Anyone else bought at least lowers for their kids? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

You know you are a sick gun nut when you buy your guns in multiples because of the "what if". I find myself stocking up for my kids because I truly believe they will be outlawed by the time they come of age. Either that or they will be so expensive they will be untouchable unless you are rich.

Yep. Got several lowers, then bought the uppers. I have the kits and stocks as well. When they are old enough, they can build them. My oldest was first in a gun shop when he was 1 week old.

I like the way you think, Slugger. You've just given me a new thought on "long-term investment".

i thought during the last AWB that the lower had to be assembled into a rifle to be considered a pre-ban lower.
i could be wrong though

Better buy LPKs and cheapo stocks then - LOL

I didn't think they had that many lowers for sale during the last AWB.

Well you can hang those lowers in your garage since ammo will be the limiting factor in the future.

I may pick up another stripped lower since I just built my second AR.

Hmmmmmm

If they did not do that then, I am sure they will do that for the next ban. Nothing like have a stripped lower that you can't build up.

How would you even enforce something like that though?

Unless you stop selling LPKs, buffer tubes, and parts for uppers then it would impossible.
