An open letter to the gun community from HK’s marketing department: In a world of compromises, some people put the bullets in the magazine backwards…But it doesn’t matter, because our gun is on the cover of the Rainbow Six video games. Look how cool that SEAL coming out of the water looks… If you buy a $2,000 SOCOM, you will be that cool of an operator too. And chicks will dig you.
At HK, we stuck a piston on an AR15, just like a bunch of other companies have done, dating back to about 1969. However ours is better, because we refuse to sell it to civilians. Because you suck, and we hate you.
Our XM8 is the greatest rifle ever developed. It may melt, and it doesn’t fit any accessories known to man, but that is your fault. If you were a real operator, you would love it. Once again, look at Rainbow Six, that G36 sure is cool isn’t it? Yeah, you know you want one.And by the way, check out our new HK45. We decided that humans don’t need to release the magazine with their thumbs. If you were a really manly teutonic operator, you would be able to reach the controls. Plus we’ve fired 100,000,000 rounds through one with zero malfunctions, and that was while it was buried in a lake of molten lava, on the moon. If you don’t believe us, it is because you aren’t a real operator.
By the way, our cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns like the G3 and MP5 are the bestest things ever, and totally worth asinine scalpers prices, but note that cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns from other countries are commie garbage. Not that it matters, because you’re civilians, so we won’t sell them to you anyway. Because you suck, and we hate you, but we know you’ll be back. We can beat you down like a trailer park wife, but you’ll come back, you always do.
Buy our stuff.
Sincerely
HK Marketing DepartmentHK. Because you suck. And we hate you.

Just waiting on a quad rail, 7.5" barrel, and a gas tube to finish my 80% lower pistol build.

Pretty stoked.

Went to the gun show in Sac this past weekend... there was a lot of parts available and ammo if you were willing to pay the high prices. One guy had 5rd, 10rd, 20rd, 30rd, 40rd and 65rd AR15 mags for sale. The 65rd just looked ridiculous...

Takes real skill to do something like that Will be a spectacular fail if it actually needs to be used.

After reading SB-150, it was clear there was no way it was going to go far.

Democrats on Tuesday confirmed that a proposed ban on assault weapons will not be included in a package of gun reform legislation yet to be introduced in the Senate, suggesting the measure does not have broad support in Congress.

The bill's sponsor, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, confirmed to reporters Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will remove an assault weapons ban from a package of gun reform legislation, and offer it separately as an amendment.
Assault weapons ban dropped from Senate bill

Well, it isn't good that it passed to even be considered AND it isn't exactly dead yet; almost, but HIGHLY unlikely to go further than that.

Yeah you can buy "rebuild kits", you just can't assemble them while in California.

Luckily for me I owned 3 17rd Glock mags before the ban. Worth their weight in gold now. Gonna pick up some Glock +2 extensions for them eventually.
