    Just purchased a PSA PA10 Gen 3 18inch stainless barrel .308 gas gun from PSA . I ordered a Vortex Pst 6-24 ffp EBR 2C MRAD scope from Europtic .
    I still need a few mags , a hard case and a few other things but it's in the works . Oh yeah the rifle comea with a 2 stage ( 2.5 first , 2 second ) trigger .I was looking at brakes and came to the conclusion that a can should be in my future . Not bad fer a Po Boy . I ordered it Saturday then went to inlaws for a Birthday dinner . While there my BIL ask me hows shooting so I showed him a pic of the purchase . He says real nice but bloomberg's gonna make it go away . Man pissed me off . So he and SIL are both LEO and I asked " would you confiscate guns if told to "? He gave a weak politician sittin on the fence answer while she says " stand by your priciples or feed your kids "? Wow. I love my SIL . Ive known her for 28 years , since she was as old as my son is now but WTF . I honestly don't think that either would be assigned a door kicking details . He's a motorcycle Cop and she's a PTO . Man I wish I wasn't so gobbsmacked or I would said " stand by your priciples or feed your kids huh . Get in the box car ."

    Been discussed on here quite a lot. Its not that surprising TBH.

    Got to feed the kids.

    And while there might be many who will refuse those orders there will be plenty ready to step in..

    That's a perfect example of how the "they" operate, directly from the playbook, divide the family's, friends, neighbors, coworkers etc.
    Then conquer.
    Chalk one up for Bloomberg if he convinced them that's what is going to happen.

    From alpha's post, didn't sound like they were in favor of confiscation?
    I would hope not.
    But I was not there to engage further
    Conversation.
     
    Hey, congrats on your purchases! Hope to see a range report soon. It's not uncommon to have low-bred inlaws. Nothing a good bitck slap can't fix and help change the topic.

    Remind him- California law not prevents officers from keeping guns purchased with a department letter at retirement.....

    The laws are slowly starting to impact LEO's as well....

    You might just give your in laws this list and remind them the only reason that they are free to be uninformed today is because a whole ton of folks have loved the principle of liberty more than their own gain. How selfish it is to not care enough to return the favor.

    THE PRICE THEY PAID

    Have you ever wondered what happened to the fifty six
    men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

    Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured
    before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
    Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two
    sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or the
    hardships of the Revolutionary War.

    They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
    sacred honor.
    What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and
    jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large
    plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed
    the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty
    would be death if they were captured.

    Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his
    ships swept from the seas by the British navy. He sold his home
    and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

    Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced
    to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress
    without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions
    were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

    Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer,
    Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

    At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
    General Cornwallis, had taken over the Nelson home for his
    headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George
    Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and nelson
    died bankrupt.

    Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy
    jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

    John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
    Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his grist mill
    were laid waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and
    caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children
    vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken
    heart.
    Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
