What to purchase in case 114 passes

[AshWilliams]

Maybe, if they had a 'plan' to follow, or to use as a 'benchmark' - but I doubt anything like this exists and they will most likely be on their own.

Add to this the probable lack of care, or any enthusiasm for it and I could see it stretching on for a lot longer - like maybe a year or more (and probably more).

Yes, there are zero plans in place for how this will all be funded and who will be responsible for what. It's going to be a giant cluster-bubblegum.

Fact is 114 doesn't define "trained". Hey, point gun pull trigger you are trained....

Most people I know, prepare BEFORE a storm.
BUT, But, but......I understand tight finances.

So then.....
Will the voters NOW take the Anti-2nd Amendment (and the Un-Americans) seriously?

Aloha, Mark

PS.......Based on the Bruen decision.
Well, I'd guess that........during the days of the founding fathers......citizens were NOT required to take Govt approved training given by Govt approved instructors.

The closest I might figure is that......one might be required to bring their own arms to shooting/training events, in order to be/keep, "well regulated."

And then......in light of "welfare, etc..."
I could imagine......that such requirements......might just/would probably open the door to Govt issued F/A firearms to the population. Like with the swiss. LOL.

Fact is that if folks are unwilling to vote out the bad politicians then the folks will live under bad laws.

Oregon has had decades to vote them out but haven't so the fruits of your labors come forward.

Sorry if this post is to political, I just can't help myself...

I was really just looking for some advice on purchasing guns and mags or recievers and mags... But hey I understand this gets people talking so I let it be.

Ya I apologize for breaking the rules and I meant no harm.

If you have the money then wait for the vote to buy. If 114 passes then the rush will be on to sell guns and prices will drop.

I bought mags on sale at brownells because of the ban and they had a good sale.

Oh and keep the reciets to prove when you bought the mags.

No harm done! I'd hate to silence a voice of opinion when it comes to this matter.

Appreciate the insight, that's helpful to know. I was planning on just buying the receivers now so I can get the backgrounds done earlier

If it passes there should be a sale on recivers because gun dealers may not be able to sell a gun for months when it does. Some will raise prices as a last buying opportunity but if they don't sell then it may be months before they even can sell in Oregon.

It's a risk, a gamble to save a few bucks.

I've been unloading a lot of stuff.

Under 114 I think I would buy magazines first, they are not banning guns yet, just magazines.

Also LEVO has already committed to IP 18 which will ban any semiautomatic firearm with detachable magazines.

They're not stopping at 114. Once they got us on the run they're gonna keep coming.

Remember Full Legislative Session next year. They will herald the passing of 114 as a "mandate from the people". Even though it will be probably pass by less than 10%. But they are authoritarian socialist Nazis and they don't care. The minute some weirdo kid walks into an Arbys and starts shooting they're going to pounce on us.

It's always been a step by step process. You are going to see guys trying to sell all their guns before 114 goes in because selling a gun is going to get difficult. It's part of the control process.

I've been unloading a lot of stuff I overbought. Don't want to deal with the BS later. I know I'm not the only one.

114 passes then the market in Oregon will change in a big way, then keep changing as more laws are added.

The most important gun rights election in my lifetime.

So I'm unfortunately late to purchasing all the firearms I want if by some miracle 114 passes. Which leaves me with a tight budget on what to purchase. I've thought it out, and I think the best solution would be to purchase the frames and recievers of what firearms I would want, and build them out myself, leaving me with more money to spend on the magazines for said projects. Would that be the best solution in instead of buying the firearms I want? Or should I just purchase the firearms? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

To some others points here, once they start, there's no easy stopping them (or telling when) so here's my 2 cents..

Firearms are tools. You could build them, but it's rarely to the same quality/reliability of a full time manufacturer, so I'd vote purchase vs. build and spend more time practicing.

Next, identify all the scenarios/tools you think you will need across your lifetime & rank them. After that, I'd start buying the highest value (ie reliability) you can afford for each tool w/ accompanying high cap magazines.

For fun here are my top 6 choices..

1. An everyday carry, worlds too crazy to consider anything else as #1
2. Primary defense weapon, the closest to a do-it-all tool that you can find (AR?)
3. Secondary weapon, Back up able to reach out to 100 yards (ie no Taurus judge…)
4. A small game hunter (22lr, 17hmr)
5. A mid range hunter bolt action
6. A shotgun, probably the most versatile tool given the wide range of ammo offerings. Would cover many uses on this list by its self!

To me, After this most things become range toys or "nice to have" firearms . Good luck on your pre 114 hunt!
Bonus tip, don't forget to buy spare parts for your favorite tools!!!

Yep, I bought a bunch of these from GO.

If you can afford to buy the guns and mags do so. If you wanna just buy lowers and have money left for extra mags I would do that. I'd get on it now as many are panic buying and if you don't have a CHL you will definitely get thrown in at the end of the line. Just be aware that a pistol frame (Glock for example) can cost you 1/2 to 2/3 of the complete gun. So is it worth it.

I won't be getting a permit to buy a gun so I've been stocking up for awhile. I feel for the people who are just finding out about this or getting into firearms for their first time. As well as a generation that will have to deal with this when they become of age.

You can wade through all the panic and nonsense political garbage that gets spewed all over. Keep a sound head on your shoulders and you will be ok.

If you have the funds available buy today.

I never think I need more, then I go and order more!

As for the OP, I'd say needs vs wants.

If you think you need it, get it now at all costs.

I've really got all that I can possibly want. Definitely more than I need.

If you don't need much, shoot more of what you got. That way you'll need more!

I have my AR, my AK,. 22 and a smaller CC. I'm lacking a shotgun, and a full size Handgun. I figured building them would be easier and I'm aware they wouldn't be of the same quality but would fulfill the need. I was hoping on building a DMR, AR 9, 300blk, and 556 pistol. For the bolt action I would be willing to wait for the license if it were to happen (currently waiting 2nd knee surgery, so wouldn't be able to get out and use it properly)
Appreciate the insight!

IF 114 passes, will revolvers go up in price and demand or will people settle for a 10 round semi?

As long as your SD needs are met I don't see it as something worth going into debt over, but receivers vs full firearms... be aware that purchasing in components may very likely cost you more in the long run. If at all possible, buy full... but that also comes with the caveat that it depends on what type of firearm you are looking to buy. AR's... it really doesn't matter since they are primarily component firearms where a handgun... not so much. You'll be wasting money going the component route.

Mags I'm not as concerned about since I have more than sufficient quantity, allthough... you really can't ever have "too many" and when pre-114 deep discounts are falling in my lap, I'm certainly taking advantage of them. Not from the 114 scare though.

Considering that the mag capacity ban will be the fastest to fall, unless you actually "need" them, I would concentrate on firearms.

I can't speak for all, but if it passes... I will not be buying any neutered semi-auto's or even mags. I, however, would buy a revolver. I don't think I'm alone in that and can imagine perceived demand might see some prices going up. I say "perceived" because I kind of doubt demand will skyrocket, but in comparison to a dramatic decrease in semi-auto demand... comparative demand for revolvers will likely be higher.

If you're a retailer and trying to keep food on the table, you gotta make your bucks where the current demand is. AKA, higher pricing.

 

[AshWilliams]

I already know folks who are purchasing revolvers. When it passes I'll be switching my carry from a G19 to a 10 round G26.

114 could be the final vote to turn Oregons gun rights into kali. Looking at kali you see areas gun stores are not allowed so when 114 goes through it could drag out to the point gunstores close the doors.

I guess what to buy depends on your age and what you intend to do.

A three gun competitor has different needs than a home defense only shooter.

At my old age I don't need anything but more time....
