I was thinking about this last night regarding a future AWB. Assuming one is passed how would that impact high volume / lower margin suppliers like PSA? Especially if they limit online sales like they want. Would people still want to buy neutered AR15 kits in the same volume? I don't see how they could survive long term. Hopefully they have plans in place to adapt and survive.

Thoughts?

Well for starters it there was an AWB they wouldnt be able to sell anything.

Bc they arent going to let you have anything this time.

Curious on how they would legislate away parts? Right now the lower is the Firearm and the rest is just steel. Even if they banned "kits" it would be hard to ban replacement parts?

The better questions is what impact an AWB will have on the states. Will red states just ignore federal guidelines like CA flouted immigration law?

trying to stay optimistic. remember that the ruling class don't really want to permanently solve a problem.
I believe, I want to believe, that we will see gun show private transfers banned, over reaching background checks, and limits on amounts of guns and ammo that can be purchased.  I think the outright ban will come when they are bold enough to confiscate EVERYTHING

Remember PSA bought the H&R name and has hinted at making M1s. No AWB is going to touch that, and thet could make a smaller 5.56 version too.

There's always a loophole, since straight up banning all semi-auto rifles, including fixed mag ones isn't politically doable with the razor thin margins the democrats have.

1. Manufacturers and retailers that focus on firearms and accessories that are banned will either try to change their inventory to other things which people don't want as much. This will drive them out of business.
2. Manufacturers and retailers that focus on firearms and accessories that are banned will just go out of business because they know that what they currently provide is what the customers come to them for.

Either way the result is the same.

I am SURE they will go full retard on the outset knowing full well they will back peddle to get to where they really want while looking reasonable for "concessions" they made.

That's my fear with all this. Companies, like PSA, sprouted up post AWB and grew like crazy up until now. Now I don't see how the market can sustain them.

I am confident that PSA could adapt. They cornered the market on cheap AR15s and even decent American made AKs along with some innovative new products (9mm AKs) that weren't just cheap copies of existing items. I am sure they would come up with something to sell.

Parts sales would continue unless banned too.

Our only hope it to tie them up in litigation and flip the house and senate in 2 years. With the NRA still stepping on its dick it is going to be harder.

Of all the companies I think PSA has the best chance of surviving even if its a much smaller version of themselves. Not sure how companies like Spikes Tactical, Noveske, BCM etc. will fair in the storm.

After the gun is banned and illegal to even own, there will be no reason to sell parts for it.  The guys who bought 100 stripped lowers are fucked.

Im somewhat optimistic a full ban is not feasible given previous SC rulings and current make up of SC. That COULD change at any moment but for now I think we will end up with a "grandfather" clause. They will pitch it as a concession but after you die they must be turned in, no passing down.

An assault weapons ban is definitely going to happen. It's a way of criminalizing an entire political party. That's the plan.
This is late stage empire stuff.

What people in your family don't realize (or maybe they do) is that when they vote for a Democrat they're literally voting to make you a felon and destroy your entire life because people in the Republican party and gun owners believe deeply in their right to keep and bear arms. It is part of our identity. Literally part of who we are.

They are monsters.
The only analogy I can think of for "our side" would be if the Republican Party wanted to make being gay illegal, Levy a $50,000 fine and 10 years in prison.


If your nephew or son was a gay man Would you vote Republican so if he got caught fucking his boyfriend his life would be destroyed?

I sure as Fuck wouldn't.
This is the difference between you and your shitty family members. People who say things like " politics should never split up families" should refer to history.

Explain to me how it is more dire now than in 2009 or 2013.  The democrats don't have the political capital to do an all inclusive massive ban and do anything else.  They simply don't have the votes.

True, but we still have the same result.  
Unless the right starts cheating(better than the left) and finds a pool of illegals to get votes from we will never see Voter IDs.

I am all for voter ID, I can not see a Single legit reason not to require voter ID.  

However, I think it will always be shrouded in racism, and Voter Suppression and muh disenfranchisement ....

There is not going to be a AWB.   Obama had 8 years and was not able to pass one after Sandy Hook. It failed in the Senate 40-60.  Since then there are prob 10-20 million guys with back rifles that did not have them pre-Sandy Hook.    Biden wants to get his agenda passed for the next 4 years.
Going after guns in the next two years and risk flipping the house and senate? no going to happen.  We just have to hope we get at least the Senate back in two years.

I tend to agree. There is zero chance of an AWB happening as long as the filibuster is preserved. And I don't think they have the votes even without the filibuster.

The whole it's up to us I will not comply it's not their choice crowd are absolutely delusional. We have always been at the mercy of the government. Very few honest working men with a family are willing to become felons over night.

Any thoughts of the Supreme Court coming to our defense are absurd. They are complicit in the fall of our country and I look at them no different than a politician.

The left most definitely learned from the past. No loophole no work around any decent semi auto rifle capable of defense will soon be outlawed. So if you can't legally own the rifle then part aren't legal either.

The things that happened on the 6th convinced me our country doesn't have the willingness to completely rid our country of vermin.

1. I doubt PDs are buying PSA rifles.

2. Guns are simple to make.  If the government wants them, they'll get them made somewhere.  They might not be able to get exactly what they want, but they'll get guns. They used to just build their own anyway.

3. Ammo is no problem, how many government owned ammo plants were there in WW2.

4. Barrett did sort of do what you suggest.
