Do you think having lever action Shotguns and guns like the Ruger Charger draw the attention of politicians and anti gun people?
I think it does, the few who want these style of Rifles and "Pistols" may do more damage to the majority of shooters in the long run.
Some members at my Club think the way some Ruger Chargers are modified to look like a .22 caliber AR15 does not help our cause with the mainstream.
Do we need lever action shotguns or will this sort of thing tighten the noose and take away some of the things we now have?
Just a thought.
I just don't get what looks have to do with anything? Not having a go at you. The whole idea about guns looking dangerous. If a gun is in the street it is dangerous most likely.
If it is out hunting, or at the range, or at home...what the fcuk does it matter.
Dude walking down the street toting a baseball bat, double barrel shotty, single barrel bolt gun,
big black betty boop gun.
What's the damned difference.
A d**khead is a d**khead.[/
Why do you "need" a lever action shotgun?
I love this sport but I have met more than my fair share of D***heads and Rambos and nut jobs at my Club and often at my local gunshop.
This sport/hobby can be a d***head magnet it seems.
People that want to modify Auto Pistols to resemble and shoot like Auto Rifles are stretching the boundaries in my opinion.
That's great, its all legal until the authorities decide it is not and then all of the people that have no interest in Ruger Charger semi auto rifles and lever action shotguns get to lose what they have and maybe that will be a semi auto cat H license.
You can not see how people having "Pistols" like this may draw unwanted attention to our sport?

Pushing the boundaries all the time will see a crack down on everything in my opinion.
That last part you quoted. I appreciate your 2 cents I really do.
But I think it has grown more obvious by now that the disarmament agenda is just that...a complete disarmament of civilian population regardless of the reason. People can try and slow it down by hiding in the shadows out of fear for a tyrannical government but at the end of the day they want it all and we are more effective on the front line then we are pretending it's not occurring or never going to.
