Agree with you 100% Stan= none of my guns were purchased from any branch of the US Gov't-- the same Uncle Sam I served as a member of the USMC. I do have a NM Garand that came from the CMP program, that's the closest I can figure to this current concept of our Uncle Samuel giving us top dollar for all our - as Beto O'Rourke phrases it- "battlefield weapons used to kill civilians"-- guess a Garand is/was a "battlefield weapon" as was the Springfield 1903 (or variants of same)- so- where do we draw the line.

How can the BATFE Gestapo determine what and whose firearms they are going to seize- as did Hitler in 1935-1945 era. This idiot from TX scares me- he is a outright zealot who would trample the Constitution until Hell won't have it-- in his blinded hatred of legitimate gun owners, like you, me, 90% or more of the rational members of this forum-- But one bright side-- his blatant rant of "Hell yes, we're going to take your assault rifle is the best new member recruiting slogan the NRA could even want-- first step in defeating your enemy- first- know your enemy- inside and out.

Sorta breaks my heart to see O-Rourke is from Texas though- he'd be a better fit if he was from Kalifornia-- RWTF
