Posted on local craigslist: WANTED GUN!!! up to 600 cash

[gollygee]

"me, just like every other gun owner out there now is worried about OBAMAS gun control act. its got me wondering what firearms will go first, the hand guns or semi autos. so I AM LOOKING FOR ANOTHER AK47 VARIANT, WILL PAY UP TO 600 CASH
EMAIL WITH WHAT YOU GOT!!! "

These people are going to feel stupid in a few years when nobody has taken their guns.

[Buzz Clik]

1. They wouldn't be gun nuts if they weren't ragingly paranoid.

[PeaceNikki]

2. Nah, they'll credit the NRA with keeping their gun rights safe.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. Personally...

I would like to find a heavy mortar, with plenty of ammunition. Not that I have any worries about it being confiscated, it's just that I have a great view from my apartment roof and it would be vastly entertaining to be lobbing mortar rounds around town and watch them blow shit up.

Good, god-fearing, patriotic American that I am.:nuke: :patriot:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

32. You snob!

What?

You're too good to make your own Molotov Cocktails like the rest of us leftwing kneejerk liberal hippie scum?



Molotov Cocktail

1 1/2 oz vodka
1 splash 151 proof rum

Pour a shot of vodka (preferably Russian) into a shot glass. Float the 151, ignite, blow out, and shoot.

34. That'll keep your teeth white

[Tangerine LaBamba]

36. I don't know

Forget just once to blow that damn thing out and your teeth get all scorched and like that......................

[Phred42]

63. One does have to be careful

[pipi_k]

46. I'm looking for

one of those Death Star thingies the Evil Emperor blew up whole planets with.

For hunting purposes only, though....

:evilgrin:

[SoCalNative]

4. Someone needs to report the post

not only to the CL webmaster but to the local authorities.

[Taverner]

6. AK 47s are legal in some states, as long as they aren't fully auto

[Buzz Clik]

10. Some states allow fully automatic weapons.

How else could you possibly get your limit of game with a single pull of the trigger?

[Taverner]

Well - yeah I understand the uselessness of Fully Auto

But if the paranoid want them, and shoot them away from us - what's the harm?

[jody]

23. If you "understand the uselessness of Fully Auto" then you know such firearms have been regulated

since 1934 under the National Firearms Act.

My guess is you didn't know that.

[Thothmes]

27. Which states allow full automatic weapons for hunting?

[Buzz Clik]

53. Holy shit. Do I have to put :sarcasm: every damned time?

[jody]

59. Given the abysmal ignorance of gun -grabbers re RKBA, it's very difficult to tell a stupid statement

from a joke.

[Thothmes]

61. Why the overpowering urge

to make statements unsubstiatiated by any fact for the sake of idle commenting. JMO

[Buzz Clik]

64. Meh. Lighten up.

[jody]

19. All AK-47s are select fire meaning auto capable. They are covered under 26 USC Chapter 53. n/t

[gollygee]

13. Weapon posts are prohibited on craigslist

so I did flag it because of that.

[michreject]

35. On what charge?

The wanted ad is not illegal, even if he bought one as a result of the ad, no law broke.

[gollygee]

49. As far as craigslist goes, it's against their rules

But I agree that it doesn't sound illegal to me. So I flagged it, which is what they want done, but I can't imagine calling the police.

[yodoobo]

51. Its a perfectly legal long gun in about 40 states

Hopefully, that loophole will be fixed soon, but in the meantime, its unlikely that the advertiser has violated any laws.

[hunter]

75. Report to the local authorities? It probably IS the local authorities...

Wanted: Stupid Criminals. Sell us your automatic weapon for $600 and win a prize!

[Arctic Dave]

5. I'm hoping by next year I can buy just about get any gun I want

for 10 cents on the dollar. Wohoo! Thank you stoopid.

Spelling. Oops.

[madinmaryland]

7. ..

:popcorn:

[madinmaryland]

8. ..

:popcorn:

as this thread gets moved to teh gungeon.

[gollygee]

9. I didn't even know there was a gungeon

I'm have no real opinion on that kind of thing. I don't have guns but I live in western Michigan, and most people here do, and I'm OK with it. But a "gungeon" isn't likely to be a place I'd post or read.

[noamnety]

12. Please hit the craigslist prohibited link

even if you don't report it elsewhere. Firearms are on the list of prohibited craigslist items. They'll remove the post.

Edit: I found the post and reported it.

[gollygee]

15. I did

before I posted here even.

[noamnety]

18. Ah, thanks. (nt)

[jody]

14. Visit DU’s Guns-Fortress where Democrats defend RKBA protected by the Second Amendment against those

who want to disarm “We the People” forcing us to submit to violent criminals.

SCOTUS says our defense is impregnable.

[Paladin]

29. Well, If SCOTUS Says Your Defense Is Impregnable......

....why don't you and your fellow gun extremists shut the hell up about it?

[jody]

31. Hi Paladin, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. We pro-RKBA Dems must fight those who would take

away a right protected by the Second Amendment.

Now that SCOTUS has acknowledged that right, one would think gun-grabbers would shut up but no, they keep yapping like scared chihuahuas trying to make it easier for criminals to live their lives of crime without danger of attacking an armed victim.

I promise not to use my gun to defend you if you are attacked by violent criminals just to honor your dedicated effort to disarm victims.

[Paladin]

68. Not A Very Good Answer, Jody

If Heller is really as potent as you say it is, all that yapping by those who don't share your views on guns shouldn't bother you; you ought to be able to ignore it. Like I've said before, the Supremes delivered your side the gift of a lifetime with Heller; it could have been drafted by Ted Nugent, if he had a functioning brain. And what's the response from you guys? About a day's worth of triumphal gloating, and then right back to the paranoid shrieking, with an emphasis on vilifying our Democratic president elect. The DU Gun Dungeon reads like FreeRepublic more than ever now, and you're one of the principal Obama-trashing voices down there. As if he's going to have any time in the next 8 years to devote to taking your guns away.

Oh, and thanks for the withdrawal of protection statement; kind of a reversed version of one of my favorite Gun Nut fantasies: "Heroic gun-bearing citizen protects spineless, pussified gun-grabber from evildoers, thus showing pathetic gun-grabber the error of his ways." Gotta love it.

Happy holidays, by the way.....

[jody]

69. Please provide your own answer then but I will still refuse to come to your defense. n/t

[Paladin]

74. Whatever Makes You Happy. (n/t)

[patriotvoice]

33. Because legislation hasn't caught up with the recent Heller decision. So...

I'll shut the hell up when draconian laws designed to catch bootleggers on technicalities and keep entire government agencies in business are repealed.

[jody]

11. Obama could eliminate such fears if he would promise to veto any bill that renews the AWB. Instead,

he supports making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent that would ban the most popular firearms in America.

That contradicts his promise before the election "I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people’s lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away."

Gun-owners have every reason to believe a Democratic controlled Congress will pass a bill like H.R. 1022 or S.2237 and Obama will sign it as he promised after the election.

[liberal1973]

70. Tough the right wingers lost.

[jody]

77. I agree the right wingers lost but we progressive Dems interested in defending all rights protected

by our Constitution won a resounding victory when SCOTUS in Heller said "1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."

That destroys the gun-grabber effort to ban firearms by claiming the 2nd protects a collective right, the militia, and not an individual right as so clearly stated by the authors of the Bill of Rights.

We pro-RKBA Dem progressives expect another victory in NORDYKE vs. KING when SCOTUS is expected to rule that the Second Amendment is incorporated into the 14th.

[Donnachaidh]

16. report the damned thing as inappropriate

That will shut this nonsense down quickly.

[BobRossi]

17. Flag it.

I don't think gun sales are allowed on CL.

[gollygee]

21. They aren't allowed, and I did flag it

But I thought it was a pretty funny post anyway. I don't think anyone is going to take away anyone's guns. I don't own any guns, but most people I know do, of both parties. I just don't see it happening and I think people who are so worried about it are foolish.

[laconicsax]

20. They don't seem to understand some basics here:

1)If "Obama" is going to take their guns away, then any money they spend on guns wasted since they'll soon have neither.

2)If they plan on using the guns to keep "Obama" from taking their guns, then any money they spend is wasted since they'll lose their guns and either go to jail or be killed in the ensuing shoot-out.

("Obama" of course is a boogeyman, not to be confused with the current President-elect)

[jody]

22. Gun owners accept Obama's promise to renew the so called assault weapons ban that would prevent

buying some of the most popular firearms in the U.S.

That's why gun-owners are concerned.

[jody]

24. Since you are upset, suggest you search craigslist for "rifle" and alert on all those sales. n/t

[gollygee]

28. I'm not upset

Craigslist doesn't allow them. I'm not sure if there's a legal reason or it's just their policy or whatever. But I'm not upset about it. I thought it was funny.

[jody]

30. What's really funny is the posts in your thread re AK-47 when your OP says "AK47 VARIANT".

Automatic firearms have been regulated since 1934 under the National Firearms Act but semi-automatic "AK47 VARIANT" are not.

The problem is Obama's support for renewing the defunct "assault weapons ban" that is not about "assault" at all but an attempt by gun-grabbers to ban semi-automatic firearms.

Bills H.R. 1022 and S.2237 would renew the AWB and it is vigorously opposed by 80+ million gun-owners.

[noamnety]

38. Sometimes I do that.

The odd thing is that I had done that earlier this evening on a whim, first time in weeks, then I run into this post on DU.

[jody]

39. I'm sure you report "switchblade knives, martial arts weapons, scopes, silencers, ammunition,

ammunition magazines, BB guns, tear gas or stun guns" and the other items not permitted on craigslist.

41. There are a few things on that list I've reported.

weapons are the only ones I've gone out of my way to search for.

Did you have a point?

[jody]

42. "weapons are the only ones"! That prompts a question, what do you have against guns? n/t

[noamnety]

44. And that also prompts a question.

what business is it of yours if I report violations of craigslist policies to the people who enforce craigslist policies?

[jody]

45. Interesting that you are a self-appointed enforcer of sales on the internet. :rofl: Good bye! n/t

[gollygee]

48. That's the way craigslist is set up

They want people to flag things that are against the rules. I flag things that are - counterfeit watches and purses, weapons, whatever I notice. Anyway, it's part of being in that community- they count on people who use the service to flag things that are against the rules. If three different IPs flag it, it gets pulled.

[noamnety]

50. People sure have weird reactions to flagging weapons.

I've flagged prescription drugs on CL before. Not sure if people think that means I'm against prescriptions. ;)

[michreject]

56. Sickning

Isn't it.

[liberal1973]

73. I will report on this dumb pos.

[L0oniX]

25. 600$? fuck that ...Hi Point 9mm pistol $149

[MichaelHarris]

26. He needs the AK because

Toys-R-Us is having a sale on Nintendo Wii and they only have 3 in stock.

[Bitter_Clinger]

37. Why would he feel stupid?

He wants a weapon for a certain price and if the laws do not change in the future he has a weapon that he desired and paid what he felt was a good price for. Hell, if he lived in Texas I would probably see if he wanted one of my SKS rifles (I have 3). I have an AK-47 but I am not about to part with it as they are becoming pretty hard to find. With my Ruger Mini-14, my Panther Arms AP-4 (Civilian variant of the Military M-4 Carbine) and the Dragunov Sniper Rifle my dad left to me when he passed away, I have quite a collection of military hardware. I won't even bother to list my non-military rifles, shotguns and my handguns. Don't want to hit the bandwith of this site too hard. :)

If I did not have these, I would be seeking to buy at least a couple of them in case the laws do change in the future. If the laws do not change, I have some weapons that I wanted anyway if they do I already have them. If the laws changed and I did not have them then it would be too late.

[alarimer]

40. Sic the ATF after them.

That has to be an illegal way to buy guns. If not, it should be.

[jody]

43. Sales interstate would go through a FFL dealer and in some states like CA that's also required.

That's not illegal so why do you believe it should be?

[michreject]

57. It's not

an it won't be.

[jmg257]

47. Obama wants to reinstate the semi-auto AWB; guy wants a semi auto now. Why is that stupid? nt

[Dukkha]

52. i checked out gunbroker.com

the AK variants do seem to be escalating but the much better AR-15/M4 rifles are pretty much the same price range as before. Even the Colt models.

[aikoaiko]

54. So many people on DU must think the party platform, Obama's support to reauthorize the AWB, and....

...Democratic leaders in both houses who regularly talk about reauthorizing the ban are just running jokes.

:shrug:

A lot of Democrats are going to feel stupid if the AWB does get reauthorized and it costs us seats in both houses.

[-..__...]

55. You're all going to feel stupid...

if it was a joke/troll listing.... I know, I've done it myself. :smoke:

[jody]

58. D__S you've spoiled all the fun of watching gun-grabbers roll their fear into a ball.

[-..__...]

79. Looks like I'll have to place another Craigslist ad.

Something frightening and menacing to get the bed wetters all in a bug-eyed lather like a .50 BMG AK-47 with "sniper" scope, or perhaps a belt fed 1911 (includes 1,000 rounds of ammo).




:smoke:

[jody]

60. Statement you cite is an offer to buy, not an "advertisement for sale" and complies with the rules

that say certain items the "advertisement for sale of which is not permitted on craigslist".

[gollygee]

62. No, that's not how it works

You aren't allowed to ask to buy illegal drugs, child pornography, or anything else on the "prohibited items" list either.

[jody]

65. I know nothing about craigslist but its rules prohibit sale of certain items. Perhaps the rules

should be rewritten but I really don't care.

[gollygee]

66. The rules prohibit using craigslist to facilitate the sale of certain items.

It isn't specifically about posting things "for sale". If you post a "wanted" and you buy it, that's still a sale that took place through craigslist, and that's still against the rules.

[jody]

67. My #60 quoted the rule and as I said in #65, I don't care one way or the other. n/t

[happychatter]

72. so that was YOUR ad, eh?

flagged and removed

email craig, see what HE has to say about it

he's a nice guy...

[jody]

76. Not my ad, was it yours? n/t

[liberal1973]

71. Just another un-American NRA pos.

[jody]

78. I do not like the NRA's partisan political efforts but what "un-American NRA pos." do you mean? n/t
