And Obama says you can buy these anywhere

That is a Select Fire, Fully Transferable, NFA Registered, M2 Carbine manufactured in 1943.  Obama and his anti-gun minions would have you believe you can buy this anywhere at anytime, for less than the cost of fresh vegetables.  Well the "OPENING" bid for this rifle is $9,500.00, and for a rifle in this condition and history, that is actually LOW.

I actually expect this rifle to sell for at least $15,000.00, and more likely around 17-18 thousand.

And yet according to the anti-gun idiots, these guns sell for 20-30 dollars.  Yeah right.

Granted with a few machine tools plumbing pipes, exhaust pipes and some scrap sheet metal and bar stock a reasonably knowledgeable person CAN make a weapon that is capable of automatic fire.  For less than $50.00  I wouldn't want to fire more than 2 or 3 mags through it and beyond 10-15 yards you're safer being the target than the firer. But Obama points to the above weapon and says THAT is what he wants off the streets.  No it isn't.  It isn't ON the streets and unless it is stolen it never will be.  That rifle above is a work of artistry, a beautiful piece of fine machinery, it might be removed from the safe once a week for a loving wipe down with a fine silicone oil impregnated cloth while wearing silk or cotton gloves to protect the finish.  It might go to the range and get fired 2-5 times a year.  And then painstakingly cleaned and re-oiled then put back into the safe.

So be careful who you listen to.  Because some people who know NOTHING about the reality about firearms will try to blow smoke up your nethers like a drowning victim, others like myself will tell you the FACTS, and we will PROVIDE the facts that you can go verify yourself if you want to.
