Musing over something, and a question occurred to me. Irrelevant of what party goes into office this year; a decade from now, do you think the broad iconic platforms of the firearm world to still be available, or even as popular, depending on gun law ?
AR-15, various polymer wonder nines, etc. I know certain genuine icons will probably never totally leave the scene- the 1911 Government, the S&W Mdl 10, 19, 29, the Beretta 92, Glock, etc.
I do believe gun culture is changing, irregardless of whatever idiotic laws are to be passed. Would we simply revert to "old school cool", something like a lever rifle in .30-30 or .357 Mag (or whatever), or would we "stick to our guns" with ten rounds of XXXX semi-auto firepower ? Much the same in regards to handguns... A S&W 686 or 19 in place of a 10rd XXX wonder nine ? I know I personally would prefer a 6/7 shot medium framed .357 Magnum over a 10 round pinned Glock 19, though that's me.
Yes, I do know mags could well be stockpiled, but if you use em ... they eventually wear out. Like it or not, change will eventually be forced upon us, if the country survives long enough. Perhaps not this year. Perhaps not this coming year. But it is inevitable. I suppose my ultimate question is... would we keep our current status quo if it was limited, with the old school becoming ever more obsolete, or will we return to the older designs ?
