Pretend for a moment that all future firearms and parts sales were going to be prohibited beginning Jan 1, 2022. What would you buy before the ban??

[Member 3687]

I think some people missed the word "hypothetical".

I agree folks are too serious and as stated a few posts down it is a thought process to see if you are prepared or are there things you could use now just in case the demand gets high or there are shortages, you know just like now.

Its only "hypothetical" until it happens then its real and you may be un prepared.

Have more than I'll ever need. The rest is just an exercise in creativity.

I'm not so good at these pretend games or the what if games. I'll just do the best I can living my life then as I do now.

For the sake of this hypothetical discussion, you could keep whatever you have and whatever you received before Jan 1, 2022. Ammo and ammo components would still be available but transfers of firearms and firearm parts would be illegal (felony charge).

Mags, parts kits (springs, pins, etc.), etc.

The last ban lead me to build a profitable firearms & accessories business.
Law Enforcement will need firearms, parts and accessories.
Collectors will find something to collect (High End 1911's had renewed popularity).
Shooters were buying ammunition, ammunition components, small parts and magazine springs.

This time... I would probably find out who supplies @Longwalkhome with his popcorn, and purchase a 10 year supply.

Since this is a "hypothetical ".

I'd hypothetically buy anything modern, tactically, and practically appealing to the broader audience.

You see, being born and raised in the good ol USandA , I have witnessed a simple, immutable fact. Making something illegal also makes it much more valuable . Banning anything on new year's day would simply guarantee the exponential growth of the preexisting and already lucrative black market .

This presentation of facts in a hypothetical situation is strictly intended for the purposes of entertainment and information.

If this is a "thetical", then theticlly I have enough money to buy a primo machine shop, with backup hand powered options for production tools.
Archive as many schematics possible on paper.

Some dwarves and a smelter

 

[albin25]

Theoretically?….
…. some RPG's and a plane ticket to D.C.?

 

[Jay Walk]

I'm good but would probably like a couple more guns, No way in hell I would find them though.
So as said, I am happy with my stuff.

 

[Gunner3456]

100 High Point 9mm handguns and 100 boxes of blazer brass ammo.

For them that ain't got, these would get very valuable.

Cheers

Maybe order up some commonly worn parts like :

Sear
Extractors / ejectors
Firing pins
Magazines
Springs of various types
Things like that.

One thing about most of my collection is that I have a large amount of parts on hand...and I have the knowledge , skill and experience in making parts or modifying parts to work.....

This.

I don't really need any more firearms, but in the event of a ban prohibiting future acquisition of even parts... yeah, those common parts. Maybe a couple of spare optics as well.

The time to do it is now. The minute this was ever announced the merchandise would fly off the shelves and you'd have better luck finding a package of toilet paper.

 

[GOG]

I'm pretty dialed, but it took years. However, more is always better in being prepared.

Prices on AR components have come back to earth so I agree now is a decent time but if the filibuster holds and gun supporters take over the House in 2022 we could see prices fall even more.

If a ban such has been hypothetically presented were to become reality it would mean a revolution would ensue, politicians would be extinguished, new elections held (according to our constitutional laws), and the aggressors of our freedoms, safety and livelihood will be no more. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
