Thoughts on Multiple Responses to Buy Firearms.

A Mainer he was!

Ayuh!

Don't get me wrong folks. I am a STRONG 2nd AMENDMENT SUPPORTER. If you are are Legally allowed to buy and possess firearms and do so responsibly, have what you will and enjoy! My question is, am I alone feeling a little uneasy about individuals trying to buy an inordinate amount of firearms on a daily basis from this forum? If you think I'm offbase, let me know why.

Totalitarians through history say the same thing.

There is Florida, Alabama and Maine. Everyone else is a Yankee.

Ya I remember first or second time meeting him and we actually sat and talked. He did guide work up near where family friends live.... I keep finding old posts from him on other forums. He's still imparting knowledge on me....

Common Sense Reasoning.
A number of years of Law Enforcement Experience will set an alarm off in ones head when things aren't right.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIANISM! HOW DID YOU COME TO THAT MINDSET?

PRAY TELL......!

T.J., Maine is lost. Have you been up there lately? I'll give you a call this weekend. Way different from when I left there.

 

[RidgeRunner]

I still got couple handi rifles of his.

45/70 and 500 s&w. He was a Yankee too

I believe Bill was only stationed in Maine during his service time and remained a bit after. I think I remember him saying he returned home. IE: Cantonment Fla. I could be mistaken due to bad memory and worse hearing but fairly sure.

I personally know and trained with quite a few ready MF's in midcoast Maine. Southern Maine from like Freeport down is lost, because the greater Portland area has become a suburb of Boston. Real shame. The two congressional districts are mapped by population, and it's clearly Portland versus the whole rest of the state. Left vs right. In 2014 or so maybe 2015 there were so few people after all the tourists left that I looked on the official census and compared it to home here... there were more residents in just Escambia and Santa Rosa County than the entire state of Maine

It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I don’t care what a man does with his money. If he wants to amass a significant amount of firearms in a short period of time, that’s on him. ‍♂️

Of course, I’ll be standing by to help relieve him of his impulse buys when it inevitably happens.

 

[DustyDog]

I still have two rifles I bought from Sawman. I wish he was still here. I would love to know what his thoughts were on this thread.

Other than that, he ain't missing much : )

Wish I had bought every full automatic I could have 25 years ago. Bet they hold the record for most appreciating.

The $10-15,000 of HKs I sold back in '09-'10 are worth $40-50K now. And I don't even want to talk about the C&Rs.
What I own now is but a pittance...

Think of all the people that didn't register their full autos or sold them because they didn't want to register.....even pre ban fire arms and mags are worth a lot now

Lol from the amount of guidebook he talked about and living in Brunswick a hit may have been a good hit.

Ya Augusta and Lewiston don't help.

L-A will be a wild running gun battle should the SHTF. The Lewiston Armory gun show is always the biggest and best in the whole state, every year. Several of the best FFL cop shops and pawn shops are in the L-A area too

Ya probably.

Truth be told last time I was in that area back in 2016/17 it was little Somalia..... so it won't take much.

I don't necessarily think they are going that far down the rabbit hole from the op at least.

To each his own. I've managed to survive by expecting/planning for the worst based on the lowest common denominator, having more than one backup plan, and 100% enjoying it when things turn out better.

"I knew a guy, that knew a guy" in Miami, that has 4 M16s in his safe! None are registered, he knows they're worth a fortune, but is scared to try and sell them, so they just sit. Kinda sad...
