If you could only have 6 firearms

This isn't theoretical for some members. I've read that without special permits, South African members are in fact, limited to six firearms! And a high court there ruled that unregistered guns will be illegal and seized! The Rules preclude discussing what I'd like to add about why this is, and why it may get worse.

I've worried about this if the US adopts similar laws, God forbid. I think Brazil has such laws, unless one buys an expensive collectors license, and then,the "collection" guns can't be taken out and fired. And hunting is all but forbidden, save for the Indios in the Amazon jungles.

My list might be:

1.) S&W M-60-7, usual snub type

2.) Remington M-870 12 ga. Mine has a 26 " bbl. and an engraved receiver and recoil pad

3.) S&W M-66-3, four - inch bbl.

4.) Ruger GP-100, four-inch, stainless

5.) Marlin M-795 .22 rifle, the stainless model with black synthetic stock

6.) Winchester M-70 Fwt. Classic. Mine's a .270, but I might switch to a .30-06 in those conditions.

Sorely missed:


Ruger SP-101 .357, mine having the barrel a bit over three inches

Beretta M-92FS 9mm

CZ-75B 9mm

S&W M-60-4, which I might sub for the M-60-7. Very hard call. The three-inch full lug barrel and target sights make it an astonishingly accurate small .38.

Winchester M-70 or CZ .375 Magnum rifle, maybe a Sako Safari Grade .375. Probably the Winchester

Colt 45 auto, stainless

Ruger MK II .22 pistol. Mine's the stainless 5.5 inch bull barrel version.

Beretta M-391 20 ga. Urika Gold shotgun

CZ M-452 or Winchester M-52 (Miroku-made) sporter hunting rifle, for squirrels, mainly.

FN-FAL 7.62 mm rifle

Colt AR-15, the one like an M-16A2.

Lee-Enfield .303, the No. 4 MK 2. Mine's from Fazakerley arsenal, 1952, a favorite rifle

Sako Forester .243

Ruger M-77 International .308

Ruger Super Blackhawk, the usual 7.5-inch bbl. , stainless

S&W M-629-3, six-inch barrel

There are many others. I just hope a 6-gun limit never comes to pass here.

If you could only have 6. What's wrong with having only 6? That's what I have

LOL, I had more then 6 firearms before I graduated High School (and I'm sure many others here had far more then I did, at that time, and before!).

I graduated in 1982, so let's just say I have a FEW more then 6 now, and I have NO desire (nor intention) to get down to 6 now!

One step better.

I couldn't even conceive of such a situation.

Colddollar;

I'll "One Up" you, and make an even stronger, more positive statement. I "Will Never", subject myself to a situation, or restriction of that sort! That is the exact reason that the second amendment, was made, to the constitution of the USA. I think that we can all expect to see "The Fur Fly", when that attempt, is made, as I'm sure it will be made. It's an inevitable procedure, in the testing, and evaluation of a democracy, by its self acknowledged rulers. I hope this opinion is not considered political, but I think it's something that should be said.

1. Model 17.
2. 5” Model 10.
3. 98 Krag carbine properly done.
4. Auto-5 any gauge with chokes.
Note to self: If the .38 doesn’t do the job, use the Krag.
 
I only have a modest collection of firearms but my 6 would be;

Browning A-5, 12 ga, 3” Magnum (my favorite duck and field bird gun)
Browning Silver Hunter, 12 ga, 3” Magnum (gift from “team” at work with engraved commemorative silver plate on the stock grip)
S&W Model 66-4, 2.5” (best trigger of all my revolvers)
S&W Model 19-5, 2.5” (friends and family deal from ex-LEO BIL)
S&W Model 60 ND, 2” (everyone’s gotta have one of these)
S&W Model 36 ND, 2” (1968 with all of the goodies)

But I wil play pretend.

Sig 220
CZ 75D PCR

Believe I could get by with just two, if I had to.....S&W Model 13 and my old Remington Model 870 with barrel cut to 20” and Poly-Choke installed.

The last time I only had six firearms I was 19 years old. If I could only keep six of the current menagerie I'd pick:

Model 28-2 6" (my first gun)
K-22
Model 340 M&P
SP-101 3" (Dad's favorite)
M1991A-1 (21st b-day gift from my folks)
Inland .30 M-1 Carbine
 
USA Still a great Country?

Is the Good old USA still a great country? "YOU BET" We still don't have to worry about a restriction, such as the one being contemplated, if even subconsciously, by our conscientious, fellow, forum members. It makes me as "Proud as Puddin" that I'm living in the Good Old USA. Let's all hang On "For Dear Life" to those precious Rights, that we sometimes take for granted. That's My 2¢ worth.
