You can’t argue they’re contemplating it. “Any semi-automatic rifle that is capable of accepting a magazine” pretty much defines any rifle most of us have. Including the old semi-auto 22 Grampa gave us 50 years ago. In all of my years alive I’ve never seen or heard this sort of thing until just recently either so sit back, watch and be prepared.

I had a Remington 700 in 300 Win Magnum when I was in Africa. Sweet weapon, but kicked like a mule. My buddy Ox loved it, so I sold it to him and we did a little trade for his Colt 357. Ox was quite a bit bigger than me, except for his hands, which he claimed never fit that Colt and he h**ed to shoot it.

Yeah, "a good fit" is important... My brother had given me a set of walnut grips for my Model 69/(¿10?) S&W, .38 Spc, SOLID STAINLESS (¡MAN, do I miss that weapon!) {Sold it to "a Buddy"; 20-ish years ago.} ... The grips were WAY TOO FAT for me, and I'm not exactly a Dwarf... I reinstalled the "factory grips"... My Model 700 was chambered in.30-.06 Springfield and is another one, that I miss having around. I'm near getting "in the market for" a heavy cal. lever action Marlin or something with a comfortable "grip" on the shoulder stock/ a pair of (NOT necessarily concealable) revolvers running the same ammo... Maybe 1 or 2 × "pocket- rockets" (Derringers); all 4 or 5 guns, using the same rounds.

They've made it just damn near impossible to buy ammunition in California unless you play their silly games. I bought a Ruger 40 cal about 20 years ago and 10 boxes of ammunition. I don't shoot it much, but I was down to my last 20 rounds or so, so I dropped by the gun shop to pick some up. Local gun shop here in Lincoln because everywhere I had looked was totally out. Ask the guy if he had any 40 ammo. Yes he did. Can I get a couple of boxes? No you can't. Turns out the state now "registers" your weapon when you buy it. So if you bought your weapon before they started doing that (which I did) and your gun isn't "registered", you can't buy ammo. So now you got to go thru the process of "registering" it in order to feed it. It's not called a registration, I forget the term they use. And if you have one that's registered, you can buy ammo for any of the rest, or basically wh**ever you want and as much as you want (or can get). Easiest thing to do is just buy a new gun - the process is automatic when you do. I'm wondering if the gun manufacturers had any hand in getting that written into law?

I doubt the gun manufacturers had anything to do with it. Since the courts are upholding the 2ed our weasel politicians have a new tactic since they can't limit and restrict guns like they would like to they are limiting, restricting and in some cases banning the gun accessories and ammunition which so far the courts haven't come down on since they technically are still allowing the right to have arms, but of course having a gun does you no good with out ammo.

I don't think it's legal to ship ammunition to individuals. Don't know much about it but I don't think so.

Well like I said, here in California you can buy all the ammo you can get your hands on, no restrictions on the amount, and as long as the state has a record that you've purchased a firearm of any kind other than a shotgun in the past 10 years or so, you can purchase any caliber you can get hold of also. The way that law is written, it encourages people to go buy a new weapon, so they can easily purchase ammunition. Sounds a little shady to me.

So... If it's "in the budget"; go buy yourself the least expensive.40 cal. you can find (¿Perhaps a Derringer?)
I remember shopping for 1, about 20 or so years ago and they WERE available, up to .44 or .45, I think. NOT overly expensive, at that point in time. (I mean, a "REAL-Live Throw Away" quality of a peashooter.)

I bought a Taurus .38 special for about 350 bucks. It was the least expensive handgun I could find that could still be considered a gun. And now I can buy ammo with no hassle.

¡Muy Bien!... My Dear Ol' Ma's last gun, was a Taurus.38... she was "OK with it"; but, she SURE was missing her S&W!! (She could STILL hit anything she fired at, ... ¡¡From the HIP!! (She always figured: "Ya ain't gonna have time, to get scientific about it...") She also had a Brownie.25 auto, for many years, that she also "shot from the hip"! (Pretty much hit what she was shooting at!) {Now, that's MY DEFINITION of "Gun Control"!}
