Banner year for firearms sales in the USA in 2011. 10,800,000 guns were sold to United States citizens in 2011. To put that in perspective, that is more guns sold, in one year, to our citizens than there are active military members in the largest 14 militaries in the world...combined.

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."
-Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto
in that case, maybe we CAN disband the military. if every citizen has half a dozen assault rifles, it'll be nearly impossible for anyone to ever invade.
As much as I love that quote, it's widely regarded as not attributable to the Admiral, or anyone for that matter. :(Quote:

Swiss have you guys beat though.
Gun politics in Switzerland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They train the majority of their population, and give them rifles and ammo. Not to mention the drive into Switzerland has pop up tank traps, and the whole country is a fort.
So a friend of mine just gave me a new gat for a late Christmas present. Double/Single action with an isosceles stance grip, and a six round wheel. Haven't taken it to the range yet but it seems pretty solid at first glance. Unfortunately, there is no picatinny rail for aftermarket attachments. :/

Gotta find something new to pick up.. Trying to sell a new Remington 770 30.06 on another site and plan to have a couple hundred to spend. Whats a good military surplus to go for? There are a few I could go with option wise.
Swiss K31, German Mauser, Russian SKS, Mosin Nagant 91/30.. Obviously I'd be willing to spend a little more on a SKS than a Nagant, but don't know really what I should be looking at price wise on these..
