How things have changed. I came home from the navy in 1980 after spending six months off the coast of Iran. I was on the self defense force and had grenades and a M14. I found a nice looking Ruger Blackhawk with gun belt. Had to go to the sheriff for a permit but that was a problem. I was a petty officer, carried a weapon in a war zone but I was a few days shy of 21. My dad went with me and filled out the form. I gave the sheriff the money and he handed me the permit and said happy birthday. That was savannah missouri.
And I'm sure you passed on many now with second thoughts but at least you had what you owned for a time. I have about a third of the total that passed through my custody.
Not sure why people freak out about this stuff. Once I buy a firearm that is legal for me to own, it is legally mine, no matter what laws they pass after that. Simple as that.
AR-15's come in all different types. The older style with fixed front sights and flat top in rear have gave way to free floated handguard with just gas block and no front sight. So manufactures such as Smith and Wesson have went from M&P Sport 2 to a Sport 3 free float handguard. So people will return one model for another. Or trade up to higher priced AR's that they always wanted to try out. The market is flooded with AR-15's right now. What we need in this country is more firearm ranges for people to shoot at and get better at their marksmanship.
Get what you want and keep everything you get. Many of us saw how quickly TikTok simply disappeared last week. Just about anything we’re used to can also just instantly disappear at any moment. Tomorrow or in three months or two years but whenever it is we will have no warning and no recourse. Get what you want and keep what you have periodt.
Hey pal! (I think we've spoken before on YT). I'll draw an analogy to musical instruments (in my case a drum set). A guy I was working with decades ago was a bass player. I was leaving the job and relocating to the East Coast from Chicago. He asked me if I was selling my drums before the move (I had only bought them a year or so before, so the thought of selling them had never even crossed my mind). I said "no way", and his reply has stuck with me all these years: "Good! Keep them. Because you'll never have the money to buy a new set." And if it's not the money, then it'll be a lack of time, or not being able to find what you're looking for, or some other life-related reason getting in the way.
Once you buy a gun, you should never sell it no matter how bad you need money for something, even if it is not a good choice. Buy something to replace it and keep it.
As I have gotten older my tastes in guns has changed. I have sold lots of guns but never regretted the sale as I have always bought something better and nicer with the funds and never regretted those purchases.
No different tha tradesmen and their DeWalt v Makita v whatever. Personal preference, price, experience, etc. A tool is a tool. I still have the odd tool my grandfather and Dad used even though I have more modern ones. (I literally mean work tool! Just putting that out there!😊) I live in the UK. My Great Grandfather came home on leave with his rifle over his shoulder in WW1, my Grandfather in WW2 little different, my Dad had a shotgun no issue, my mother used to go shooting with it slung over her back on a motorbike! I was a cadet shooting full bore rifles at 13. By the time I was 20 and in the RAF I had a civvy copper asking if our station armoury was a secure place to keep a shotgun to get my licence!! I gave it up after the mass shootings we had in the early 1990's as I did not have a gun at the time and its renewal was money and time I could not spare! Now, they would not let me have one as I have made FAR TOO MANY posts questioning authority, a written constitution here and in favour of your Second Amendment there! Remember, "Registration ALWAYS leads to Confiscation!" I
Think about the future of your family. Every tool you purchase, is an opportunity to provide for the future generations of your family, and leave it at that. Never ever give up your tools of freedom.
Back in 2019 I sold my Rossi 971 because I needed some money. I hated I had to do it and for the longest time never saw one again. Then finally this past weekend at a gun show I saw a 971 and bought it without hesitation. Loved that gun!
Hopefully that will help keep prices down I would like to get to the point that I can have a ar for my ar so I can ar for it. They are the Toyota truck of firearms easy to use simple to maintain runs forever.
There was a lot of scare buying going on. Maybe instead of owning 3, people are keeping their favorite and trading the rest in for something else. ARs are something you'd keep around like a Colt Python.
Back when the gov told us we didn't need an AR, I decided that was a good reason to buy one. Since then I have owned several AR platforms. I've also sold all of them. I guess I'm just old school. I prefer the good ol' M1 30cal carbine. It's what I grew up with and it's what I know and understand. I have tried to get use to and like the AR's but, I really just don't care for 'em. Call it "Personal Preference."
Treating 18, 19, and 20 year old legal adults as "special" cases to discriminate against is probably a civil rights violation as well as unconstitutional. I predict a backlash will repeal that in the courts.
Bothers me as well our young adults can go into the military at 18 because they are now adults but can't have a beer, gun, or a cigarette yet they are allowed to get their asses shot off
I've never owned an AR, or have any reason to own an AR, so I won't be getting one. But I am not one who thinks (to use that term loosely) that merely because I don't have a use for a particular type of gun, no one should be allowed to have one. Those who like ARs should not be prevented from owning as many as they want.
They’re quite nice and remarkably affordable. If you spend a few minutes with one on the range you may want to get one. I’m a revolver enthusiast but I really like the change of pace that these deliver. Of course all of this was before my tragic boating accident that had no witnesses and I was too embarrassed to report.
@@WheelgunsOnWheels -- I'm not getting one, because I have no use for one. They are much too large to use as an EDC gun, a high-powered rifle would be wrong as a home-defense weapon in my small apartment, I don't hunt, and I don't shoot recreationally (lack of time and money).
How much of those precious metals would you be willing to part with for let's say... Antibiotics? If you or your wife perhaps children where severely sick or dying. How precious are those metals to you now I wonder compared to my antibiotics 🤔
@PileofBrass yeah I understand fast moving lead but my point being that having meds with be priceless. Think about how much gold and silver you would be willing to give up for let's say 60 to 80 dollars worth of amoxicillin... especially if you or your loved ones where in dire need? I will take all that gold and silver for these antibiotics, you know last ones I got left and all. You see what I am getting at.
i think making young people wait a few days is great., but as we have seen over the last 2 decades they just keep taking our rights. Here in Ct. you can t buy ammo with out a permit yet people still die. Those old wig wearers were smarter than we thought. Shall not be infringed
I sold every gun I owned. All the ammo. Fighting knives all gone. Machetes, hatchets, bows, scissors, atlatls, steel legs traps, everything. All gone. What I didn't sell went down in a boating accident.
I can’t even believe she said that the military uses AR-15s. They do not and you both know that. What in the world??!! How can you let something that stupid and inaccurate be in, and remain in, your video? Please man up and do the right thing. The BEST way to correct this situation is to: 1) Put text over the video at that point stating that the military does not use AR-15s. 2) Creat a new video listing the 5.56 firearms that the military actually does use. Thank you.
She is not wrong! All M16,M4 etc are AR15s, but not all AR 15 are M16. The platform is a AR 15 the only thing that makes it a M16 is because the military gave it a different designation when they added automatic trigger group, but it is still a AR 15 platform.
Those of us who will not comply don't have to deal with the whole back and forth thing. The right to own tools for self defense is a natural right, given to us by the almighty, and no government installed by man can take it away. The founding fathers recognized this when they wrote the 2nd amendment.
I shot AR-15's before I let my friends talk me into buying one. To be honest I don't like them I would much rather have a bolt gun. That said the AR I had shot just fine there were no problems with it overall for the amount of rounds I fired through it. For those who want to know I chose a PSA 15. At 150 yards it had good accuracy (2.0 in. groups) only had one problem one time and that was failure to go into battery, so I had to push the bolt into place. That was it, problem was as I stated I just don't like the platform they are first and foremost ugly but admittedly utilitarian just like a Glock except an AR is much more reliable than a Glock. Hell for that matter the ugliest kid on the gun block the High-Point is more reliable than a Glock for that matter. So far of all the guns I have owned the I don't regret trading in the AR but in a weird way I think I should have kept it no matter how I felt about it. As far as the three Glocks I have owned I am definitely glad they are gone. Just for the fun of it what is/was your favorite rifle? For me it is my Enfield in 303 British AKA my deer rifle. Edit was for a grammar error.
Sorry guys but with Trump in office I no longer feel the need to buy ammo, or guns. I have a rifle and a handgun and 300 rounds of ammo for each. I'm good
@@gavinlamp5426yup. We all know some weird crap will happen and poof ammo shortage or complete stoppage will occur. Keep stacking because it’s not “if” it’s “when”.
No law or regulations are constitutional nor lawful. Every one infringes on My rights background checks are totally unconstitutional as is permits ownership of arms is a right not only God given but totally constitutional. We need to get all gun owners yo file a class action lawsuit against the government over the constitutional right to ownership. Since it costs so much for one individual to get their suit to the supreme court’s
Why do people panic buy? Like obviously you should know what you are getting into.. do some research oh wait i forget many people do nothing like this it baffles my mind
If you're constantly running in circles to cash in guns and then re-buy them, you're making foolish financial decisions. Unless you're in the high end collectors market, know what you're doing and rich, guns are not an investment. They don't hold their value. It's like any other consumer product. You pay retail, the second you walk away from the cash register, you take massive depreciation. Anyone you try to re-sell it to is going to offer 30-70% less. That's just how it works. There are rare exceptions like if you managed to snag something in hot demand on back order, but for the most part, you take a big loss. If you sell it to a gun store, you're going to get the smallest fraction of original value and when you buy it back, you'll pay full retail or very close. If you're on this treadmill, it means you're buying too damn many guns for your budget. It's as simple as that. When you get lots of OT at work or "covid stimulus checks" or your uncle croaks and leaves you some money, don't run out and convert it all into guns and ammo. There's no advantage to having 57 guns. You can't shoot but one at a time, or two if you like wasting ammo and looking all Hollywood. Get one for each role that truly makes sense, and lay in some spare parts. Do you really need six differently accessorized guns for your truck, you ATV, your cabin, your kayak and your third favorite outhouse on the back 40? Probably not. Take your extra money and sock it away for the inevitable rainy day - inflation, loss of a job, a health setback, a tree falling on your house etc. Sh*t happens. Always.
Its like taking an old silver dollar to the pawn shop. Face value is a buck. Spot Wall Streeet price is 31/oz. If your selling it the return is about $10, and the seller's asking price to the buying customerwill be in the high 20s. But most enthusiasts will have more than 1 coin, or firearm. Guns are like clothes, we have more than one shirt or pair of footwear for different occassions.
@@richardkluesek4301 A "wardrobe" makes sense to a point, if it's in line with your wealth. Having a gun collection like the Duke of Windsor's suit collection becomes problematic for a guy of modest means.
@@kenofken9458 Not really. If you don't buy black plastic guns new, over the counter, but take opportunities where you find them, it's a great investment for a working man. We just auctioned 180 guns for my late Uncle. He was a plumber. His judgement was stellar, and he made a buttload.
@@kenofken9458 It certainly is common sense. As in attire there are those owning fine garments never worn and since grown out of besides the style changing. And in firearms there are those who have a trusty few, others with enough to go into business with many new in the box unfired in vaults, and some who must have the newest and latest iteration of what the elite military and law enforcement is using or even just evaluating. Then there are those who use reliable revolvers and 1911s from the 1970s while sneered at by buffs who consider it to be unarmed unless packing the latest offering from the 2025 Shot Show with several extra 33 round Glock 'clips' (sic) /magazines in molle pouches concealed under their shirt.
It is too bad MO is far away, you will never hear me say I have bought many guns in public but it has never been a woman. After the selection and it is time for paperwork or the Ipad, love the Ipad, is when the attractive lady pops out. Yea for Maggie.
I noticed back when visiting free states (No it can't happen here) remember seeing classified sections of newspapers and Nickle ads always have a ton of "bullet hoses" for sale in them. ARs, AKs any kind of semi auto, hi magazine capacity rifle. Seems like the first firearm anyone would choose to sell. I've always figured it was the high value that drove this.
IMHO you're killing your channel with the editing 8:01 long video with 5:xx of content. Now everybody ends their viewing after the 5:xx video and YT thinks nobody is interested in your content because they are leaving before the video is over. Just saying...
I can tell she really just wants to say same old stuff. They buy it they bring them back just like all guns no increase no decrease just the same same thing when you asked about the Glocks
I live in NJ, and the AR 15 is actually legal here now, but I'm more of a mossberg 590 for home defense kind of guy and I sure as hell ain't returning it. Its lots of wealthy suburban BLUE voters that panic buy guns around here for WAYYY too much money too. My local gunstore/range is more of a overpriced tourist trap than a gun store and it's always packed with these kind of people...mostly buying handguns though..not ARs.
I believe that would have been the M-16. It wasn’t really the platform as much as the wrong powder used in the cartridges AND erroneous information about maintenance. At least that’s what I’ve read.
@@theoriginalDAL357 Right, They didn't even issue cleaning kits with them initially, the military thought it was a no maintenance needed rifle. The rice paddies and jungles this was a receipe for disaster.
@@theoriginalDAL357 ArmaLite developed the rifle and helped with the cartridge, but most of the cartridge work was completed by Remington. For the record, this was done totally outside the military’s purview. In this new cartridge, they used a specific power, the IMR 4475-an extruded or “stick” powder made by Du Pont and sold to Remington. However, the U.S. military had a “sole-source” contract (zero chance for corruption there…) for gunpowder with Olin Mathieson, who exclusively manufactured the ball-shaped WC 846 powder for the military. ball vs stick powder For simplicity sake, let’s just call them the stick powder and the ball powder. And just so that it’s easy to remember: stick powder = good, ball powder = bad. Sticks And Stones And Bullets May Break Your Bones Gunpowder is gunpowder, right? No, not at all. Different powder burns differently. Some burns faster, some slower, some are resistant to temperature, and some aren’t. Basically, there’s a lot of science that goes into gunpowder. Stoner and ArmaLite designed the M16 to be used with stick powder. The rifle was even tuned (size and placement of the gas port, BCG weight, strength of the parts, tension of the buffer spring, etc.) for stick powder. Ammunition made with the correct stick powder (manufactured by Remington) was utilized by various forces in the early days of Vietnam, including the ARVN, Green Berets, and the 7th Cavalry in the Battle of Ia Drang. Stick powder worked. But… why did ball powder not work? ( Taken from Pew Pew Tactical, How and Why the M16 failed in Vietnam)
Looks like a lot of under 21 year olds will be buying their first crossbows, bolts, bow and arrows, slingshots, knives, axes and spears…silent but deadly retribution tools?
It's like getting rid of your fire extinguisher. "I don't need one right now."
Perfect analogy.
How things have changed. I came home from the navy in 1980 after spending six months off the coast of Iran. I was on the self defense force and had grenades and a M14. I found a nice looking Ruger Blackhawk with gun belt. Had to go to the sheriff for a permit but that was a problem. I was a petty officer, carried a weapon in a war zone but I was a few days shy of 21. My dad went with me and filled out the form. I gave the sheriff the money and he handed me the permit and said happy birthday. That was savannah missouri.
Your Maggie videos are the best!
In 50+ years of owning guns nearly all the guns I have sold I have ended up regretting. (but I needed the cash from most of them)
I've been actually hungry but never sold a gun in my life.
And I'm sure you passed on many now with second thoughts but at least you had what you owned for a time. I have about a third of the total that passed through my custody.
Anytime I’ve ever sold a gun, it was for money to buy an upgrade. I’ve always regretted it later though.😢

They'll buy them... for less than 50% of what you paid (or worse). And usually only models that they know they can sell within a few months.

That said the AR I had shot just fine there were no problems with it overall for the amount of rounds I fired through it. For those who want to know I chose a PSA 15. At 150 yards it had good accuracy (2.0 in. groups) only had one problem one time and that was failure to go into battery, so I had to push the bolt into place. That was it, problem was as I stated I just don't like the platform they are first and foremost ugly but admittedly utilitarian just like a Glock except an AR is much more reliable than a Glock. Hell for that matter the ugliest kid on the gun block the High-Point is more reliable than a Glock for that matter. So far of all the guns I have owned the I don't regret trading in the AR but in a weird way I think I should have kept it no matter how I felt about it. As far as the three Glocks I have owned I am definitely glad they are gone. Just for the fun of it what is/was your favorite rifle? For me it is my Enfield in 303 British AKA my deer rifle.
Edit was for a grammar error.
Sorry guys but with Trump in office I no longer feel the need to buy ammo, or guns. I have a rifle and a handgun and 300 rounds of ammo for each. I'm good
That's awesome you have met your goals.
I think the price of ammo will likely come down. If that happens, I'll be buying more.
@Shuck-Shick-Blam same I'm buying more guns and ammo
I always buy ammo once I find a great deal on it. It doesn't hurt to have plenty. Besides, you may as well have surplus to practice with.
@@gavinlamp5426yup. We all know some weird crap will happen and poof ammo shortage or complete stoppage will occur. Keep stacking because it’s not “if” it’s “when”.
So cheap why return keep it until you will need it
No law or regulations are constitutional nor lawful. Every one infringes on
My rights background checks are totally unconstitutional as is permits ownership of arms is a right not only God given but totally constitutional. We need to get all gun owners yo file a class action lawsuit against the government over the constitutional right to ownership. Since it costs so much for one individual to get their suit to the supreme court’s
Maggie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My rights
That’s any gun
She looks like she could be the sister of John Malecki. Especially when they smile.
Maggie is adorable.
Why do people panic buy? Like obviously you should know what you are getting into.. do some research oh wait i forget many people do nothing like this it baffles my mind
People are very easily manipulated by fear.
The “I do my own research” crowd is notorious for not actually doing any research.
I dont understand why people buy or sell guns based on social media trends.
Military uses M-16 not AR-15.
M4
Is this a repeat?
If you're constantly running in circles to cash in guns and then re-buy them, you're making foolish financial decisions.
Unless you're in the high end collectors market, know what you're doing and rich, guns are not an investment. They don't hold their value. It's like any other consumer product. You pay retail, the second you walk away from the cash register, you take massive depreciation. Anyone you try to re-sell it to is going to offer 30-70% less. That's just how it works. There are rare exceptions like if you managed to snag something in hot demand on back order, but for the most part, you take a big loss. If you sell it to a gun store, you're going to get the smallest fraction of original value and when you buy it back, you'll pay full retail or very close.
If you're on this treadmill, it means you're buying too damn many guns for your budget. It's as simple as that. When you get lots of OT at work or "covid stimulus checks" or your uncle croaks and leaves you some money, don't run out and convert it all into guns and ammo. There's no advantage to having 57 guns. You can't shoot but one at a time, or two if you like wasting ammo and looking all Hollywood. Get one for each role that truly makes sense, and lay in some spare parts. Do you really need six differently accessorized guns for your truck, you ATV, your cabin, your kayak and your third favorite outhouse on the back 40? Probably not.
Take your extra money and sock it away for the inevitable rainy day - inflation, loss of a job, a health setback, a tree falling on your house etc. Sh*t happens. Always.
Its like taking an old silver dollar to the pawn shop. Face value is a buck. Spot Wall Streeet price is 31/oz. If your selling it the return is about $10, and the seller's asking price to the buying customerwill be in the high 20s. But most enthusiasts will have more than 1 coin, or firearm. Guns are like clothes, we have more than one shirt or pair of footwear for different occassions.
@@richardkluesek4301 A "wardrobe" makes sense to a point, if it's in line with your wealth. Having a gun collection like the Duke of Windsor's suit collection becomes problematic for a guy of modest means.
Really? I'm poor as dirt and been collecting for decades. I don't think my Model 70 rifles or my savage 99 will depreciate.
@@kenofken9458 Not really. If you don't buy black plastic guns new, over the counter, but take opportunities where you find them, it's a great investment for a working man. We just auctioned 180 guns for my late Uncle. He was a plumber. His judgement was stellar, and he made a buttload.
@@kenofken9458 It certainly is common sense. As in attire there are those owning fine garments never worn and since grown out of besides the style changing. And in firearms there are those who have a trusty few, others with enough to go into business with many new in the box unfired in vaults, and some who must have the newest and latest iteration of what the elite military and law enforcement is using or even just evaluating. Then there are those who use reliable revolvers and 1911s from the 1970s while sneered at by buffs who consider it to be unarmed unless packing the latest offering from the 2025 Shot Show with several extra 33 round Glock 'clips' (sic) /magazines in molle pouches concealed under their shirt.
Maggie needs her own show.
It is too bad MO is far away, you will never hear me say I have bought many guns in public but it has never been a woman. After the selection and it is time for paperwork or the Ipad, love the Ipad, is when the attractive lady pops out. Yea for Maggie.
I served in combat and 5.56 mm is not that great.
I noticed back when visiting free states (No it can't happen here) remember seeing classified sections of newspapers and Nickle ads always have a ton of "bullet hoses" for sale in them. ARs, AKs any kind of semi auto, hi magazine capacity rifle. Seems like the first firearm anyone would choose to sell. I've always figured it was the high value that drove this.
I bought five.

Dude, this old same sht is getting old. Come up with something actually new to talk or complain about.
The election has been over for a week? How old is this video?
********** RERUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *************👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Inauguration ?
👍💪😂👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
IMHO you're killing your channel with the editing 8:01 long video with 5:xx of content. Now everybody ends their viewing after the 5:xx video and YT thinks nobody is interested in your content because they are leaving before the video is over. Just saying...
********** RERUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *************👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Mom n pop shops I like much better. 2nd Amendment, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. End of story. Taking them away will never happen.
I can tell she really just wants to say same old stuff. They buy it they bring them back just like all guns no increase no decrease just the same same thing when you asked about the Glocks
I live in NJ, and the AR 15 is actually legal here now, but I'm more of a mossberg 590 for home defense kind of guy and I sure as hell ain't returning it. Its lots of wealthy suburban BLUE voters that panic buy guns around here for WAYYY too much money too. My local gunstore/range is more of a overpriced tourist trap than a gun store and it's always packed with these kind of people...mostly buying handguns though..not ARs.
Now? It's always been legal .
Crapshoot
How's the boss doing since Maggie shot him with a musket?
Who didn't see this coming? 🤣
*************** RERUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *************👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I lost alot of my Friends in Vietnam because of ar-15
Were you issued the A.R or full auto M16?
I believe that would have been the M-16. It wasn’t really the platform as much as the wrong powder used in the cartridges AND erroneous information about maintenance. At least that’s what I’ve read.
No you didn’t.
@@theoriginalDAL357 Right, They didn't even issue cleaning kits with them initially, the military thought it was a no maintenance needed rifle. The rice paddies and jungles this was a receipe for disaster.
@@theoriginalDAL357 ArmaLite developed the rifle and helped with the cartridge, but most of the cartridge work was completed by Remington.
For the record, this was done totally outside the military’s purview.
In this new cartridge, they used a specific power, the IMR 4475-an extruded or “stick” powder made by Du Pont and sold to Remington.
However, the U.S. military had a “sole-source” contract (zero chance for corruption there…) for gunpowder with Olin Mathieson, who exclusively manufactured the ball-shaped WC 846 powder for the military.
ball vs stick powder
For simplicity sake, let’s just call them the stick powder and the ball powder.
And just so that it’s easy to remember: stick powder = good, ball powder = bad.
Sticks And Stones And Bullets May Break Your Bones
Gunpowder is gunpowder, right? No, not at all. Different powder burns differently.
Some burns faster, some slower, some are resistant to temperature, and some aren’t. Basically, there’s a lot of science that goes into gunpowder.
Stoner and ArmaLite designed the M16 to be used with stick powder. The rifle was even tuned (size and placement of the gas port, BCG weight, strength of the parts, tension of the buffer spring, etc.) for stick powder.
Ammunition made with the correct stick powder (manufactured by Remington) was utilized by various forces in the early days of Vietnam, including the ARVN, Green Berets, and the 7th Cavalry in the Battle of Ia Drang.
Stick powder worked. But… why did ball powder not work? ( Taken from Pew Pew Tactical, How and Why the M16 failed in Vietnam)

Looks like a lot of under 21 year olds will be buying their first crossbows, bolts, bow and arrows, slingshots, knives, axes and spears…silent but deadly retribution tools?
