So, after the last "assault" weapons ban.......

[Big guy in the sky]

This is the second thread I have started in 24 hours, all of this uproar has sparked my inquiring mind, so please bear with me.

After the last assault weapons ban, what happened to 1911's, revolvers, and bolt action rifles? I realize there was not the proliferation of companies making these items quite like there are now, but if I am going to be faced with some type of legislation pertaining to how many rounds my gun can hold; I would like to take reconciliation in the fact that not buying every cool gun I see might let me afford a Wilson Combat. Supposing a new ban would simply take care of AR and AK type rifle, high cap mags, and the like; could I still buy super nice bolt actions and 1911's?

Yes, I have read the "list from Obama", and the list of the previously banned firearms. I am more curious to know what actually happened to the availability of bolts, 1911's and revolvers. Do y'all think Kimber, Wilson, and Springfield would bring super premium prices? Were 7 and 8 round mags for these hard to find? Please enlighten me to these happenings?

those platforms, the 1911 shouldnt be affected as they have less than the magical 10 round magazines. buy rifles now in fear, buy super awesome 1911s in a ban

I don't recall because I wasn't into guns at that time. But I can't imagine why non-banned weapons and mags would change.

When I say rifles, I mean like a custom 308 built on a Remington 700 action thats like $4,000. I know that wouldn't be affected, but were the available numbers affected before?

the things affected wouldn't appy to what your asking, just mags over 10 rnds and certain features. 1911's shouldnt be affect at all

All the ones I owned got locked up back then. I heard Obama make a comment today about how long it will last, he used the timeline as, "for the next 4...10, 20, 40 years. It's time to think about who we are as a nation, where we came from and the sacrifices made to give us the freedoms so freely being stripped from us.
Has it dawned on anyone that Russian citizens have more rights and freedoms now than we, the American citizen, do !
Consider this, tHe most powerful man(puppet) in the world, the US president in his 2nd term isn't even a US citizen and argue all you want, he's not.

I think all the hype and fear needs to wait until the socialists and the Rinos in congress look over Joe Bidens wish list and make their decision to appease the media.

As far as the slippery slope goes.......people we already let them push us off of the edge.
