Will lever action rifles become the new AR's?

Ummm…AK’s do lock towards the front of the bolt, not much behind an AR.

I stand corrected, sorry for the misstatement. I'm not an AK guy obviously, and my mistaken recollection was that it was not a rotating bolt. Oops.

This government would be in a world of hurt if the constitution abiding citizens coalesced and formed a resistance against tyranny.

Remember the government doesn’t create anything the people do. Insurgency tactics are a real thing, a government inflicting self-pain on its infrastructure to quell its citizenry with what little law enforcement, military, etc that follows its tyrannical orders will have its work cut out.

The main problem that is difficult is the death by a thousand cuts, they are taking bites out of our freedoms, painting us into a corner day by day. If the American patriot continues to allow this for the foreseeable future that is where our abilities to mount a resistance to tyranny start to become more difficult.

It’s all the people who look at the current government in the lens of, well we have it better than most countries, or the government telling me I can or can’t do this or that is no big deal is the problem.

We need to get back to looking at our unalienable rights, endowed by not the government but our Creator. Until we all look back and see how far we’ve come on the road of tyranny from our founding and not in comparison to the other countries in tyranny, and do something about it; than the American experiment is finished.

There is nowhere left, the United States is the last bastion of freedom and our own government is trying to squeeze it out of us like an empty tube of toothpaste.

Idk about ALL of that. Somalia is still pretty freedom-y. Cambodia, pretty free. It's late so I can't think of others but there's quite a few that our media hides from us. The Czech republic just came to mind as well

And state level bans will likely be overturned by the end of this decade.

You realize how close we are to federal bans?

I know quite a few people disliked my post, and I totally get it. This will be a "total gun freedom" forum, for sure. I was just giving my opinion. And I doubt it would ever come to "people defending themselves against our government". We elect them. They have issues passing ANY gun laws because of the potential fall out. They banned sales of "assault weapons" in the 90's, but it sunset. And that was just "assault weapons" that had certain features [which didn't even matter in the long run....and did nothing to prevent crime]. So as I look at it, I don't feel any urgency.

I just enjoy what I have and shooting them occasionally. I don't worry about "the possibility of defending against tyranny".

Imagine the British told the colonists that their flintlocks had to go but they were fine with having matchlocks. Think the story may have turned out differently?
