communities.
Whelp…
… There’s always 3D printing lol. XD
I sincerely and truthfully hope as a nation we can do a complete heel turn without having to gravely consider protecting ourselves in this manner, though.
I think if self defense weren’t so one-sided, we might be seeing more of a reflection of the old adage: “An armed society is a polite society.”
